Things got tense between Tart and Kelce at 8:24 in the third quarter, when they got entangled and Kelce pushed Tart away. Tart didn't appreciate the shove and slapped Kelce in the face.

The situation didn't sit well with plenty of fans, who criticized the Chargers' player on social media. More than that, Taylor Swift's fans were upset about thed incident and sent threats to Teair Tart.

The sixth-year veteran raised the bar with a message to Kelce and the Swifties on Instagram on Saturday.

Many were unhappy that the referees didn't eject Tart, as they considered a slap a big enough foul to draw an ejection. While the broadcast explained that an open-hand strike isn't viewed as serious as a closed-fist punch, fans didn't buy the explanation.

Tart and Kelce are set to clash on Dec. 14 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. If the teams live up to the expectations, the matchup could have big ramifications in the AFC West title race.

The Chiefs have a lot to work on after this game, while the Chargers appear to have found the way to stop Patrick Mahomes and Co.
