Taylor Swift is a global superstar who is used to fans coming up to her and wanting autograps and pictures.
Athletes that play in the NFL are celebrities in their own right but even high profiled guys can be fans.
Kansas City Chiefs players have spent a lot of time out with Taylor Swift since she has been dating Travis Kelce. It has been months now but you have not seen many pictures with the guys at all.
Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice shared his thoughts on Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift, revealing how he’s playing it cool despite having the Grammy winner in the stands playing cheer captain.
“I’ve seen her,” he explained on the Dec. 20 episode of Fubo Sports’ Airing It Out podcast. “But I didn’t go up to her like, ‘Can I get a picture?’ Not like that.”
Chiefs players have an understanding not to ask Swift for photos when they’re out.
“Those guys like Trav, Pat,” he continued. “Those guys invite us out because they know that we’re the only guys that see them every day and see them for who they really are. Not just like, ‘Bro, you’re a superstar football player.'”
“I wouldn’t go up to another dude’s girl,” he shared. “And be like, ‘Bro, can I get a picture with your girl?’ Maybe if my girl was out, I’d be like, ‘Can we get a picture with the girls together or something?'”

The surge of interest between Swift and her new man propelled Kelce and his brother in the jersey sales department.
Jason shed light on both his and Travis’ jerseys being the top two-selling jerseys in the U.K. last week.
“We are the No. 1 and No. 2 top jersey in the United Kingdom,” Jason told his younger brother. “Trav, you got the No. 1 jersey — good to know we’re still No. 1 at something these days — followed by me at No. 2. This is crazy — it’s Travis, then me, then Pat Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.”
Travis’ jersey boost comes amid his romance with Swift, Jason joked that his heightened jersey sales likely comes from people mixing him and his brother up. “They’re all Kylie Kelce fans, so they’re supporting [Jason’s wife] Kylie [Kelce],” he joked, before giving her and Swift credit. “Shoutout to Kylie, shoutout to Taylor. Thank you, guys.”
This isn’t the first time Travis has experienced a large boost in his jersey sales. When Swift attended Kansas City Chiefs’ Sept. 24 game, it was reported that his jersey saw a 400% increase in sales.
