FAME-HUNGRY TRAVIS SMOTHERING TAYLOR!

Swift orders pigskin star to back off!

FREE SPIRIT Taylor Swift is feeling smothered by her overly fond football fanboy Travis Kelce and has told the clingy caveman in no uncertain terms to back off and give her some air, sources squeal!

"He's obviously making the most of his relationship with Taylor," snips an insider. "He's getting free VIP passes to her shows, entry into A-list clubs in New York and L.A., and using his newfound popularity as Taylor's arm candy to cut commercial deals.

"But Taylor isn't THAT smitten with him and she needs her space! She finds him increasingly annoying, and the way he blabs about her on his podcast is just so wrong in her book of etiquette!"

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end barely left his superstar sweetheart alone for a second when he visited her on the Australian leg of her tour, sources dish.

And the moment the blabby beefcake got back from Singapore where he watched Taylor perform a double-header in two consecutive concerts - he dished the details on his podcast with his jock brother and co-host, Jason Kelce!

"He plans on showing up at her European concerts in May, too, regardless of whether she asks him or not," huffs an insider. "He's probably got his bags packed!"

As GLOBE previously reported, sources say the bloom is already off for the rosy-cheeked songstress as she frets about her guy's gaffes and cringeworthy public displays.
