The NFL star celebrated with a dance, while Swift, also 33, was seen jumping up and down and enthusiastically cheering and clapping in his suite.

Rumors have swirled the last few weeks that the “Anti-Hero"singer and the two-time Super Bowl champion are dating, and were brought to a furor on Sunday with Swift at his game. The superstar was frequentlyshown chatting and laughing with his mom, Donna Kelce, and cheering while decked out in a red-and-white Chiefs jacket.

Representatives for Swift and Kelce have not responded to recent requests for comment from PEOPLE.
Kelce addressed the buzz for the first timeon Thursday, telling Pat McAfee during an appearance onThe Pat McAfee Showthat he recently “threw the ball in her court.”
The tight end said he told Swift, “I’ve seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead [Stadium]. You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit,” before adding to McAfee, “we’ll see what happens in the near future.”
That near future turned out to be three days later, when Swift was spotted in his suite.

But Kelce — who had hoped to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his number on it, said he was out of luck.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Kelce explained, while adding that he was “a little butthurt” that he was unable to execute his plan at the time.
