Travis Kelce Told The Post Office To Stop Delivering To His House Because Fans Kept Sending ‘Random Sh-t'
Sure, Travis Kelce was a well-known NFL player before he started dating Taylor Swift. But his relationship with the world's biggest popstar has catapulted him to astronomical levels of fame. And there are downsides to that.
Last fall, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end dropped $6 million to buy a mansion in a gated community outside of Kansas City — a move that stemmed from his former residence turning into a "mini tourist attraction" for Swifties. And even after that move, some loonies still found their way to his home to knock on the windows in hopes of catching a glimpse of the couple.

"[Travis] had to completely move out of his house. People were just staying by his house," Travis' brother Jason said on The Big Podcast with Shaq in February. "I mean [for] safety reasons, [he had to move.] And the first day he moved into the new house … [in] a gated community, somebody knocks on the back window of the house."
But the fans who didn't want to be arrested for trespassing and stalking found another way in: through the mailbox.
Well, not literally. But on this week's episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis revealed that he had to tell the U.S. Postal Service to stop delivering mail to his house.
"The one thing you don't realize, that when somebody posts your house online, that everybody now has your address and people just send stuff to your house," Travis said. "So I literally stopped getting mail to my house. I had to stop. I had to literally tell the post office and everybody to, like, stop bringing stuff to my house. "
He then cautioned anyone who might be thinking of sending mail that their efforts would be futile.
"Anything sent to my house, send right back to the sender," Travis said. "So anybody that's just sending random sh-t to my house, uh, it's not getting to me."
Smart move, Travis. But it's only a matter of time before crazed Swifties find that P.O. Box.
