“She looked amazing and everybody was talking about her in great light,” he said. “To see the slow motion chest bumps, to see the high fives with mom, to see how you know Chiefs kingdom was all excited that she was there, that s— was absolutely hysterical and it was definitely a game I’ll remember that’s for damn sure and then we just slid off in the getaway car at the end.”
The two-time Super Bowl champion admitted in July that he’d tried to slip Swift his phone number after seeing her in concert, but had struck out. The two did make contact eventually, though, and Kelce later said he invited the “Karma” singer to see him play.
Despite the public spectacle, asource recently told PEOPLEthat the two are “still just getting to know each other.”
“He is a charming guy. It’s more of a hanging out situation than dating,” the insider says, noting that during the NFL season, Kelce’s priority “is the Chiefs, and it’s all about the team.”
