NFL Hall of FamerTony Gonzalezhas nothing but love forTaylor SwiftandTravis Kelce!
OnThe Kelly Clarkson ShowThursday, the former Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed that he is on board with the “new audience” Swift has brought to the NFL — and that he recently congratulated Kelce on his latest on-the-field achievement.
“Did he just break your record?” the host asked Gonzalez, 47, before the show’s other guest,Jennifer Garner, hilariously tried to intercept the question.
“Do you have to be bringing that up?” Garner, 51, joked.
Last Sunday, Kelce set a new NFL record for reaching 11,000 receiving yards in the fewest number of games (154) as a tight end,according to NFL.com, surpassing Gonzalez who had previously held the record.

“I was like, ‘Oh, how cool, I’m getting so popular that a 10-year-old girl [wants to talk to me],'” Gonzalez shared, laughing. “She goes, ‘Hi, Is your name Tony? Do you know Travis Kelce?’”
He added, “But I think it’s great that Taylor’s done this for the NFL, she’s brought a whole new audience, it’s been great.”
