The Taylor Swift–Travis Kelce romance has got the world in the palm of its hand. After making an appearance during the Kansas City Chiefs-Chicago Bears game in week 3, their dating rumors have been all over the news. Everyone is talking about it. And why not? When you have two superstars from their respective fields going out in public, there will be buzz surrounding the relationship.

During a recent edition of the First Take show on ESPN, analyst Stephen A. Smith and host Molly Qerim got into a friendly banter over the rumored high-profile couple. The debate started with the panel discussing if Kelce is a more dangerous pass catcher than the electric Miami Dolphins wideout, Tyreek Hill. It took a rather interesting turn when Qerim brought Taylor Swift into the discussion.

Analyst Dan Orlovsky said, “The most dangerous pass catcher is Travis Kelce.” That garnered a response from Qerim, who said, “Maybe Taylor [Swift] is motivating him.” Smith was quick to chime in by saying, “Well, I’m quite sure she is. Let’s get that out the way.” The tone Smith used was a bit interesting, and that did not go unnoticed by Qerim. “The voice is unnecessary,” Qerim jokingly said.

It was all in good fun, but there have been rumors of Smith and Qerim dating each other. Maybe it’s this kind of chemistry that has generated those rumors.

Swift attended the Chiefs’ recent game against the Los Angeles Chargers at the Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. Kelce, in the presence of his girlfriend, went off on the Chargers. He finished the game with 12 receptions for 172 yards and one touchdown. The Chiefs pulled off an impressive 31-17 win and are 6-1 through seven weeks of the season.

The Chiefs have now improved to 6-1 and are looking on course to repeat as Super Bowl champions this season. They beat their division rivals, the Chargers on Sunday and will play the Denver Broncos in their next game on Sunday.
