Dave Portnoy Suggests Travis Kelce’s Friend is Dating One of Taylor Swift’s Tour Backup Dancers

Travis Kelce’s close friend Ross Travis could be dating one of Taylor Swift’s backing dancers, according to Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.

Portnoy attended one of Swift’s huge Eras Tour shows in Miami last week and appeared on the podcast ‘Taylor Watch’ to reflect on his experience.

He told hosts Gia Mariano and Kelly Keegs that he met Kelce’s friend Ross – a former NFL player – in the VIP section at Hard Rock Stadium.

‘I didn’t know Ross, he was there,’ Portnoy said. ‘I didn’t know who he was. People are freaking out about that. 

‘I asked him if he had been at a show before, he was like “14”. I think he came alone.’

Keegs replied: ‘So the rumors are that he may or may not be dating one of the dancers. But we don’t know exactly who.’

Portnoy responded: ‘I would guess he is because why else would you show up alone? 

‘I mean, I get you like Taylor Swift but you’ve seen her 14 times and you show up alone in Miami? (It would be) A little weird, so yeah that may be it.’

Keegs continued: ‘He’s always with Travis (Kelce) but for him to show up without Travis being there… there’s another reason he’s there.’

Ross Travis was spotted at the second show of the songstress’s Miami stint in a ‘Tortured Poets Department’ hoodie from Swift’s official merchandise. 

He also joined Kelce on his trip Down Under in February where they enjoyed the singer’s show in Sydney. 

‘I understand now…’ Kelce’s friend wrote on an Instagram story following the concert. ‘That. Was. Amazing.’ 

During his own career in football, Travis played for the Chiefs and also had spells at the Indianapolis Colts and New York Jets. 

Portnoy himself also received a handwritten letter from Swift thanking him for his support of her over the year.
