Rumors have been swirling about Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift, and EVERYONE is getting in on the fun.
During the Chiefs' game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, CBS announcer Ian Eagle even used one of the Grammy winner's songs to celebrate Kelce's first touchdown of the game.
In breaking down the pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Eagle nonchalantly dropped a hit title:
“Kelce finds a blank space for the score."
You can listen below.
And while Eagle's reference was mentioned ever so subtly, it certainly did not get past the Swifties.
\u201cKelce find a Blank Space in the end zone and scores!\u201d\n\nIan Eagle, Swiftie confirmed \ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffc\ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffc— Brooke Pryor (@Brooke Pryor) 1694976653
@Chiefs @PatrickMahomes @tkelce Ain't no way "finds the blank space" wasn't intentional— Nikolai Williams (@Nikolai Williams) 1694976640
Kelce gets his first TD of the year and they drop a T Swift reference with no hesitation \ud83d\ude02 Let this man live \ud83d\ude02— Conner M ~ CadilacGames (@Conner M ~ CadilacGames) 1694976725

Ian Eagle: \u201cKelce finds a blank space.\u201d\n\ud83d\udc40 what he did there?— Duff Tyler (@Duff Tyler) 1694976742
As much as I hate it, oh my god, Ian Eagle saying that Travis Kelce found a blank space for the score is one of the greatest touchdown calls of all time— JaguarGator9 (@JaguarGator9) 1694976569
Kelce previously opened up about trying to shoot his shot with Swift after attending her 'Eras Tour' in July in Kansas City. He'd even created a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it.
He admitted he was "a little butthurt" when Swift wasn't able to chat with him after the show or accept one of his bracelets. But, if rumors are to be believed, he may have gotten his chance after all.
In the meantime, well played, Ian Eagle.
