As Week 3 of the NFL season is set to kick off tonight, there is one off-the-field story that is not going away anytime soon. Travis Kelce and his possible relationship with pop megastar Taylor Swift have been a big story in the NFL world as of late.
With football being back and so much great action on the field, it just shows the star power of the possible couple that fans across the NFL and in pop culture just can’t seem to get enough tea about the matter.
Naturally, with two celebrities so polarizing rumored to be together, fans from both the sports side and the entertainment side of things have had their takes on it.
Did Jason Kelce Spill the Tea?
While this story doesn’t look like it is going away anytime soon, if there was a lull in fan interest and questions, Travis can thank his brother Jason for the flame being stoked again.
Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce was on a Philadelphia radio station earlier this week, and when asked about his brother and Taylor being together, he didn’t do anything to quiet the rumors, that’s for sure.
