Travis Kelce's 'Day 13' Presser: Secret Swiftie Code or Coincidence?

Travis Kelce addressed reporters at the Kansas City Chiefs' training camp on Wednesday

TRAVIS KELCE'S SECRET LOVE FOR TAYLOR SWIFT EXPOSED: FANS GO WILD AS STAR QB MAKES SUBTLE NOD TO 'ANTI-HERO' SENSATION

The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for another shot at the Super Bowl, but it's not just their tight end Travis Kelce who's got everyone talking. As training camp heats up, Swifties have been busy connecting the dots between Kelce and his pop sensation girlfriend Taylor Swift.

And let's be real, they've found some pretty convincing evidence to support their theories. When Kelce finally broke his silence on Wednesday, coincidentally on the 13th day of camp, fans were quick to point out that 13 is Swift's favorite number. Talk about a clever connection!

The press conference came on the 13th day of camp, which is Taylor Swift's favorite number

"Someone in Kansas City needs a raise!" quipped one social media user, poking fun at the Chiefs' media team for somehow scheduling Kelce's press conference on Day 13. "You're telling me that Travis Kelce hasn't spoken to the media all Training Camp, but his first time just HAPPENS to fall on Day 13? The Swifties have fully infiltrated the Chiefs media team!"

But it gets even juicier! As Kelce dodged questions about his famous girlfriend, he couldn't help but praise his quarterback and close friend Patrick Mahomes. And let's just say that some fans are convinced that he was throwing shade at Taylor.

"It seems like [Mahomes] is always a step ahead," Kelce said with a sly grin. "His arm is alive right now. It's fun to see him know the play, know where he's going before the snap happens." Sounds familiar? That's because it's eerily reminiscent of Swift's 2012 hit single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" – or more specifically, her latest album "Midnights" and its themes of love, heartbreak, and moving on.

But don't just take our word for it! Here are some quotes from Kelce that have fans convinced he was making a subtle nod to Taylor:

"I've been lucky to be here for my 13th year now. I just absolutely love this organization. I love the team, I love the coaches."

Translation: He's as obsessed with Taylor as she is with him?

"I know just about every defensive coach, as well as all the offensive coaches and vice versa with the players and the staff in the equipment room. I have fun coming into work every single day."

Gosh, it sounds like he's talking about his love life!

"I love it here," Kelce gushed of training camp at Missouri Western University. "It gets me away from everything else that's going on in this crazy world. You can really just focus in on your craft and focus in on being the best you can for the guys around you, man."

Swifties were quick to connect the dots as many on social media claimed it was intentional

Yawn... or is he talking about how Taylor inspires him to be his best self?

Football has always been the biggest driving force I've ever had," Kelce confessed. "I love coming out here and focusing on this and getting better for another run at hopefully a Super Bowl."

But what's really got everyone talking is the fact that Kelce seems to have developed a taste for Swift's music, specifically her 2008 hit single "Fearless" (which just so happens to be his quarterback Patrick Mahomes' nickname). Who knew being an NFL star was all about living on the edge... and loving Taylor Swift?
