Travis Kelce made another public declaration of his interest in Taylor Swift.
After Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban suggested that Swift, 33, turn her romantic focus to one of the players on his NBA team, Kelce had a quick comeback.
“Taylor…sorry if you’re listening Travis. Break up with him, I got a bunch of good-looking single guys that play for the Dallas Mavericks. I got you,” Cuban, 65, said on ESPN’s First Take on Thursday.
Kelce, 33, saw Cuban’s remarks on social media and quickly took to X, formerly Twitter, to respond.
“Just sign me to a 10 day,” Kelce wrote in a post, teasing the Shark Tank investor by suggesting he could play for the Mavericks on a limited contract.
Kelce has won over Swift’s fans with his admiration for the singer ever since rumors began swirling about their rumored romance.
In July, he admitted he attempted to give Swift his phone number after seeing her perform in concert. “I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” Kelce said on an episode of his podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.

But the two did eventually make contact, with Kelce sharing last Thursday that he invited the “Karma” singer to see him play. And three days later, Swift attended the Kansas City Chiefs star’s game at Allegiant Stadium, sitting in his suite with his mom Donna Kelce.
In his first public comments since the viral outing, Kelce said, “Shout out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy,” Travis said, adding of the singer, “She looked amazing.”
Kelce was especially excited to see Swift celebrate his win — and his touchdown — alongside his mom.
He gushed, “To see the slow motion chest bumps, to see the high fives with Mom, to see how, you know, Chiefs kingdom was all excited that she was there — that s— was absolutely hysterical and it was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for damn sure.”
After the Chiefs 41-10 victory, Swift impressed the tight end’s family and friends during an after party in Kansas City. Kelce said his family and friends “had nothing but great things to say about her,” adding that “everybody was talking about her in great light.”
It was the first time Swift had met Travis’ parents, a source told PEOPLE, and it went smoothly. “Everyone was enjoying themselves. She was super chill and low-key hanging out with his friends and family.”
