The Kansas City Chiefs tight end stopped short of naming his girlfriend Taylor Swift, before shouting out another pop star

Travis Kelce has a famous pop singer’s name in his contacts — and it’s not the first one who comes to mind!

In an interview on the Kansas City Chiefs’ TikTok, the tight end shared the name of the celebrity, while joking he wasn’t going to give “the easy answer,” which would be his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

“The easy answer? You guys know the easy answer,” the 34-year-old athlete, dressed for the winter weather, wearing a beanie and puffer coat, said, while giving a sly smile to the camera.

The interviewer gave him an out, telling Kelce that he didn’t need to give the “easy answer,” so the NFL star then offered up: “J.T., Justin Timberlake.”

But when he was asked if he called the singer “right now,” would “Cry Me a River” crooner pick up?

“No, not a chance,” Kelce said. “And I know you, and I appreciate you, Justin. But he’s a busy man, he’s a busy man.”

The NFL star has also been keeping busy this season, whether he’s been setting franchise records or stepping out with the “Lavender Haze” singer, whom he began seeing last summer.

The New Heights podcaster and the Grammy winner were both in Los Angeles over the weekend — with the Chiefs playing the Rams and Swift attending the Golden Globes — as they both gear up for an eventful 2024.

On Saturday night, the Chiefs will take on the Miami Dolphins at Arrowhead Stadium in the first round of the playoffs.

Meanwhile, Swift’s Eras Tour is set to pick back up in Japan next month.

But on New Year’s Eve, the couple made time for one another.

The Midnights singer, 34, cheered on her boyfriend at the game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Kansas City before they went on to celebrate at a party where the two shared a midnight kiss, as seen in widely circulated fan videos.
