"Taylor and Travis have been quietly hanging out," the source said. "She saw him when she was in NYC a few weeks ago."
The Messenger has reached out to reps for Swift and Kelce for comment.
In July, Kelce tried — and failed — to pass his phone number to Swift ahead of a stop on the singer's record-breaking Eras Tour.
During an episode of the New Heights podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said he made a bracelet for the show with the digits of his phone number on the beads.
The two-time Super Bowl champ wanted to gift the homemade jewelry to the pop star ahead of her Kansas City show at Arrowhead Stadium in July, but unfortunately for him, Swift didn't take the bait.
"I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings, so I was a little butthurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her," Kelce explained on the podcast.
As his brother laughed, Kelce added, "She doesn't meet anybody — or at least she didn't want to meet me, so I took it personal, but it was an unbelievable show."
The pairing comes after Swift and Matty Healy's whirlwind romance came to an end in June after weeks of dating.
"It was a whirlwind romance but Taylor and Matty are now not together. Taylor broke it off with him, and it happened fast," a source told The Messenger at the time. "They had a lot of fun together, and it moved really quickly, but ultimately Taylor wanted to move on and be single."
Swift was linked to Healy in May after she and longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn broke up in April. The 12-time Grammy winner is releasing 1989 (Taylor's Version) on Oct. 27.

Its both...
A) a harmless and fun distraction that makes our boy happy
and
B) it elevates our presence worldwide, they're hotter than Harry and Megan
There is nothing wrong with being a swiftie and I wasn't implying anything negative. Maybe, it's akin to being a rocker or a dead head.

Does it matter to me on a personal level who he dates? No, not really. But it's pretty clear to me that Travis loves attention and would love to be a superstar once he retires. Taylor elevates his profile in a way that would bring him opportunities he might not have otherwise, not only because of her notoriety, but because she's clearly extremely savvy on how to generate buzz and build an audience. I think it's great that he might find someone who he respects as an entertainer but he can also learn from (and I like to think she can learn some things from him as well).
Combine that with the fact that Taylor is absolutely, 100% bringing new fans into Chiefs Kingdom - many of whom are making their dads and husbands miserable because they're now rooting for the Chiefs instead of their own team - and it's hard to look at this as anything but a great thing for the Chiefs. Will it all fall apart if things don't work out between them? Sure, maybe. But for now, it's adding an interesting element to a season that's otherwise mostly just a lot of waiting until January for things to get interesting.
So, am I a "Swiftie"? I don't really identify as such, but maybe. I mostly just think it's a fun element, and as long as they're having fun with it, I'm here for it.

Good take and well written out.
For some reason I can’t see Swiftie fans standing outside of a concert trying to get Miracle tickets before a concert. [Reply]
