00:00 You hate that it's happening?
00:01 No, I mean, it's life, baby.
00:02 It's life.
00:03 I threw it out there.
00:04 I threw the ball in her court.
00:05 And, you know, I told her, you know, maybe I've seen you
00:07 rock the stage in Arrowhead.
00:08 You might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead
00:10 and see which one's a little more lit.
00:12 So we'll see.
00:13 We'll see what happens in the near future.
00:15 Dog.
00:15 Travis!
00:16 Travis Kelce has finally broken his silence
00:19 on the swirling rumors that he and Taylor Swift are dating.
00:23 On Thursday, the 33-year-old NFL star
00:26 made an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show,
00:29 and he didn't shy away from sharing
00:31 his thoughts on the chatter.
00:33 Your love life is being talked about by the whole entire world
00:35 right now.
00:36 If you would like to expand upon anything, please.
00:39 We would like to know.
00:40 You're going to give me the floor?
00:42 The floor is yours.
00:43 I'll tell you what.
00:44 It's fun.
00:44 It's hilarious how much traction this has actually got.
00:48 I think it's-- right now, it's like that old game
00:51 in school called telephone, where everybody's just
00:53 whispering in each other's ear, just hearing some random stuff.
00:56 And then you got--
00:58 especially-- no one actually knows what's going on.
01:01 Travis did playfully throw blame on his brother, Jason Kelce,
01:05 though, for fueling the fire even further.
01:08 After he joked during an interview with Philadelphia
01:10 Sports Talk radio station 94WIP on Wednesday
01:14 that he believed the dating rumors are, quote, "100% true."
01:18 Especially when you got Jason Kelce on live television
01:22 telling people just both sides.
01:24 He doesn't know.
01:25 It's true.
01:25 It's this and that.
01:26 He goes on Thursday night--
01:27 football, gets a big dub, gets asked about it
01:30 by my guy Tony Gonzalez, because his daughter had to know.
01:33 And he tells everybody.
01:35 First, the first thing he brings up
01:36 is the catching Kelce, who I thought
01:38 everybody got rid of that.
01:41 No, a lot of those--
01:42 hey, I've seen a lot of those videos.
01:43 You did great.
01:44 You did great.
01:44 Travis has been having a whole lot of fun since then.
01:47 And he's still having fun.
01:49 And then not even a week later, tell everybody
01:51 that it's 100% true.
01:52 I mean, the guy is absolutely ridiculous.
01:54 It can't stay out of the freaking headlines.
01:57 He was on the show yesterday saying he wants to be--
01:59 or he-- not that he wants to be, but the fact
02:03 that everyone thinks he's in rap report of my dating
02:06 relationship.
02:06 Please, everybody, stop asking my brother about my dating
02:10 relationship.
02:10 We didn't ask.
02:11 Want to let you know, we did not ask.
02:12 We did not ask.
02:12 Put him in that situation.
02:13 I appreciate that.
02:14 Yeah, no problem.
02:14 I appreciate that.
02:15 The Kansas City Chiefs player concluded his thoughts
02:17 on the matter by sharing what could be in the works
02:20 with the bejeweled singer and how the door isn't necessarily
02:23 closed.
02:24 You hate that it's happening?
02:26 No, I mean, it's life, baby.
02:27 It's life.
02:27 I threw it out there.
02:28 I threw the ball in her court.
02:29 And you know, I told her, you know,
02:30 maybe I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead.
02:32 You might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead
02:35 and see which one's a little more lit.
02:37 So we'll see what happens in the near future.
02:39 Dog.
02:40 Travis!
02:41 Hey!
02:42 All right, man.
02:42 All right now!
02:44 Hey, let's go.
02:45 All right, man.
02:45 We're talking Power Cup with the NFLs in the game.
02:47 We appreciate the hell out of you.
02:48 You're the man.
02:48 Good luck with everything on the field and in the suites.
02:51 Yeah.
02:52 You're the greatest, ladies and gentlemen.
02:53 Travis Kelson, thank you so much.
02:55 [APPLAUSE]
02:56 The Travis and Taylor dating rumors
02:58 all started when the tight end recently dodged questions
03:01 about the pop star during an NFL Plus interview
03:05 after he previously admitted to Jason on their podcast
03:08 New Heights that he tried to give her his phone
03:10 number on a friendship bracelet during her heiress tour stop
03:13 in Kansas City, Missouri.
03:15 Speaking of Taylor Swift, I know you went to the Taylor Swift
03:17 concert.
03:18 How was it?
03:18 Yeah, well, I was disappointed that she doesn't talk
03:22 before or after her shows because she
03:24 has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings.
03:27 So I was a little butthurt I didn't get to hand her
03:30 one of the bracelets I made for her.
03:32 You made her a bracelet?
03:33 Yeah.
03:33 Out of what?
03:34 If you're up on Taylor Swift concerts,
03:36 there are friendship bracelets.
03:37 And I received a bunch of them being there,
03:40 but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.
03:43 All right, man.
03:44 Ooh.
03:45 Your number's in '87 or your phone number?
03:47 You know which one.
03:51 So she doesn't meet anybody, or at least
03:55 she didn't want to meet me.
03:56 So I took a personal.
03:57 But it was an unbelievable show.
03:59 And honestly, Kansas City showed out.
04:02 I've only seen Arrowhead filled like that for Chiefs games
04:05 with that much excitement.
04:06 And yeah, everybody was dressed in pink and purple
04:10 going crazy for her.
04:11 It was wild.
04:11 It was a wild show.
04:12 Well, she probably just hasn't gotten over the stroopwheel
04:14 yet.
04:14 She's a big Eagles fan.
04:15 So maybe she just made something up
04:17 and just didn't want to talk to you.
04:18 Damn it.
04:18 Travis kept it coy in his response
04:20 during the interview when asked about that moment
04:23 and if they've actually hung out, playfully replying,
04:26 "I said what I said, and I meant what I said when I said it.
04:29 And you know what?
04:30 It is what it is.
04:31 I'm not going to talk about my personal life.
04:33 I know what you writers want to hear.
04:35 And you want to hear more about that,
04:36 and I'm not going to give you anything."
04:38 The 33-year-old "Enchanted" songstress
04:40 is presumably single at the moment.
04:42 But she was in a relationship with actor Joe Alwyn
04:45 for six years until news of their split broke back in April.
04:49 Taylor then briefly dated the 1975's lead singer,
04:52 Mattie Healy, but they went their separate ways in June.
04:56 As for Travis's dating history, he was romantically involved
04:59 with on-air sports reporter, Kayla Nicole, for five years
05:03 until they called it quits in 2022.
05:05 And then the Kansas City Chiefs tight end dated Maya Benberry
05:09 on his E! dating show, "Catching Kelsey."
05:11 But they ended their relationship
05:13 after the series wrapped.
05:15 AXIS Hollywood chatted with Travis back in May,
05:17 and we got to know him better during a quick rapid-fire Q&A.
05:21 Super Bowl champ, now with your own music fest,
05:23 why was "Kelsey Jam" something you were passionate about doing?
05:26 Oh, man, "Kelsey Jam" was--
05:28 I still don't even know how this thing even came about.
05:31 I've always wanted to throw a party for Kansas City.
05:33 And what better way than during draft weekend,
05:36 after we win the Super Bowl, kind of one last little ride
05:39 for the Super Bowl winning season,
05:40 and then, you know, a start for going after another one.
05:43 Amazing.
05:44 We recently saw you at a Vegas golf tournament on the mic,
05:47 singing "Backstreet Boys."
05:48 What's your go-to karaoke?
05:51 I wasn't singing "Backstreet Boys."
05:52 I ended up singing "Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC.
05:55 I got a few in the back pocket, though, if you already know.
05:58 Are we going to get one tonight?
05:59 You might see me out there.
06:00 It'd be a little--
06:01 I don't know.
06:02 It'd be something new for me to just take it over like that,
06:04 though.
06:04 I'm going to have to actually, like, read.
06:06 I can't just, like, free-falling.
06:08 OK, great.
06:08 If you were to start a boy band, what celebs--
06:11 what three celebs would join you?
06:12 Oh, man, well, I got to have my favorite, you know,
06:15 boy band rock star ever, Justin Timberlake, in there,
06:18 without a doubt.
06:20 Both my guys, Drew and Alex from Chainsmokers,
06:23 those are my guys, too.
06:23 So I would say those three right there, that makes four.
06:26 Amazing.
06:27 And that's our boy band right there.
06:29 Let's make it happen.
06:30 You killed it on "SNL."
06:31 What was the best part of that experience for you?
06:34 Oh, my gosh.
06:36 Being able to see my mom sitting right there in the crowd,
06:38 my dad, my family, having my brother kind of do it with me.
06:41 We both-- we grew up watching "SNL."
06:43 And kind of like, I don't know, gave a smile.
06:46 So it was just-- it was fun to see them kind of be
06:48 in that light with me.
06:49 Amazing.
06:50 Now we're going to do some rapid fires.
06:51 You ready?
06:52 All right.
06:52 My favorite.
06:53 Teen celebrity crush.
06:54 Oh, my gosh.
06:55 Teen celebrity crush?
06:56 Probably Christina Aguilera.
06:58 All right.
06:58 What's your ritual before every game?
07:00 My ritual?
07:02 Just get some French toast, some type of French toast
07:05 or, like, pastry.
07:06 First job?
07:08 My first job was a--
07:09 I was a survey taker.
07:11 I would call people's homes and ask them surveys
07:13 about Obamacare.
07:14 Who's the most famous person in your phone?
07:15 Dang, I don't even know.
07:22 Jason Kelce.
07:22 I don't know.
07:23 I draw a blank.
07:24 I drew a blank.
07:24 All right.
07:25 All right.
07:25 You're the most famous, Jason.
07:26 Congrats.
07:27 Fill in the blank.
07:28 If I weren't an NFL player, I would be?
07:32 A rock star.
07:34 I wish.
07:35 I have no musical talents.
07:36 Just karaoke.
07:37 My look is not complete without--
07:42 the right kicks on, a big sneaker head.
07:45 And what actor would play you in a romantic comedy?
07:47 A romantic comedy?
07:50 Everyone says that I look like Channing Tatum,
07:52 and I got that a lot when I was in high school.
07:54 So I would say Channing, for sure.
07:55 And who would play Jason?
07:57 Who would play Jason?
07:58 Like, Jack Black.
08:01 Access, thanks for having me.
08:02 Appreciate you guys coming up for Kelce Jam, baby.
