Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship is being tested.

The NFL star’s family is “incredibly overwhelmed” by the media frenzy that continues to follow the couple’s every move — to the point that they are worried for his safety, TMZ reported Tuesday.

Kelce’s immediate family — parents Donna and Ed Kelce, and big brother Jason Kelce — have reportedly become “a bit startled” with the singer’s “intense” fan base (“Swifties”), and are “a little worried” for his well-being.

The Chiefs tight end’s family has been under a microscope since he and Swift were first linked in September, and sources told TMZ they’re being extra careful with their words due to the publicity attention.

Although being in the spotlight isn’t the ideal situation for the usually private family, the Kelces are reportedly very happy for the couple.

The report added the family’s personal cell phones and social media are “blowing up” due to the star-studded romance.

Donna and Jason have been vocal about navigating the added attention the high-profile relationship brings.

“It’s certainly been weird, the level that it is now,” Jason told NBC Sports last week. “On one hand, I’m happy for my brother that he seems to be in a relationship that he’s excited about, that he is genuine about. But there’s another end of it where it’s like, ‘Man, this is a lot.’”

However, the family, including Travis, have been good sports about the whirlwind experience in the public eye.

Swift, 33, also appears to have a great relationship with Kelce’s family.

The “Cruel Summer” singer was seen cheering with his parents at recent Chiefs games and even showed off her handshake with Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The Kelce-Swift craze has continued to take over the NFL world and has become a pop culture phenomenon.

The All-Pro tight end and the 12-time Grammy winner went public with their romance this month when they stepped out together in New York City holding hands on separate occasions.

Swift, who has attended four Chiefs games this season, was not present for Kansas City’s 24-9 loss to the Broncos in Denver on Sunday.

Swifties were buzzing on social media when the Broncos played the singer’s hit song, “Shake It Off,” while celebrating the surprise upset.

The singer flew from Morristown, N.J., to Kansas City on her private jet to reunite with Kelce, 34, after the Chiefs’ 15-point loss.

It’s been statistically proven that Kelce has played better when Swift is in attendance, which CBS has capitalized on by sharing graphics on their broadcast.

The couple appears to be going strong just before Swift heads back out on her “Eras Tour” in November.

Kelce is reportedly set to visit her in Argentina.
