Things took a turn though when a university student heckled him.

“Kelce. How does it feel that your brother is a f****t for dating Taylor Swift?” the unknown man yelled out.

The former defensive lineman then turned around, snatched the phone out of the heckler’s hand, threw it to the ground and stormed off.

The heckler, whose face is obscured by a hoodie, then catches up with Kelce, saying something hard to make out about his phone.

Kelce then replies, “Whose is the f****t now?” before walking away for good.

Someone who appears to be with Kelce also tells the heckler to “get out of here” and they walk off.

The clip has amassed millions of views online.

Travis Kelce’s entire family has been thrown further into the spotlight since his romance with Taylor Swift was confirmed last year.

Swift and Kelce seem incredibly in love and are always seen to be supporting each other.

Kelce frequently comes to her shows, and Swift is often seen cheering him on at his Chief’s games.

It’s also made Kelce’s family go from being famous with NFL fans to household names worldwide. The type of famous that means Kelce is now constantly asked about his younger brother’s relationship.

Kelce recently told reporters that he just always wants to be “supportive” of his brother and “everything that they’ve got going on because it’s so wonderful right now“.

But in September, Kelce admitted that the new attention on his family isn’t always a good thing and can be hard.

“It’s a lot. There’s a lot of people paying attention at all times, which is positive and negative at times,” he candidly said.

“But I think that she’s built up such a fan base and a contingency and an amount of people that really, really just, like, love her that it’s really cool at the same time.”
