The Anti-Hero hitmaker and the two-time Super Bowl winner were rumored to be dating after it was reported earlier this month that they were “hanging out quietly.”
Neither Kelce nor Swift have confirmed the rumors, but Eagles center Jason admitted on the court. WIP morning show that he believes it to be “100% true”.
“I think things are going well and I think that’s 100 percent true,” the 35-year-old said.

Jason also admitted that he tries not to get too involved in his younger brother’s love life.
“I don’t really know much about what’s going on in Travis’ love life and I try to keep…you know his business, it’s his business and I try to stay out of that world “, he added.
Travis, who previously dated influencer and broadcaster Kayla Nicole, was first linked to Swift earlier this month.
They were reportedly together when the Midnights singer visited New York a few weeks ago, the Messenger reported last week.
Kelce, who made his season debut Sunday, scoring a touchdown in the Chiefs’ 17-9 win over the Jaguars, first tried to join Swift when his Eras tour came to Kansas City this summer.
He revealed on his New Heights podcast with his brother and Eagles center Jason that he tried to give the singer a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it.
“So I was a little hurt that I wasn’t able to give her one of the bracelets that I made for her,” Kelce said.
“She doesn’t meet anyone – or at least she didn’t want to meet me. So, I took it personally.
Jason jokingly guessed that Taylor, a Pennsylvania native, refused to meet Travis because of his known fondness for the Eagles.
Kelce first tried to get closer to Swift when her Eras tour came to Kansas City this summer.
“Well, she probably hasn’t gotten over the Super Bowl yet. She’s a huge Eagles fan, so maybe she just made something up and just didn’t want to talk to you,” he declared.
Swift, who won nine awards at the VMAs, split from actor Joe Alwyn in April after six years together.
Jason was already informed about his brother’s love life last week after the Eagles’ 34-28 win over the Vikings.
On Thursday Night Football, Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez just couldn’t resist asking the Eagles’ Kelce about his brother.
“I saw these rumors. I can’t comment on them,” the center said on Amazon’s postgame show.
“Ever since ‘Catching Kelce,’ everyone has been in love with Travis’ love life,” he added, referring to the reality TV show his brother previously appeared on.
“So I don’t really know what’s going on there. I know Trav is having fun and we’ll see what happens with whoever he ends up with.
Jason’s comments come a day after Travis appeared on Kristin Cavallari’s Let’s Be Honest podcast to discuss dating and relationships.
The Chiefs star has revealed what will and won’t make sparks spark in a relationship for him.
The two-time Super Bowl winner said “high maintenance” would require him to show up for a getaway car.
“High maintenance, I’m leaving,” he said. “If you’re arrogant, pretentious or just superior to others, that’s what turns me off the most.”

Travis added that he would be delighted by “a kind of sweetness” in a partner, explaining that his mother, Donna, has a “kind heart.”
The eight-time professional pitcher explained that he guards the fortress when entering into a relationship.
He said he would look to take things slowly, explaining: “To really delve into a relationship with someone, I feel like it’s going to take at least, I don’t know, it’s going to take some time.
“It’s not going to be immediate because, given the things that I’ve been through, just in my past, I feel like you really have to know someone to take that step and be really engaged and be full throttle. I can’t just meet someone and automatically think that eternity is just a day…I think it takes a long time for someone to really know someone and really find this affection and this love for him.
Several sports figures have weighed in on the rumored romance between Travis and Swift, including ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith, who tipped his hat to the Chiefs star after rumors emerged suggesting the tight end was dating with the pop sensation.
“Champions love champions. Bro, more power to you,” the sports analyst said.
And now Smith said Kelce and Swift “could do a lot worse” than each other.
“So I heard about Travis Kelce – my brother from another mother, I love this brother, he’s one of the coolest people I know – I know he might be dating Taylor Swift,” Smith said on Monday’s episode of “Stephen A Smith Show‘.
“Taylor Swift, you could do a lot worse. But so could he, because I haven’t gotten over that Taylor Swift concert. I mean, she was off the chain.
“Putting that aside, Travis Kelce with Taylor Swift…it’s not bad. It’s not bad now.
Sports figures have weighed in on the romance rumor, including Stephen A. Smith.
Smith suggested that the couple’s individual success might naturally draw them to each other.
“I sincerely doubt that Travis Kelce will find anyone more successful than her. I mean, she made over $5 billion from this concert tour. Travis Kelce is a Super Bowl champion – champions like champions. My brother, more power to you.
Rob Gronkowski – a four-time Super Bowl champion – also suggested the power couple would be “Ken and Barbie No. 1 in the NFL.”
However, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy was unimpressed by the rumors, saying the Grammy winner could do better than the NFL star, saying Travis “wouldn’t be my first choice” at this day if he was the pop superstar.
