It appeared that Kelce was about to say Swift when the interviewer interrupted, “Don’t give us the easy answer. Don’t give us the easy answer, Trav!”

“The easy answer is –– you guys know the easy answer, you guys know the easy answer,” the NFL star said while smiling.

Kelce then named Justin Timberlake instead, calling the *NSYNC member “the realest.”

When asked to call Timberlake right then and there, though, the football player shook his head and quickly replied, “Not a chance.”

6Travis Kelce joked Taylor Swift is the “most famous person” in his phone’s contacts.The Kansas City Chiefs player had to think for a second before joking that fans “know the easy answer.”Kelce eventually revealed that he has Justin Timberlake’s number.

“I appreciate you, Justin, but I know he’s a busy man,” he added.

While Swift and Kelce, both 34, have kept quiet about many details of their relationship, he previously shared how she got his phone number before they started dating last summer.

The Super Bowl champion teased in November that he and the Grammy winner had a mutual friend “playing Cupid” who encouraged Swift to text him after she brought her blockbuster Eras Tour to his home stadium last July.

“There were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner [who said]: ‘Yo! Did you know he was coming?’,” he told WSJ. Magazine.

Kelce wasn’t aware at the time who the “Cupid” was or that they were encouraging Swift to reach out until she texted him one day.

“She told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out,” he shared.

The couple still have yet to divulge who the mystery matchmaker was, but some fans have theorized it was Jason Sudeikis because of his ties to both Swift and his hometown of Kansas City, Mo.

Swift recently spent the holidays with Kelce at his home in Kansas City, Mo.

The “Anti-Hero” songstress and the athlete have been going strong ever since while publicly supporting each other.

They reached a milestone in their relationship last month when they spent the holidays together with her family and his dad.

The duo haven’t been spotted together since packing on the PDA on New Year’s Eve, but Kelce is been busy prepping for the playoffs while Swift began her awards show circuit at the 2024 Golden Globes Sunday.
