After years of establishing himself as one of the most dominant tight ends in the NFL and becoming a legitimate superstar in the league, Travis Kelce is used to being one of the most famous people anywhere he goes. But in a brutal turn of events, he wasn’t even famous enough to be in a photograph with some people far more famous than he is.
This week, Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift is playing a series of concerts at Wembley Stadium in London. Before the show, she had a few royal guests as she mingled with Prince William and his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. She then took a selfie with the three royals with Travis Kelce joining them for the photo, which was shared by swift on social media.
“Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start,” Swift said in her post, wishing Prince William a happy 42nd birthday.

However, when the royals shared their photograph of the encounter with the pop sensation, Kelce did not make the cut.
The official account of Prince William and Princess Kate shared a photo of Swift taking a selfie with the royal family, but in a brutal turn of events, Kelce was not included in the photo.
Thank you @taylorswift13 for a great evening! #LondonTSTheErastour pic.twitter.com/NFSi8hAl1o

Needless to say, this is a pretty brutal turn of events for a guy who is used to being one of the most famous people everywhere he goes, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.
I’m dead at Travis not in this angle but Taylor’s selfie/post including him 💀 she knew was she was doing. https://t.co/Va3sxHhA2W

Maybe this little snub will humble him a bit.
