Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift‘s relationship appears to be moving along nicely. The couple, who went public with their romance in late 2023, have only proven that they’re getting stronger by the day with public appearances, cute social media photos, and more. However, while Kelce is looking ahead to the upcoming NFL season, he may also have to watch his back when it comes to his girlfriend, as a rival player seems to have eyes for Swift.
Recently, Dallas Cowboys player Jake Ferguson didn’t hold back when it came to meeting Taylor Swift. Ferguson, who is also an NFL tight end like Travis Kelce, announced that he was surprised by how nice and normal the singer was when he met her. In addition, he couldn’t believe how well she knew the game of football.
However, what really raised eyebrows were his comments about making physical contact with Taylor. Jake revealed that she shook his hand, and now he’s smitten, per Athlon Sports.

“I shook her hand, I still haven’t washed my hand,” Ferguson said. “She’s so normal, she’s so nice! Not that I was expecting anything different, but like, she knew football. She was talking like, ‘We [the Chiefs] got a big game at Cowboys this year!’”
Ferguson got to meet Swift when he attended a Tight End University event hosted by Kelce, as well as other NFL tight ends such as George Kittle and Greg Olsen. It was then that he got his first interaction with the singer, and fans couldn’t help but notice his strong reaction to meeting the global icon.
“His attempt at flirting and throwing that out there lmaoo!! He is cute,” one person wrote via X.
“I think he’s star struck,” said another.
“I ship these two…wait,” joked a third social media user.
“This is just Travis in a different font,” another chimed in.
While Ferguson may be starstruck by Swift, it seems like he doesn’t stand a chance when it comes to getting between her and Kelce. The couple has been living in a little love bubble since the Super Bowl in February, and many believe that talks of marriage and babies will be next.
For now, it seems that Jake Ferguson will have to wait in the wings if he wants a chance with Taylor Swift, because she seemingly only has eyes for Travis Kelce. Meanwhile, with the NFL season quickly approaching, fans can’t wait to get more sweet moments between the duo.
