Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are perhaps the most high-profile couple in the United States at the moment. The 12-time Grammy winner started dating the 2-time Super Bowl winning tight end earlier this year. Since then, Swift has been often spotted at the Kansas City Chiefs games. Most recently, she was in attendance at the AFC Championship game. Dana White and the UFC used a moment from the game to promote their upcoming fight, which has not been well received by fans on X.
Earlier today, the UFC Twitter page posted an image of Taylor Swift whispering into Travis Kelce’s ear. This image was taken after the Chiefs’ triumphant win over the Ravens to punch their Super Bowl ticket. The image was shared with a caption,
“Psst, we’re back this weekend with #UFCVegas85.”

Dana White also used the same image to promote the upcoming event for PowerSlap on his Instagram stories as well. He wrote,
“Now that we are going to Vegas, can we go to Power Slap on Feb 9 at @durangoresort?“
After the first PPV of the year two weeks back, the UFC returns to action this weekend. The fight card will be headlined by a middleweight clash between Roman Dolidze and Nassourdine Imavov. Fans will not have to worry about another break anytime soon. The promotion has an event scheduled every weekend in the month of February.
