Taylor Swift has laid down the law in her relationship with Travis Kelce and the NFL star isn’t too happy with some of them, according to a report.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has found himself thrust into the spotlight amid his relationship with the popstar and she is said to be cautious about his public image, particularly following his drunken display at the Super Bowl parade.
And now six months into their relationship, the songstress reportedly feels she’s in a position to be able to establish some ground rules.
Travis is believed to be on board with most of the rules but some reportedly have him rolling his eyes.
One of Taylor’s new rules prohibits the Super Bowl winner from going to strip clubs, which he is ‘fine’ with, but another banning him from posing with female fans left him exasperated, a source told Life & Style.
The football player appears to understand Taylor’s need and talent for shaping her $1.1billion public image but reportedly sometimes feels the need to draw the line.
‘He has no interest in playing a calculated media game if it’s going to make him think twice about every move he makes. That’s not his style,’ adds the source.
Kelce was spotted wearing a t-shirt from a famous Las Vegas strip club in November on his way out of Allegiant Stadium after his Chiefs team beat the Raiders.
The tight end took a moment to greet fans on his way out and there was, as always, plenty of attention on what Taylor Swift’s boyfriend was wearing – given his love of fashion.
And his shirt raised some eyebrows, as judging by one fan’s posts across social media, it had the words ‘Crazy Horse, Las Vegas’ emblazoned across it – the name of the Sin City strip club, Crazy Horse 3.
It has been confirmed to DailyMail.Com that Kelce was not wearing it as part of a paid endorsement – it was his own choice to have it on.
Taylor also allegedly expects her NFL beau to FaceTime her, instead of texting her, while they’re separated by their successful careers. However, this isn’t as rule as such, but rather a hint or request.
‘She didn’t overtly say it, but she secretly wants to see where he is and who he’s with. Taylor’s a good judge of character and fears that some of his buddies are red flags,’ the source claimed to the outlet.
The 14-time Grammy Award winner is also said to have a hand in the tight end’s wardrobe.
Travis is known for his flair for fashion, especially when it comes to his game-day fits. He even had his Super Bowl look planned before the Chiefs had booked their ticket to Las Vegas.
However, the singer is said to have given him a closet allowance of $500,000 to step up his looks with ‘designer duds.’ The songstress’ own Super Bowl look alone cost over $60,000.
‘She loves that he likes to take chances with his style choices, but some of his outfits have been suspect,’ the source added.
‘He’s at an all-new fame level, so stepping it up with designer duds is just part of the deal. Taylor says she’s not changing him — it’s an evolution.’
However, the source insisted that the pop icon wasn’t trying to control her NFL boyfriend but merely help him adjust to the level of attention of which he has never seen before.
Neither she nor Travis are telling the other who they can and cannot associate with either as that would be a ‘relationship deal breaker’.
The report comes after Travis was recently branded a ‘red flag’ for his behavior during and in the wake of the Super Bowl.
He was criticized after he smiled for a ‘tone deaf’ selfie with a police officer outside a Kansas City restaurant just hours after the horrific shooting at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade.
Kelce, who can be seen with a beer in his hand, was all smiles as he entered the Granfalloon Restaurant and Bar the night after the shooting.
According to TMZ he was joining other teammates, who were already inside, for dinner just hours after the chaotic scenes in the city.
He did eventually match Taylor’s donations to the GoFundMe page for the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who was killed by the gunfire.
He made a pair of $50,000 donations from his charity, the Eighty-Seven & Running Foundation.
Earlier that day, a drunken Kelce could barely speak and stand up as he took to the stage in front of a million adoring Chiefs fans at the finale of the team’s parade.
Kelce tried to lead a drunken rendition of Garth Brooks’ 1990 country hit ‘Friends In Low Places’ after being passed the mic.
At the start of the song he tweaked one of Brooks’ lyrics to aim a dig at San Francisco, singing: ‘Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots, and ruined the Niners’ affair.’
But after a day of partying back in Kansas City, the celebrations appeared to take their toll on Kelce as he struggled to get his words out and finish the rest of the song.
The likes of Mahomes and Chris Jones were even forced to step in and prevent him from falling over at one stage, before eventually taking the mic from their groggy teammate.
The initial ‘red flag’ arrived during the Super Bowl itself when Kelce exploded into a fit of rage towards Chiefs coach Reid on the sideline.
With Swift watching on at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the tight end was furious he did not receive the ball on a play during the early stages of the game.
Heading back to the bench, Kelce got in the face of his 65-year-old coach, before quickly being pulled away by a teammate.
Approaching from the side, cameras caught Kelce storming towards the coach and bumping into him, causing him to temporarily lose his footing.
Kelce, 34, then grabbed his coach’s arm as he turned to face him, again screaming in his face – before being pulled away by fellow Chiefs player Jerrod McKinnon.
