Rumors that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop star Taylor Swift are seeing each other didn’t get by CBS sportscaster Ian Eagle on Sunday. (Watch the video below.)
After Kelce caught his first touchdown reception of the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Eagle went all-in on the scuttlebutt.
“Kelce finds a blank space for the score,” Eagle proclaimed.
Swifties complimented Eagle for working in the title of Swift’s 2014 hit song “Blank Space.”
Your favorite duo is back at it again 😉@PatrickMahomes x @TKelce pic.twitter.com/7MdgHozbcV

Hey, while you’re at it, Ian, when Kelce makes a mistake you might as well tell him to “shake it off.”
Anyway, fans dug the good-natured teasing during the Chiefs’ victory.
“Ian Eagle, Swiftie confirmed,” one wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Here are a few more responses:

Ian Eagle saying “Kelce finds a blank space for a score” will have all the Swifties in their feels.
