Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have rocked the world when their much-anticipated linkup unfolded in front of everyone at the Arrowhead Stadium last Sunday. Since that day a lot has happened not just in the personal life of Kelce, but also in the increase of jersey sales, ticket sales, and a stark rise in the number of followers. Eyeing to have a piece of the Swift Effect, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban had an offer for the pop star.

In his recent appearance at ESPN’s First Take with Stephen A. Smith and Molly Qerim, Mark Cuban jokingly wanted to lure Taylor Swift to Dallas to get more business out of it. So he asked her to break up with Kelce and date a good-looking player from the Dallas Mavericks. However, the Chiefs’ TE had a response ready for him.

I gotchu.”
