Few things enrapture football and music fans of a certain disposition quite like Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, one of the world's most high-profile couples.
The NFL season is fast approaching. With supporters looking to quench their insatiable need for football and celebrity content, the Chiefs star and music mogul have once more taken their place under the spotlight.
The latest buzz around Kelce and Swift's famous courtship revolves around Kansas City's tight end's potential involvement in Swift's latest music video, attached to the track "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."

The video, released on Aug. 20, features Swift practicing choreography for her vaunted Eras Tour. Kelce is rumored to take part in the festivities, allegedly lending support while sitting in the background of one shot in the video.
Blurry clips were scattered all across X, the website formerly known as Twitter, with many Swift supporters claiming the bearded man who appeared to be watching on as Swift and her dancers pranced across a makeshift stage was indeed Kelce himself.
Is it true? You be the judge.

Kelce has increased his presence at Swift's shows in recent months — even going from purely a spectator to a member of the spectacle. The 34-year old pass-catcher made his on-stage debut during one of Swift's shows at Wembley back in June.
A spot in a music video — one that will be replayed over and over until time immemorial — would represent a major step up for Kelce and Swift's relationship.
Then again, they've been dating for about a year at this point. Given Swift's musical stylings and Kelce's flair for the dramatic, a spot in Swift's video doesn't feel all that far-fetched.
Perhaps we'll get a little more context regarding the Zapruder film-like images rumored to be Kelce on his "New Heights" podcast with brother Jason.

Did Taylor Swift change 'So Long, London' lyric for Travis Kelce?
If Kelce did indeed take part in Swift's music video, she surely had to return the favor, right?
Swift stans seem to think so, drawing an interesting conclusion after analyzing some of the lyrics their beloved icon crooned at her most recent showing at Wembley.

While signing "So Long, London", a track rumored to revolve around her breakup with English actor Joe Alwyn, Swift opted to switch up some lyrics. Instead of singing, "You'll find someone," in the closing line of the song, Swift changed the lyric to, "I'll find someone," a swap that had masses of fans thinking she was talking about Kelce.
Suffice to say, that section of the internet exploded once Swift's live performance hit the airwaves.
