Amid Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s blossoming romance with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/a>, Shark Tank<\/em>\u2018s Mark Cuban<\/strong><\/a> made an interesting plea. He insisted Taylor should dump Travis and date one of his Dallas Mavericks players instead \u2014 and Travis had the perfect reaction!<\/p>\n \u201cTaylor \u2014 if you\u2019re listening, sorry Travis \u2014 break up with him,\u201d Mark, 65, said while looking directly into the camera during the Thursday, September 28, episode ESPN\u2019s\u00a0First Take<\/em>. Wanting her to try out dating a basketball star, the billionaire team owner added, \u201cBreak up with him, I\u2019ve got a bunch of good-looking, single guys that play for the Dallas Mavericks. I got you, I got you.\u201d<\/p>\n When Travis, 33, got wind of his comment, he was willing to switch sports to keep his relationship with Taylor alive. He wrote directly to Mark via X<\/a>, \u201cJust sign me to a ten day!\u201d referring to how a 10-day contract allows a player to show off their skills for a team and they can decide if the athlete is worthy of continuing or being cut.<\/p>\n Travis and Taylor, 33, made their debut as a couple after she attended his Chiefs game at Kansas City\u2019s Arrowhead Stadium on September 24. The \u201cCruel Summer\u201d singer sat in a skybox with his mom,\u00a0Donna Kelce<\/strong>, and animatedly cheered on Travis and his team<\/a> against the Chicago Bears, especially when he scored a touchdown. Cutaways showed Taylor in a white tank top with a red Chiefs jacket<\/a>, giving high-fives and chest bumps to Travis\u2019 pals in his suite.<\/p>\n After the game, the pair were caught on video walking closely together and smiling as they exited a tunnel at stadium, where they got into his vintage convertible and drove off into the night to a private party at Kansas City hotspot Prime Social Rooftop. Photos later emerged of Taylor sitting on his lap with her arm around Travis\u2019 neck.<\/p>\n The Super Bowl winner made a reference to her songs, \u201cGetaway Car,\u201d when reflecting back on having her at his game during his Wednesday, September 27, episode of his \u201cNew Heights Show\u201d podcast with brother Jason Kelce<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cShoutout to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy,\u201d Travis said. \u201cI just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her, you know, the friends and family. She looked amazing and everybody was talking about her in a great light.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTo see the slow-motion chest bumps, to see the high fives with mom. To see how Chiefs kingdom was all excited that she was there, that s\u2013t was absolutely hysterical and it was definitely a game I\u2019ll remember<\/a> that\u2019s for damn sure. And then we just slid off in the getaway car at the end,\u201d he added, making a sly reference to the hit song off her 2017\u00a0Reputation<\/em>\u00a0album.<\/p>\n However, Travis didn\u2019t elaborate any further on their romance to protect Taylor\u2019s desire for privacy when it comes to her love life. \u201cI know I brought all this attention to me, right? I\u2019m the one that did the whole friendship bracelet thing and told everybody how butthurt<\/a> I was that I didn\u2019t get to meet Taylor,\u201d he said. \u201cSo yeah, I think what\u2019s real is that it is my personal life and I wanna respect both of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n The NFL superstar first made his interest in the Grammy winner known after he tried and failed to slip her his phone number<\/a> during Taylor\u2019s July Eras tour stop in Kansas City.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there. But I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it. \u2026 She doesn\u2019t meet anybody, or at least she didn\u2019t want to meet me, so I took it personal,\u201d he told Jason during their July 26 podcast, adding, \u201cI was little butthurt that I didn\u2019t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
