00:00 "You gonna give me the floor?"
00:01 "The floor is yours!"
00:02 "You gonna give me the floor?
00:03 I'll tell you what."
00:04 Travis Kelce is officially addressing those Taylor Swift romance rumors.
00:10 After sparking dating speculation with Taylor Swift, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end set
00:15 the record straight on his relationship status in a new interview.
00:20 The NFL star says this during his September 21st appearance on The Pat McAfee Show while
00:26 discussing his brother's recent commentary on his love life.
00:30 "It's hilarious how much traction this has actually got.
00:34 I think right now it's like that old game in school called telephone where everybody's
00:39 just whispering in each other's ear, just hearing some random stuff and then you got,
00:43 you know, especially, no one actually knows what's going on, especially when you got Jason
00:49 Kelce on live television telling people just both sides, he doesn't know, it's true, it's
00:55 this and that."
00:56 It seems that Travis isn't completely shutting down the idea when it comes to the future,
01:01 noting that he did shoot his shot.
01:03 "You hate that this is happening though?
01:06 You hate that it's happening?"
01:07 "No, I mean it's life, baby.
01:09 It's life.
01:10 I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court and you know, I told her, you know,
01:12 maybe I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage
01:16 in Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit.
01:19 So we'll see what happens in the near future."
01:21 The NFL player first raised eyebrows about a potential romance with the singer back in
01:26 July.
01:27 At the time, he admitted he tried to shoot his shot when Taylor was in Kansas City for
01:33 her Ares Tour concert.
01:35 Travis told his brother Jason on their New Heights podcast, quote, "So I was a little
01:41 butthurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her."
01:46 And there was one specific reason Travis did want to hand her that bracelet, adding, quote,
01:51 "I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with
01:57 my number on it."
01:59 And just a few days ago, his NFL family, including commentator Rich Eisen, decided to have some
02:05 fun with the romance speculation.
02:08 During the September 17th broadcast of NFL Game Day Morning, Rich dropped several T-Swift
02:14 puns while discussing Travis' return to the field.
02:18 "Should have known that all too well that you would not know.
02:21 Well, I mean, you saw it on Thursday night when Travis Kelsey wasn't in there.
02:25 It left a blank space.
02:27 But I think he returns today and proves to be the anti-hero.
02:30 I'm with you.
02:31 Hard to pick the Chiefs to lose to.
02:32 Never out of style putting on the lone wolf hat.
02:37 All right, there are the Chiefs.
02:39 Kelsey coming out.
02:40 August is over.
02:43 Now September."
02:45 After Rich shared the mashup of his playful puns to Instagram, Travis couldn't help
02:50 but applaud his efforts, commenting, "Well played Rich.
02:54 Well played," along with clapping and laughing emojis.

03:04 not yet heard back.
