Taylor Swift and American football player Travis Kelce were "set up" by his head coach Andy Reid, who joked during a press conference about playing matchmaker.
The Love Story singer, 33, sparked rumours of a new romance after watching the NFL game on Sunday between the Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs, cheering from a suite inside Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City in the US alongside Kelce's mother, Donna.
Swift and Kelce stepped out together after Kelce’s team secured the win, a moment captured on a video which went viral.
Kansas City Chiefs head coach said about the rumoured relationship during a press conference: "I met her before – I set them up."

The viral video of Swift and Kelce was captured by US journalist and former American football player Jarrett Payton and posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, captioning it: "Talk about being at the right place at the right time! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce leaving Arrowhead together after the game."
Earlier this year, singer-songwriter Swift split from British actor Joe Alwyn after six years together.
Alwyn, who gained recognition after starring in the 2016 war drama Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, worked with Swift on her surprise eighth studio album Folklore, writing under the pseudonym William Bowery, and co-wrote a number of songs on the follow-up sister album, Evermore.
Swift recently dominated at the MTV Video Music Awards, taking home nine trophies including the evening's top prize – Video of the Year – for her Midnights album track Anti-Hero.
