The Kansas City Chiefs dropped a new TikTok video on Monday that asked each player to reveal the "most famous person" in their contact list.

The 34-year-old tight end was the first up, and the interviewer quickly addressed the elephant in the room as he joked, "Don't give us the easy answer. We know the easy answer!"

Travis broke into a smile, doubling down on the allusion to his girlfriend as he added, "You guys know the easy answer."

So, which star holds the number two spot for the Super Bowl champ? That would be Justin Timberlake, with Travis hilariously admitting there was "not a chance" JT would pick up his call.

The shout-out comes after Taylor and Travis spent the weekend apart as they both kept busy with professional obligations in Los Angeles.

Though Travis traveled with the Chiefs to face off against the Chargers on Sunday, the athlete was benched to prevent injury ahead of the first week of playoffs.
