From Courtside To Heartside? Mark Cuban Teases Taylor Swift's Rumored Romance With Travis Kelce: 'Break Up With Him'

In a light-hearted exchange that has caught the attention of fans and media alike, Mark Cuban, the owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, recently suggested that pop icon Taylor Swift should consider dating one of his basketball players. However, Travis Kelce, NFL star and Swift's rumored beau, had a humorous retort ready.

What Happened: During a segment on ESPN's "First Take" last week, Cuban playfully remarked, "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."

Cuban shared the conversation on X. That same day, Kelce replied to Cuban on X and said, "Just sign me to a ten day!" alluding to a brief NBA contract.

The playful banter came amid swirling rumors of a budding romance between Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.

Speculations reached a fever pitch when Swift was seen cheering for Kelce during a game against the Chicago Bears. E! News reported that the duo left the game together and were later spotted enjoying a post-game dinner.

Addressing the ongoing speculations regarding their relationship, Kelce, on his podcast New Heights, stated, "What's real is that it is my personal life, and I want to respect both of our lives."

"She's not in the media as much as I am doing this show every single week and having fun during the NFL season on other guys' shows. I'm enjoying life, and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend, so everything moving forward, I think me talking about sports and saying 'Alright, nah' will have to be where I keep it," he added during the podcast. 

The NFL player also acknowledged Swift's attendance at his game, saying, "Shout out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy."
