Travis Kelce asked if he's 'in love' with Taylor Swift, addresses relationship 'status'

Travis Kelce still isn’t confirming whether he’s dating Taylor Swift.

The pair has been spotted holding hands, and, after a recent game, Swift was photographed kissing Kelce on the cheek.

It is all but official, and because nothing has been formally announced, a reporter asked Kelce what their “latest status” was.

Kelce was characteristically vague on the subject.

“The latest status is I got to see her last week,” he said during a press conference in Germany Friday.

But the reporter bumped it up a notch, asking the Kansas City Chiefs tight end if he was “in love.”

No bite.

“I’m going to keep my personal relationship personal,” he said.

It’s also become apparent that when Swift is at a Chiefs game, Kelce makes fantasy owners very happy — or upset if you’re going against him.

In the three games Kelce has played that Swift has missed, the tight end has just 151 receiving yards, about 50 a game. In the four she’s attended, he’s averaging 108 yards per game. The last two games Swift attended, she saw Kelce catch 21 passes for 303 yards and a touchdown.

It’s a trend that’s become noticeable, especially in the gambling world. That’s why Kelce keeps silent on whether his rumored girlfriend will be attending games.

“When I mention or everybody knows that she’s at the game, the Vegas, the over/under on my catches kind of goes up and down, the spread goes up and down. I don’t want to mess with any of that stuff, so I’m just going to keep it to myself,” he said.

The Chiefs are in Germany this weekend to face the Miami Dolphins. It’s unlikely Swift will be in attendance since she will go international with her Eras Tour in Argentina Nov. 9.

It will be the second NFL game played in Germany.

Fetterman addresses stroke, targets Dr. Oz at Pittsburgh rally: 'Every now and then I might miss a word'

Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman used his stroke recovery to target his Republican opponent during a rally Saturday, joking that he has an excuse for his verbal mix-ups while mocking Dr. Mehmet Oz’s viral mispronunciation of a grocery store chain.

“As you know, I had a stroke,” Fetterman told a crowd in Pittsburgh during a rally. “Oh and I’m so grateful to be here today now after surviving that better and better, you know?”

Fetterman, the current lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, has taken criticism for not being open about his health since his May stroke, which occurred days before he handily won the Democratic nomination for Senate. Oz and others have raised questions about whether the 52-year-old former mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, is up to the task of serving in the Senate. 

“You know, the only lingering issue that I have after that stroke is sometimes auditory processing, sometimes. And, every now and then, I might miss a word or, sometimes, you know, I might mush two words together,” Fetterman said before bringing up a video of Oz that his campaign has mocked all summer.

JOHN FETTERMAN WIPES BLACK LIVES MATTER SECTION FROM CAMPAIGN SITE AMID ATTACKS OVER CRIME

“Let me give you an example. OK, now imagine, let’s assume, I maybe want to go shopping at Wegmans, and I’m actually standing in a Redner’s, but I actually think I’m shopping in Wegner’s. That’s what it’s like to kind of mush two words together, but something that doesn’t really exist. Thank you, Dr. Oz, for that,” Fetterman said.

FOX NEWS POLL: PENNSYLVANIA SENATE RACE NARROWS

In a now-famous video — which Oz tweeted in early April, before the Pennsylvania primaries and before Fetterman’s stroke — Oz can be seen in a grocery store lambasting inflation and the high cost of vegetables that he said he needed for a crudité platter. 

Fetterman’s campaign circulated the video this summer, frequently using it to paint Oz as out of touch for using the word crudité instead of the more common phrase “veggie tray.” Fetterman’s campaign even sells campaign merchandise based on the incident. Fetterman said Saturday he needed to look up the word when he first saw the video.

“How many of you, how many have you ever heard the word crudités? Anyone? Anyone ever heard it?” Fetterman said. “I actually thought it was about my stroke. … I had to Google it to find out what it is.”

DR. OZ DOUBLES DOWN IN PENNSYLVANIA SENATE FIGHT, SAYS FETTERMAN IS SCARED TO DEBATE OR IS LYING ABOUT HEALTH

After Fetterman said he would not participate in an early September debate due to his continued stroke recovery, Oz accused his opponent of being in too poor health to serve in the Senate or too scared to present his views to voters. The pair have agreed to one debate, scheduled weeks before the Nov. 8 midterm election.

“John Fetterman has been ducking, dodging these debates, which is insulting to the voters of Pennsylvania,” Oz told Fox News Digital last month. “And he has to own the reasons for his desire to avoid a debate with me. Either he’s healthy, which he says he is, and doesn’t want to answer for his radical positions in past statements, or he’s lying about his health. Either way, the voters of Pennsylvania deserve an answer, and I think they deserve that answer pretty quickly, since the absentee ballots will be mailed out in the next two to three weeks.”

Fetterman has attempted to brush off criticism of his health as unfair and out of place for a physician.

“Dr. Oz never stops reminding everybody that I had a stroke. Yeah. In fact, I’m sure there’s probably at least one person here that are filming it. Trying to have me miss some words on video. What an inspiring campaign for you. Dr. Oz,” Fetterman said Saturday.

The Senate race in Pennsylvania has tightened considerably in the past few weeks after Fetterman appeared the favorite earlier in the summer, according to public opinion polls. A Fox News poll released Wednesday showed Fetterman ahead of Oz by 45%-41%. A four-point edge is within the poll’s margin of sampling error and down from an 11-point advantage in late July.

This week, Fetterman has put out several fundraising calls warning that Oz was closing in on him in the polls. 

“Dr. Oz is catching up to me in the polls. Seriously, he’s only three points behind within the margin of error,” Fetterman tweeted Saturday.

Cowboys' Dak Prescott addresses thumb injury: 'I’m sure I’ll come out of this better'

Dak Prescott suffered a thumb injury in the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday and is expected to be out for multiple weeks.

It will be the second time in his career that Prescott will miss significant time as he suffered a gruesome ankle injury during the 2020 season. After the 19-3 loss, Prescott addressed reporters with a cast on his right hand. He was diagnosed with a fractured right thumb.

“Yeah, it’s very disappointing, but injuries happen. Can’t necessarily control it. Just unfortunate. I’m obviously going to miss some time, not be there for my team. That’s what hurts more than anything, especially after the start that we just put out there,” Prescott said, via Pro Football Talk. 

“I wanted to be able to respond and not necessarily having that opportunity for several weeks. Yeah, it’s unfortunate, but I’ll do what I’ve always done anytime adversity comes. Take it on head first, and I’ll give my best, and I’m sure I’ll come out of this better.”

BUCCANEERS’ MIKE EVANS MAKES RIDICULOUS ONE-HANDED TOUCHDOWN CATCH AGAINST COWBOYS

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the injury was not season-ending, but he’ll miss a few games.

Prescott said he thought he “jammed” the thumb when he suffered the injury with about 6 minutes remaining in the game.

“I mean, I’ve hit on however many bodies, a lot in my career, and never really had anything [except] maybe a jammed finger, and I actually thought that’s what it was,” he said. “The next play I realized I couldn’t grip the ball, let the sideline know. Then, when I got off, I told the trainers the same thing. I said, ‘I can’t grip it. I feel like if you yank it, I’ll be OK,’ and I came in and got X-rays and things were different.”

Dallas was dealing with offensive line issues all night. The Cowboys lost Tyron Smith in training camp and moved rookie Tyler Smith from guard to tackle ahead of the opener.
