Sales spiked on the same day that Swift was spotted in Kansas City, watching the Chiefs play the Chicago Bears alongside Kelce鈥檚 mother, Donna, from one of the football stadium鈥檚 glass-enclosed suites.

Kelce did not speak to reporters afterward, but he was spotted leaving Arrowhead with Swift by his side.

Swift has always been reluctant to discuss her personal life in public, but rumors have been flying about the popstar and the pro football player in recent months 鈥 notably after a July episode of Kelce鈥檚 鈥淣ew Heights鈥 podcast, when he said he was disappointed that he didn鈥檛 get to meet Swift and gift her a friendship bracelet during Kansas City stop on her Eras Tour.
