At 250lbs, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis could almost be mistaken for Taylor’s security personnel, and her family are said to be delighted that he doubles up as a ‘built in bodyguard.’

‘Taylor’s family and everyone who knows her is so relieved by her relationship with Travis – not only because she is madly in love but also because he makes her security personnel job much easier,’ a source exclusively told DailyMail.com.

‘Travis is a big dude and no one would mess with him because, when it comes to Taylor, he would not play if someone tried to come near her. She has a built-in bodyguard at all times.’

A source said: ‘Travis is a big dude and no one would mess with him because, when it comes to Taylor, he would not play if someone tried to come near her. She has a built in bodyguard at all times’

Another joked: ‘The thing with Travis acting as Taylor’s personal bodyguard as well as her boyfriend is that I would be way more scared of him tackling me than any random bodyguard…’

Travis was said to be upset following a recent incident involving her father Scott Swift and an Australian photographer he was accused of assaulting over his alleged ‘threatening’ behavior.

Scott, 71, was accused of striking Ben McDonald, 51, at a ferry wharf in the suburb of Neutral Bay at about 2.30am on Tuesday, after Taylor wrapped the Australian leg of her Eras tour.

Taylor’s team said the photographer ‘threatened to throw a female staff member into the water’.

Footage from the moments before the alleged altercation showed Scott walking up wharf while giving photographers the middle finger.

‘Travis wishes he had been with Taylor when her dad got into it with the photographer as he wants to protect her at all costs,’ a separate source told DailyMail.com.

‘He can’t wait for her to be back in the States so they can be together – and if anyone tries anything, he knows that photographers, or anyone else for that matter, wouldn’t dare come close to them if he was around as he is a very massive and intimidating guy.’

A spokeswoman for Taylor Swift told Daily Mail Australia: ‘Two individuals were aggressively pushing their way towards Taylor, grabbing at her security personnel and threatening to throw a female staff member into the water.’
