Travis Kelce Reacts to Mark Cuban Begging Taylor Swift to Date Dallas Mavericks Player
Travis Kelce shared his hilarious reaction to Mark Cuban's comments about his rumored relationship with Taylor Swift.
While Swifties are thrilled that Swift has found a nice love interest in Kelce, the Shark Tank star appeared on ESPN's First Take, where he jokingly explained why he doesn't want the romance to work out.
He addressed Swift directly, urging her to break up with Kelce in favor of dating a basketball player from the Mavericks, the NBA team Cuban owns.
"Taylor—if you're listening, sorry Travis—break up with him. I've got a bunch of good-looking single guys that play for the Dallas Mavericks. I got you, I got you," he said to the camera, with hopes that Swift would be tuning in.

Host Molly Qerim laughed at his request, while her co-host Stephen Smith rolled his eyes and sighed, "Oh my lord." Smith then gave Cuban props for trying, admitting, "You're a marketing wiz, that's not a bad strategy on your part."
Kelce happened to see a tweet from the official First Take Twitter, which featured the clip. He replied, "Just sign me to a ten day! ??." His remark was in reference to 10-day contracts, where athletes prove their abilities before signing a contract with a team.
Cuban responded by quote-tweeting Kelce's reply with smiling emojis.

It's clear that Swift's love life has impacted the world of sports. Swift and Kelce reportedly started going out towards the end of the summer. Things took a more serious turn when the superstar was seen spending time with Kelce's mom, cheering him on at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 24.
Since that iconic appearance at Arrowhead Stadium, sales for Kelce's Chiefs jersey have gone up 400 percent.
