Taylor Swift might be placing Travis Kelce’s name on her ‘Blank Space’ soon. The singer-songwriter and Kansas City Chiefs football player have sparked dating rumors recently, generating buzz not only in the music industry but also in the sports world. The ‘Shake it Off’ singer recently stunned the world with her highly successful The Eras tour. But more than her professional life, her personal life remains under the constant scrutiny of the paparazzi.

While the entire world was fixated on her dating life, Travis Kelce’s brother also had a few words to add. The NFL center joked about how their recognition has significantly increased since the dating news came out.

While celebrating their New Heights podcast topping various platforms, Jason Kelce playfully teased his baby brother that this happened because of the “Taylor effect.” The Philadelphia Eagles star further said, “We are officially on the map. Both Travis and I have officially been put on the map,” giving credit to the ‘Reputation’ singer for the huge uplift in viewership. The Kansas City Chiefs player, who could hardly contain his laughter, replied, “Just when you think you’ve been skatin’ away from it.”

The brothers’ joke comes after reality TV star Bethenny Frankel jokingly suggested that the Kansas City Chiefs’ newfound recognition had been “put on the map” because of the ‘Shake It Off’ singer. The former Real Housewives of New York City star further added that she had never even heard Kelce’s name, despite him being one of the best players in NFL history. However, she subsequently said that she was just teasing her followers and, in reality, was aware of who he was.
