KANSAS City Chiefs star Travis Kelce had the perfect response to a fan who made a Taylor Swift joke after a bad swing at the 2024 American Century Championship golf tournament.

The NFL tight end participated in the charity event, taking place in Lake Tahoe between July 10-14, together with his brother Jason .

Kelce, 34, is an avid golfer and has participated in the American Century Championship (ACC) for several years.

But the nine-time Pro Bowler showed that football remains his primary sport after a bad first tee shot on Saturday.

As the ball went not the way he intended, a spectator took a swipe at the Chiefs tight end.

“That’s alright, you still got Taylor,” the fan said, as caught by NBC Sports .

Travis took the joke well.

“You ain’t lying,” he replied while pointing at the crowd.

The three-time Super Bowl champion then waived to the spectators gathered around.

Swift , 34, came up also in Kelce’s interview with NBC .

The Chiefs star was asked whether he planned on making another on-stage cameo during the pop sensation’s Eras Tour.

“I can’t let anything out of the bag,” he responded.

“But right now I’m in full football mode after golf.”

Travis said he’s been thoroughly enjoying the past 12 months, which saw him start his relationship with Swift and add another championship ring to this collection.

“It’s been the funniest year of my life, I can definitely say that,” he said.

“I said that after the [2023] Super Bowl when I played my brother – meeting my brother at the mountaintop was the peak of my life.

'Well-talked-about personal life'

Travis Kelce was asked about his relationship with Taylor Swift during an interview with Good Morning America.

But the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gave a cagey response .

“When you have good family and friends around you, it makes that aspect of life that much easier,” Kelce told GMA.

“I’ve always been a very grounded guy. It might not come off that way when I’m playing football.

“But off the field, I just want to be a genuine person. I try not to get too far down the road.

“Because you never know what opportunities are going to present themselves.”

“And it’s just kind of been keep going up and up from there.

“And who knows, man? Who knows where this thing goes if I get the chance to win another one?

Kelce won a karaoke competition before the ACC tournament began.

He performed a rendition of Whitesnake’s song Here I Go Again, receiving a massive ovation.

And the Chiefs icon dedicated his victory to Swift .

“Taylor this is for you!” he shouted after being named the winner.
