Travis Kelce declined to discuss Taylor Swift’s status for Sunday’s game in Germany and their status as a couple.
The Chiefs tight end spoke at a press conference on Friday but wouldn’t say whether the pop star plans to attend the game against the Miami Dolphins at Deutsche Bank Park.
“When I mention or everybody knows that she’s at the game, the Vegas, the over under on my catches kind of goes up and down, the spread goes up and down,” Kelce joked. “I don’t want to mess with any of that stuff, so I’m just going to keep it to myself.”
The Chiefs arrived in Germany on Friday morning and practiced at the campus of the German national soccer team in Frankfurt.
Kelce was asked about his relationship status and if he’s “in love” – which drew oohs and chuckles. “The latest status is I got to see her last week,” he good-naturedly replied.
The reporter repeated the question, but Kelce remained coy. “I’m going to keep my personal relationship personal,” he said.
Swift is scheduled to resume her Eras Tour on Thursday in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She has three shows at Estadio River Plate followed by six dates in two cities in Brazil later this month.
She was not at the Chiefs game in Denver last week, which they lost to the Broncos.
Kelce has had impressive performances in the games Swift has attended, averaging 108 yards receiving. In the games she did not attend, he had less than half that yardage.
The tight end had a standout game two weeks ago with 12 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown. Swift was seen dancing with Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, in an Arrowhead Stadium suite during that game.
“I think it’s pretty much a coincidence,” Kelce said about his performances with Swift present. “I’ve had some pretty big games in my career.”
Swift has never performed at Deutsche Bank Park, but her tour next July includes seven shows scheduled in three German cities.
