Travis Kelce's recent Instagram post featuring Taylor Swift has sparked debate (Getty Images) Travis Kelce 's latest Instagram post featuring Taylor Swift may look sweet, but it's stirred up unexpected controversy. According to insiders, Kelce sought Swift's approval before sharing each photo. While some fans applaud the respect, others question if the NFL star is being overly controlled in the high-profile relationship. Balancing public life with personal boundaries When Travis Kelce recently surprised fans with a carousel of never-before-seen moments with Taylor Swift, it wasn't a spur‑of‑the‑moment decision. According to a source close to the couple, Kelce ran every single image by Swift before posting them on Instagram.

He didn't want to post anything she wasn't 100% comfortable with,' the source reiterated, highlighting Kelce's priority of making Swift feel safe and respected. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The World's Most Stunning Blue Flag Beaches Ranked: Top 25 List!
