We all knew it was going to happen: It seems that Taylor Swift has “clawed” Travis Kelce.

After being seen together on numerous occasions, Kelce and Swift appear to be dating, as a photo from TMZ confirms. However, this photo also has the relationship experts of the internet terrified. Could it be that Swift has *gulp* clawed Kelce???



“Folks, this is not good. My worst nightmare come true. The Claw’s come out to play,” Barstool Sports’ Jack Mac opined. “Travis has been clawed by Taylor! It’s not a full claw, but this is early onset claw syndrome, okay?”


What does it mean to be clawed? There’s some debate. For a more charitable explanation, some say it’s when a partner shows signs of getting attached to you — i.e., digs their claws into you. For a more blackpilled explanation, one “claws” their partner when they feel they have dominance over them, or view their place in the relationship like that of a parent or god. This can be visible in the couple’s posture.


While the untrained eye may see this photo as normal, the image has somehow terrified both the incel-adjacent and the Swifties. For the Swifties, it means that Kelce and Swift are getting close — a terrifying thought given that many are still coming around to the idea of football.



For the Andrew Tate-wannabes, the photo shows Kelce readily accepting the claw — which is, of course, the mark of a weak man. She’s got dominance over him, and the longer he allows her to dig her claws into him, the more power she’ll steal from him. You know, like a vampire. A vampire with a net worth of $780 million.


Commenters couldn’t stop debating the claw. “Those are drunk claws. He’s done for,” wrote one user. “It’s a mutual claw. His arms on her waist lol,” said another. “I think he loves the claws. He shot his shot to get those claws,” stated a third. “That’s billion-dollar claw tho,” shared an additional TikToker.


Has Travis Kelce been clawed by Taylor Swift? Maybe. Do we care? No.
