Taylor Swift's facing a temporary radio ban in Philadelphia and it's all down to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

The singer, 33, has been dating the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, for the last couple of months, with the couple often being snapped holding hands and hanging out together.

Speculation about their relationship first began when Taylor was seen attending Travis's games alongside his mother, and Taylor first addressed the romance after changing the lyrics at a recent show to reference Travis, before running into his arms for a kiss at the end.

And while everyone's loving their new union, it does mean Taylor's music will temporarily not be played on a Philadelphia radio station ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles' game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday.

Philadelphia radio station Q102 has removed Taylor from the schedule until the game is done, in order to show their support for their home team.

Q102 host Nugget told CBS News: "Q102 is punting Taylor Swift from the radio station for the entire weekend because while Q102 loves Taylor Swift, we can’t get enough of her, this weekend it’s really important we show our support for the Birds."

The station will once again add Taylor back into the rotation on Tuesday once the big game is over.

One of the reasons they're going so hard for it is the fact it is the first time the Chiefs and the Eagles will play against each other since they went head-to-head at the Super Bowl in February, where the Chiefs won 38 to 35.

Fans will also know that that rivalry is personal for Travis, as his brother Jason Kelce plays on the Eagles, the opposing team, so they will go up against each other once again.

According to reports from ET, the big game will also be important for another reason as Taylor's parents are allegedly expected to meet Travis's parents at the event, proving their relationship is only going from strength to strength.

Taylor's hung out with Travis's family several times while cheering him on from the VIP box at his games, while Travis was also seen hanging out with Taylor's dad at a recent concert, too.

Travis's dad, Ed Kelce, also previously praised Taylor for how down to earth she is - despite being one of the world's biggest stars of the moment - as he saw her helping to clean up the suite they were in.

He told People: "I’ll tell you something very special that I noticed about Taylor the first time I met her. We’re sitting in the suite, she gets up and in the front room, she gets up to go get a drink or something and she starts picking up empty bottles, cans, plates that are scattered around.

"Because in the suites everybody gets stuff and you empty it down wherever you can."
