How Ian Eagle called Travis Kelce's "Blank Space" TD amid Taylor Swift dating rumors

Travis Kelce blank space in the end zone does this come off the top of the head is this something that you think about before going into a broadcasts so the timing of that they're playing Jacksonville that's the week that rumors surfaced that Kelsey and Taylor Swift might be seeing one another might be the early stages of a relationship but it was not full-blown at that point by any stretch there were no Taylor Swift sightings if anything they were just talking at that point at least publicly so I thought to myself all right if something happens here with Kelsey I might be able to slip something in that enough of the audience will get I I certainly did not think that it was going to connect in that manner and to be perfectly honest the way in which I delivered it on the touchdown that was only based on if Travis Kelsey scored a touchdown and it's in the flow of the action I did not have a specific line picked out I just knew and was cognizant that there might be an opening so I go for it I bake it into the call so I didn't make it seem as if it was something completely different if you are not familiar with Taylor Swift and you heard that touchdown call I don't think you would even question it it just would be part of the call so my phone starts buzzing very rapidly after the call and Charles Davis gives me a high five Charles is a bigger Swifty than I am he had seen her in concert that summer but that was it we said nothing else and I just see the text messages rolling in Rolling In rolling in and I'm not talking about oh I got 10 text mess I'm talking about hundred I thought to myself what is going on now I'm still locked in you're calling the rest of the game so game ends we get in the car we head over to the airport we had some time to kill and we ended up going into the airport club together as a group our production team and somebody on on our team at that point is on their phone and looks up and he says I am I said yeah goes you're on TMZ I said what I I quickly scroll over the call is on TMZ and then the thing just exploded Adam schfer tweeted it and I think that got the ball rolling as well and then it was Unreal the next few days there were pictures I could send you a picture that I have saved on my phone of Kelsey and Swift and me in the middle I found it to be among the most comical things that have ever happened in my life it's it's pretty pretty bizarre and and hilarious and then obviously the relationship really did take off of course so I I like to think that uh you manifested it I played yeah I played a a rather small role in in this Union
