Travis Kelce has gained thousands of new fans thanks to pop icon Taylor Swift attending the Kansas City Chiefs game last weekend -- with one of those being a "Shark Tank" star, who might have just taken her shot!
Which 'Shark' Might Be After Travis Kelce?
After Taylor Swift attended the Kansas City Chiefs game on Sunday, the Chiefs gained close to 17,500 new followers across their X and Instagram accounts. According to data from Betway, the reigning Super Bowl champion gained 29,920 new Instagram followers -- with one of those being "Shark Tank" star Barbara Corcoran.
The 74-year-old American businesswoman and investor commented on Travis Kelce's most recent Instagram post, "I’m your biggest fan (since Sunday)".
Fans immediately replied to the "Shark", writing things such as "Barbara Swiftie era confirmed" and "truer words have never been spoken for me. Hahaha".
Another replied to Corcoran, writing, "Our girl Barb".
We hate to be the ones to tell you, but Kelce seems to be taken by the arguably biggest pop star on the planet at the moment. Sorry, Barb.
It's A 'Love Story' For Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have taken over the internet with their dating rumors, but once the "Bad Blood" singer showed up at the Chiefs game alongside Kelce's mom, Donna, fans exploded. In fact, Kelce's jersey sales have spiked nearly 400%, per ESPN.
Following the Chiefs win against the Bears, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the "Love Story" singer were spotted leaving Arrowhead Stadium together. Although they were not hand in hand, Swift was clearly on cloud nine as she was seen smiling from ear to ear and laughing on her way out. The two also reportedly grabbed dinner together in an intimate setting.
Kelce finally spoke out following Swift’s NFL appearance on his and his brother, Jason Kelce's, podcast, admitting, “I just thought it was awesome how everyone in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her. You know, the friends and family. She looked amazing, everybody was talking about her in a great light.”
While Taylor Swift’s appearance at the Chiefs game was very public, sources say their in-person interactions before Sunday were always in a “very private setting.”
An insider also spoke out before Swift’s public outing at the Chiefs game, admitting, “She and Travis have hung out twice, and it’s nothing serious. She thinks he is very charming, and they have been texting this last week. He is a little embarrassed at how much attention they are getting, but he has told her he would love to continue seeing her.”
Kelce's ex, however, has a different view on things as she warned Taylor Swift of Kelce's past. Maya Benberry, who dated the Kansas City Chiefs player for a few months in 2016 after winning his E! reality dating show, “Catching Kelce”, claims that “the man [she] knew him to be when [they] dated” is an unfaithful one.
“Taylor [Swift] seems like such a fun girl with a beautiful spirit, so I wish her the best of luck, but I wouldn’t be a girls’ girl if I didn’t advise her to be smart!” Benberry, 31, told DailyMail. “I’m sure by now she has mastered the ability to see who is there for her — and who is just using her.”
She added, “Only time will tell, but like the saying always goes: Once a cheater, always a cheater.”
