There won’t be a death by a thousand papercuts for Travis Kelce.
After all, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end played it cool when he recently ran into a cardboard cutout of Taylor Swift during his visit to London in support of the singer’s Eras Tour.
“We were having a ‘Swiftie Party’ later that day,” Jessi Riley, a bar manager at the Philadelphia-inspired dive bar Passyunk Avenue, told People of the encounter. “It was extra funny because I was setting up the cardboard cutout of Taylor Swift as Travis walked in.”
Jessi continued, “I kind of said, ‘Sorry about the girlfriend, we’re having a Taylor Swift after-party tonight,’ and he said, ‘As am I.’”
And in the afterglow of the exchange, Travis ordered a beer and a cheesesteak, according to the manager.
“He was a bit early, so I wasn’t expecting him for another 45 minutes,” Jessi recounted, “so there I was standing with his girlfriend!”
