Travis Kelce’s ego is reportedly “triggered” by Taylor Swift working alongside male dancers on her Eras Tour, with the Kansas City Chiefs star experiencing “major pangs of jealousy.”

Swift, who has been dating Kelce for nearly a year, has been on her worldwide tour since March 2023. This week, the pop superstar is performing in Scotland.

As one of the most famous artists globally, Taylor is frequently surrounded by male backup dancers on stage, which is said to make her boyfriend uncomfortable.

According to Life and Style magazine, Kelce has become jealous seeing his girlfriend get “showered with attention” by “hot guys” on her Eras Tour, despite not doubting her faithfulness.

“He trusts Taylor, but that doesn’t mean he’s fine seeing her surrounded by all these hot guys,” a source is quoted as saying. “He’s a very macho, alpha-male guy, his ego gets triggered pretty easily, and even if these guys don’t stand a chance with her, he still has major pangs of jealousy, especially when he sees her getting showered with attention by them.”

The insider adds that Kelce’s “old-school mentality” means other men are automatically considered competition, which always “gets under his skin.”

The Chiefs tight end has so far enjoyed a whirlwind romance with Swift, who traveled thousands of miles to watch him play last season.

Many are now speculating whether an engagement could be on the horizon for the couple, including actor Jason Sudeikis.

Kelce played coy when Sudeikis cheekily asked about his plans to propose to Swift at the charity event “Big Slick Celebrity Weekend” last Saturday, saying: “Hey … when are you going to make an honest woman out of her?”

The crowd at the T-Mobile Center cheered as Kelce smiled and rubbed his face in response, though he didn’t offer any comment.

“Taylor doesn’t need to be working anymore,” Sudeikis continued, humorously adding, “I know your kicker agrees with me.” The audience loudly applauded Sudeikis’ subtle dig at Kelce’s teammate, Harrison Butker, who recently faced criticism for suggesting female college graduates should embrace being “homemakers” rather than pursuing a career.

Patrick Regan, Kelce’s barber and close friend, is also hoping to see his pal propose to Swift soon.

Sharing his insights on the NFL’s most high-profile couple, Regan opened up about his longtime friendship with the Kansas City legend and getting to know his girlfriend throughout last season.

However, when trying to move on from the subject on the Day Off Podcast, he was asked: “When’s the wedding?”

Brushing off the question, the celebrity hairstylist said, “Hopefully soon. That would be fun.”
