The Traylor saga seems to have met with a rocky incident. The “Bad Blood” singer’s bodyguard had allegedly been shoved by Travis Kelce. In the New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother and Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce, he addressed the charges against him. He also let out a side of him that was sure to make him earn 103 million Swifties’ stamp of approval.

The couple had been seen on two back-to-back dates in NYC, where the $740 million singer-songwriter owns a swanky apartment. The last time the rumored couple was in NYC, the Kansas City Chiefs had defeated the New York Jets 23-20. The dates came soon after the Chiefs game against the Denver Broncos and during the 10-day break before the Chiefs take on the Los Angeles Chargers.

Travis Kelce’s gesture mistaken for push

Although there is no video of Travis “pushing” Taylor’s bodyguard, the brothers brought it up in their latest podcast episode. They were reacting to a TikTok video made by a fan when Jason asked him if he had actually pushed the bodyguard. Travis defended himself against the allegations, saying, “I didn’t push him. I placed my hand on the gentleman’s back to let him know I was behind him.” He knew how protective Swift’s bodyguards are of her, and he said that had he really pushed one of them, “he probably would have turned around and tased me.”

Jason Kelce decided to have some fun with his “little boy” brother and joked that is exactly how a person would euphemistically describe a push. “You’re ridiculous,” Travis laughed it off. Considering that Travis is 6 feet, 5 inches and has a heavy, muscular build, we don’t think Taylor needs other bodyguards. Jason echoed the same thoughts when we asked his brother if he felt like Taylor’s bodyguard whenever they went out together.

Travis Kelce to double up as Taylor Swift’s security

Travis revealed that whenever they went out together, he would feel very protective of Taylor and consider it his duty to protect her. How does his older brother, who’s married to Kylie and has three daughters? Jason, looking as intimidating as he does with his heavy build and beard, spoke about his seating preferences. He said he always chose the seats against the wall and never the middle of whichever restaurant they ate at. That would enable him to have a view of the entire restaurant and be wary of “enemies.”

The 34-year-old was much more carefree about this. He said that he simply chose whichever seat was most convenient. As the rumored couple’s relationship blossoms, maybe Travis will have to take a leaf out of his brother’s books. If Kelce can protect his QB on the gridiron, he should also act as a blocker for Taylor Swift, right? Swifties definitely would want someone who can defend their queen against adversaries.
