Travis Kelce on Taylor Swift romance:

Travis Kelce, meanwhile, has stayed relatively tight-lipped about his rumored romance with Taylor Swift. On his podcast, he co-hosts with brother Jason, of the Philadelphia Eagles, he said, “Shout out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy.”

“I just thought it was awesome how everyone in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her. The friends and family. She looked amazing, everybody was talking about her in a great light.

“On top of that, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans of course. We script it all ladies and gentlemen. It was just impressive.

“To see the slow motion chest bumps, to see the high fives with mom, to see how the Chiefs kingdom was all excited she was there, that [expletive] was absolutely hysterical, it was definitely a game I'll remember, that's for damn sure,” Travis added. “And then we just slid off in the getaway car in the end…

“Shout out to Taylor for coming through and seeing me rock the stage.”

Taylor Swift didn’t allow her music during Chiefs game:

Taylor Swift clearly didn’t allow Fox network to play her music during Chiefs game broadcast. In a FoxSports.com blog post posted on Thursday (Sept. 28), NFL on Fox‘s lead producer Richie Zyon revealed that “earlier in the week, amid the avalanche of rumors, our bulldog associate producer Rich Gross had sought permission to use some of Swift‘s music,” he wrote. “Not a chance.”

Richie continued, “Per the FOX music department, Swift’s record label and publishing company denied our request ‘in conjunction with speculations on or about her private/personal/dating life.’”

Richie further explained how the crew went about capturing the event. “Russo showed restraint not taking gratuitous live shots, saving the opportunities for when she reacted to action in the game,” he said. “Her joyful expression after Kelce scored a touchdown was the image of the day, captured beautifully by our low-end-zone cameraman Andy Mitchell.”
