"You're done," "Behave yourself & apologize": Taylor Swift fans send threats to Teair Tart for punching Travis Kelce during Chiefs-Chargers game

LA Chargers star Teair Tart had a controversial moment during their season-opening victory against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil on Friday. During a play in the third quarter, he lost his cool and slapped Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Despite his actions, the officials did not eject him from the game.

However, on social media, Tart faced backlash from Kelce and Taylor Swift's fanbase. The "Swifties" flooded the nose tackle's social media pages with threats after his controversial moment with the "Blank Space" hitmaker's fiancé.

Here are some of the comments that Swifties left on Teair Tart's social media pages:

"Ur done sweetheart. We do not play with The Killas," one fan commented.

"DON'T MESS WITH TRAVIS OKAY BEHAVE YOURSELF AND APOLOGIZE," another fan said.

"DON'T TOUCH TRAVIS LIKE THAT," this fan wrote.

"You mess with Taylor's fiancee, you mess with US!!" another fan stated.

"Gone hit trav and think s**t sweet? Swifties on ur ahhh," this fan said.

NFL officiating and rules analyst Walt Anderson explained why Tart was not ejected. He said since it was an open-handed contact, the nose tackle was charged with unnecessary roughness and a 15-yard penalty instead of a disqualification.

Tart has been with the Chargers since signing with them in August 2024. Last season, he recorded 29 total tackles, 1.0 sacks and five quarterback hits.

Teair Tart shares hilarious meme on his Instagram story after slapping Travis Kelce

Despite being bombarded with comments from the Swifties, the Chargers offensive tackle seemed unbothered with all the backlash and criticism for his actions against Travis Kecle.

On his Instagram story, Tart shared a hilarious meme of the joke, ‘What did the five fingers say to the face?’ It was originally clipped from a skit called ‘Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories’ created by Dave Chappelle and Charlie Murphy for Dave Chappelle's show called Chapelle’s Show in 2003.

The Chargers next take on the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on Sept. 15. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and NFL+ at 10:00 pm ET.
