There have been rumors circulating about Taylor Swift and Dancing With the Stars for years.
And this year, they’ve hit a fever pitch as the dance pros prepare for season 34 of the popular dancing competition on ABC.
Last year, the show had A Celebration of Taylor Swift, in which all of the contestants performed dances to her hit songs.
And now DWTS pro Jenna Johnson has revealed another way that Swift, 35, could be involved in the upcoming season.
While appearing on the Call It What It Is podcast this week, Johnson said that she would ‘love’ to get a football player for a partner this go around.
And she has one particular football player in mind that could easily draw Taylor to the ballroom to cheer him on: Jason Kelce, 37, who is her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s, 35, older brother.

Traditionally, football players have done very well on the show with Emmitt Smith, Hines Ward, Rashad Jennings and Donald Driver all taking home the mirrorball trophy, while six other NFL players have finished in second or third place.
‘I have not had a football player, and I think that they’re just so incredible on the show,’ Johnson said.

‘They understand that work ethic and the time and effort that goes into being great. So I think they always do really well on the show.
‘I haven’t had one of those yet. Jason Kelce, I just keep throwing his name out because I think he would be so fun.’
Twenty-four football players have competed 25 times on DWTS – Emmit was on the show twice.
But Jenna is gunning for Kelce as her partner for the upcoming 34th season of Dancing With the Stars.
‘I just think he has the vibe where he doesn’t take things too seriously. I think he would be down to rip off his shirt,’ she added with a laugh.

Jason previously expressed interest in being on Dancing With the Stars in 2024 following his retirement from the Philadelphia Eagles and the NFL.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Swift is showing her commitment to boyfriend Travis and their future with a significant move.
The singer is staying in Florida with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end as he trains for the upcoming NFL season in order to show her ‘support,’ following the team’s devastating Super Bowl loss last February.
The Karma hitmaker is in Miami to ‘support and spend time’ with the athlete according to a source who spoke with People.
‘Travis still seems very happy with Taylor,’ the source added of the pair, following reports that he blamed the public attention from their relationship for poorly impacting his NFL performance last season.
The duo, who have been dating since 2023, were recently seen enjoying a date at Harry’s Bar & Restaurant in West Palm Beach on Friday, a short drive from Kelce’s lavish new $20 million waterside mansion in Boca Raton.

‘Travis was working on Friday before his dinner date with Taylor,’ the insider shared. ‘He left early to go meet her.’
The news of Taylor’s decision to remain in Miami comes after the star opted to skip the American Music Awards in Las Vegas on Monday, despite being nominated in six categories and winning none.
Taylor’s support for Kelce’s upcoming season will certainly be crucial for him, as the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2024 season concluded with a tough 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59 this past February.
In April, it was reported that Travis believed his newfound fame from dating Taylor caused a dip in his NFL form last season.
