00:00 I don't know. We wasn't sure if you knew Taylor Swift.
00:02 I know who Taylor Swift is.
00:04 Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's rumored romance is sweeping the nation
00:08 and the nation's capital.
00:09 During a press briefing on October 5th with White House Press Secretary
00:14 Kareem Jean-Pierre and National Security Council spokesman John Kirby,
00:19 reporters jokingly questioned them about the topic dividing the country.
00:24 If the songstress and the NFL player are the real deal.
00:28 All right. Apparently she's dating a football player.
00:30 Yes.
00:38 The relationship?
00:46 I, you know, in the vernacular of the National Security Council,
00:51 I can neither confirm nor deny those reports.
00:56 I will happily take the question back to our analysts.
00:58 The internet is still reeling over Taylor's back-to-back appearances at Travis's last
01:03 two games with the Kansas City Chiefs, where she's been seen cheering him on with everyone
01:08 from his mom, Donna Kelsey, to her own A-list squad, including pals Blake Lively,
01:14 Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, and more.
01:16 A few days after the first game, Travis spoke about Taylor on his and Jason's podcast, New Heights.
01:23 Shout out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy. That was pretty ballsy.
01:27 I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but
01:32 great things to say about her. You know, the friends and family,
01:35 she looked amazing. Everybody was talking about her in great light. And on top of that,
01:39 you know, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans, of course.
01:44 We scripted it all, ladies and gentlemen. It was just impressive. It was impressive.
01:50 To see the slow-motion chest bumps, to see the high-fives with mom, to see how, you know,
01:58 Chiefs' kingdom was all excited that she was there, that s--- was absolutely hysterical. And it was
02:03 definitely a game I'll remember. That's for damn sure.
02:05 The pair have yet to confirm the status of their relationship publicly,
02:09 but Donna joined today on October 6th and opened up about her new connection with the Grammy winner.
02:16 You know, it's fairly new, so I don't like to talk about it. It's just one of those things where,
02:22 you know, obviously everybody saw me. I was in the boxes with her. And yeah, it's just,
02:28 you know, another thing that's amped up my life.
02:32 Yeah. What was she like? What was it? I mean, so you got to know her a little bit.
02:36 Got to see her at a couple games. How was it?
02:38 It was okay. Yeah.
02:42 We both met her and we've always sort of just been delighted by her way.
02:46 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
02:49 Did you, did Travis say, "Mom, if you get on the Today Show and start spilling the beans,
02:54 you get a little warning?"
02:56 It's not so much a warning. It's his personal life.
03:00 Yeah.
03:00 And, you know, I'll talk about my life and when the kids were little and I was with them.
03:04 But, you know, they're men now.
03:06 Yeah.
03:06 They're grown.
03:07 And they've got their own lives. And there isn't a man alive that's going to talk to their mom
03:11 about their personal life. It's just not going to happen.
03:22 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
