CBS Announcer Has Fun With Rumored Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce probably knew he would get a lot of kidding when he revealed that he tried to give Taylor Swift a friendship braclet with his phone number on it when he attended her Kansas City concert.

But he probably didn’t think that the alleged romance – which hasn’t been confirmed by either party — would be used as a reference in an NFL broadcast.

Today, when Kelce scored a nine-yard touchdown in the second half of the Chiefs game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, CBS announcer Ian Eagle had some fun.

“Kelce finds a blank space for the score,” Eagle said, a reference to Swift’s song, “Blank Space.”

But there was still a lot of football left to play in the game, so Kelce had time to Shake It Off.
