Teair Tart is getting trolled by millions of Swifties on social media. The Los Angeles Chargers' nose tackle smacked Travis Kelce, Swift's fiancé, on his face after the Kansas City Chiefs' first touchdown drive on Friday. Tart, however, was not disqualified. Referees determined that it was an ‘open hand’, ‘below the head’ hit.
It was in the third quarter, just after Mahomes had led a brilliant TD drive, when Kareem Hunt got to a first down on third-and-short. But the Chargers were immediately flagged. Tart took a swat at Kelce’s face mask. That added 15 yards.

Who is Teair Tart?

Chiefs sustain early blow
Kansas City Chiefs receiver Xavier Worthy exited after the third offensive play against the Los Angeles Chargers with a right shoulder injury. After initially being labeled questionable to return, he was later ruled out.
Worthy was running an underneath pattern when he collided with teammate Travis Kelce. Worthy appeared to be in intense pain when walking to the sideline in Sao Paulo and again when he was led to the locker room.
Worthy enjoyed a fine rookie campaign last season when he scored nine touchdowns -- six receiving, three rushing. He caught 59 passes for 638 yards.
