Give this NFL announcer an extra point!
Sportscaster Ian Eagle provided additional entertainment Sunday by subtly referencing football player Travis Kelce’s rumored romance with singer Taylor Swift during a game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Kansas City Chiefs.
In the third quarter of the game, Kansas City tight end Kelce scored a touchdown after receiving a pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
“Landing, Travis Kelce!” Eagle he exclaimed as Kelce and his teammates celebrated in the end zone. “Kelce finds a blank space for the score”.
It seemed as if Eagle had the clever reference to Swift’s “Blank Space” locked and loaded for the perfect moment, and amateurs were eating it in social media.
The Kansas City-Jacksonville game aired less than a week after Travis Kelce’s brother and football teammate, Jason Kelce, was asked during a post-game interview about the gossip surrounding his brother and the recording artist. “1989”.
“I’ve seen the rumors,” Jason Kelce said with a smile, “I can’t comment.”
“Since then [Travis Kelce’s 2016 reality dating show] ‘Catching Kelce,’ everyone has fallen in love with Travis’ love life,” he added. “I really don’t know what’s going on there. I know Trav is having fun.”
Romance rumors began circulating after Travis Kelce lamented on a July episode of his podcast about not being able to meet Swift while attending one of her Eras tour shows.
“I was disappointed that he didn’t speak before or after his shows because he has to save his voice for the 44 songs he sings,” Travis Kelce said.
“It hurt me a little not to be able to give her one of the bracelets I made her.”
