The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/portland-mayor-ted-wheeler-pepper-sprays-man-stalking-him-at-restaurant\/\" title=\"Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Pepper Sprays Man Stalking Him At Restaurant\">incident occurred<\/a> during a play where Kelce was blocking tart, and after the whistle, Tart struck Kelce&#8217;s helmet with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/putin-cant-be-appeased\/\" title=\"Putin Can\u2019t Be Appeased\">open hand<\/a>. Video showed Kelce shoving Tart first, leading to the slap and a penalty flag. Tart was not ejected, as officials ruled the open-hand hit was not disqualifying. Tart later posted a comedic reference to the slap on Instagram. The altercation sparked a strong reaction from Swift&#8217;s fanbase, known as Swifties, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ole-miss-frat-kicks-out-student-after-he-mocked-pro-palestinian-protester\/\" title=\"Ole Miss Frat Expels Student for Mocking Pro-Palestinian Protester\">expressed outrage online<\/a>. Kelce had worn an expensive outfit to the game, though Swift herself did not attend.This event was notable in the Swiftie community and NFL circles alike.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>It was the slap heard &lsquo;round the Swifitie world.<\/p>\n<p>During Friday night&rsquo;s NFL game played in Brazil, Los Angeles Chargers defensive tackle Teair Tart swatted Tayor Swift&rsquo;s fianc&eacute;, sometimes known as tight end Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>The Chargers defeated the Chiefs 27-21 in a game in which Kelce caught his first touchdown pass of the year.<\/p>\n<p>As noted by <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/travis-kelce-takes-slap-face-during-chiefs-loss-chargers-in-brazil-11804874\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">People<\/a>, Kelce was blocking Tart during a two-yard run by Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt.

Los Angeles Chargers defensive tackle Teair Tart struck Taylor Swift&#8217;s fianc\u00e9, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
