Travis Kelce struggles with jealousy over Taylor Swift’s male backup dancers, wants her to hire only females for future tours

Long-distance is known to bring out jealousy, and it looks like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may not be immune.

According to a new report, the NFL star is feeling threatened by Taylor’s male backup dancers as the singer travels the world while continuing her record-breaking Eras tour.

Travis Is Allegedly Having Trust Issues

“He trusts Taylor but that doesn’t mean he’s fine seeing her surrounded by all these hot guys,” a source dished to Life & Style. “He’s a very macho, Alpha-male guy, his ego gets triggered pretty easily, and even if these guys don’t stand a chance with her he still has major pangs of jealousy, especially when he sees her getting showered with attention by them.”

“He comes from the old-school mentality where other men are automatically competition so of course this gets under his skin, even if they do work for her,” they went on. “You can bet he’ll be pushing for her to hire nothing but female dancers for her next tour.”

Travis may not be the only one dealing with jealousy. Previous reports said that Taylor has strict rules for her boyfriend, perhaps even more so when touring is driving a wedge between them.

“Pals are saying now that Taylor and Travis are more than six months into their relationship, she feels comfortable setting certain rules for him to follow,” a source told Life & Style. “Fortunately, Travis is on board — with most of them, anyway.”

Travis Is Allegedly Struggling With Taylor’s Rules

Travis is reportedly appreciative of Taylor’s guidance on handling media scrutiny and public attention, although they have differing views on certain aspects of her expectations. “Travis is fine with Taylor giving him her thoughts and opinions on how to navigate such a public relationship. He really does appreciate it,” the insider shared.

However, while Travis is willing to comply with some of Taylor’s requests, such as abstaining from visiting strip clubs, he reportedly balks at others.

Taylor has allegedly expressed discomfort with Travis taking public photos with other women, fearing it could lead to misconstrued speculation and unwarranted headlines. “[Travis] is fine not going to strip clubs anymore (that’s one of her hard rules), but Taylor also doesn’t want him posing for photographs with female fans, mostly to avoid inaccurate headlines,” the source disclosed.

Despite his willingness to accommodate certain boundaries, Travis is said to have reacted with mild exasperation to this particular rule. “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,” they went on.

Taylor’s tour may make it or break it when it comes to their relationship. But despite the rumors of jealousy issues, Taylor and Travis are also the subject of engagement rumors, proving fans are eager to see them take the next step.
