The former Philadelphia Eagles star has not yet commented on the incident. 

Travis and Swift have been dating for more than a year after they were initially linked in September 2023, when the 'Lover' singer went to support the Kansas City Chiefs tight end during an NFL game. 

Jason and Swift have also become close over the course of her relationship with his younger brother. The former Philadephia Eagles center and his wife, Kylie Kelce, took two of their three daughters to see the pop star's Eras Tour in Miami last month
