Watch out for that ‘squirle’! It was business as usual for Travis Kelce as the Kansas City Chief’s left for practice early Wednesday but a heart-stopping moment for the squirrel who got in his way.
Exclusive pictures obtained by DailyMail.com show the Chief’s tight narrowly avoiding rolling his Rolls over the furry creature as he headed out to Arrowhead Stadium shortly before 8am.
Kelce’s misspelling of the word squirrel was the target of good-natured ribbing from his brother, Philadelphia Eagles player Jason, 36, recently when old tweets posted by the star in 2011 emerged in which he excitedly spoke of giving a ‘squirle a piece of bread.’
Kelce sheepishly rued both spelling ‘like a jacka***’ and using Twitter ‘like a diary.’ Safe to say all he gave the squirrel this morning was a nasty fright.

Taylor Swift spent time with her BFF Selena Gomez on Tuesday night, even as she was set to be feted at a ceremony for Time Magazine’s Person of the Year gala
While girlfriend Swift jetted to New York City Tuesday to enjoy an early birthday dinner with Selena Gomez and friends in the city’s hippest members club Zero Bond, Kelce stayed in Kansas to record his podcast and get ready for the Chief’s game against the Patriots this weekend.
Exclusive pictures obtained by DailyMail.com show the tight end heading out in his Rolls Royce shortly before 8am.
Swift, who turned 34 today, flew out yesterday morning after a whirlwind visit to Kansas to watch Kelce and his team play the Buffalo Bills in a game that resulted in a controversial 20-17 loss.
But showing that Swift is never far from his mind her NFL boyfriend gave her a shout out on the latest episode of New Heights, the podcast he co-hosts with brother, Philadelphia Eagles player, Jason Kelce, 36.
According to Jason he and his brother’s football jerseys are the top two best sellers in the UK with Travis, 34, being number one.
Responding to his brother’s question, ‘Lot of Swifties over there in the UK?’ Travis said ‘Got to be. It’s the only reasonable solution to all this.’
He went on to give a sweet thank you and ‘shout out’ to both Jason’s wife Kyle and Swift for their support.
But while he may be clear on his feelings for Swift, Kelce’s grasp of the countries that make up the United Kingdom is decidedly foggy despite stating that geography is ‘usually his thing.’
As Jason thanked their ‘friends across the pond’ Kelce suggested they should get a live show over there sparking an excruciating exchange between the brothers over just what countries make up the United Kingdom – Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England.
It began with Jason asking, ‘Northern Ireland and Scotland are in the UK, right?’
To which Kelce confidently replied, ‘No. I think it’s just Britain. Britain is separate.’
Jason replied, ‘Britain then there’s England.’
They went onto characterize the UK as a country populated by a ‘bunch of white people that eat small portions of unseasoned food.’

Taylor Swift spent time with her BFF Selena Gomez, actor Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh Sperry on Tuesday night, even as she was set to be feted at a ceremony for Time Magazine’s Person of the Year gala.
The 34-year-old hitmaker appeared to have decided to skip the event — despite having scored the cover of the magazine’s Person of the Year issue — to celebrate her birthday a day early with her pals.
She effortlessly blended casual and chic styles with a striking leather trench coat as the trio visited the swanky members-only club Zero Bond.
Taylor had arrived in the Big Apple — where she keeps a penthouse — earlier in the day after departing Kansas City, Missouri.
She had previously been spending time with her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Taylor’s apparent decision to skip the Time gala was shocking, as she was assumed to have flown back to New York City on Tuesday for the express purpose of attending the ceremony.
But the hitmaker has long shown loyalty to her friends and members of her ‘squad,’ so she appeared to have chosen an intimate evening with Gomez and their pals over the high-profile event.
Time picked Taylor as the person who ‘best represents the eight billion people who live on this planet’
The group — excluding Gomez — were first photographed spotted stepping out of a black luxury SUV as they walked up to the club.
Keleigh led the way and Taylor followed close behind.
The Anti-Hero singer stood out in her striking tan leather trench coat, a departure from the more traditional gabardine or cotton materials.
The voluminous coat featured epaulettes and fit loosely over her svelte frame.
She wore the belt twist tied, but also buttoned up to stay extra toasty on the chilly evening.
Her look underneath was mostly covered up, but Taylor appeared to be wearing some kind of black ensemble, as its high neckline peaked out from her coat.
Although Miles bests Taylor’s 5ft11in height with his 6ft1 stature, she still seemed to tower over him thanks to her chunky black platform boots, which were decorated with thick gold Cuban links.
She accessorized her stylish look with a modest black handbag, and she covered up with black patterned tights.
The Shake It Off singer signaled that she planned to have a relatively low-key night by styling her blond locks up in a bun.
Swift held hands with Gomez as they were pictured exiting the restaurant with Keleigh and Miles.
Gomez — who recently revealed her romance with music producer Benny Blanco — looked ultra stylish in all-black.
Under her oversized black coat, the former Disney Channel star, 31, wore sheer black tights and skintight hot pants.

She had on a designer belt and a cozy sweater top.
Gomez’s lightened brunette hair flowed down her chest in voluminous strands.
Her makeup was kept soft with just a swipe of shimmery shadow on her lids and a generous application of nude pink lip gloss.
Keleigh had on a black double-breasted sport coat that hung loosely on her.
She wore it unbuttoned, revealing her cream-colored checker-print mini skirt and dark top.
The model matched Taylor with her black tights, and she wore a set of knee-high black leather boots.
Her lustrous brunette hair was parted down the middle and cascaded down her chest in fluttering waves, and she accessorized with a classic black quilted Chanel handbag.
Miles contrasted his companions with a far more casual ensemble. He had on a simple white shirt and layered it with a blue-and-white plaid shirt jacket that he left open.
The Top Gun: Maverick actor also had on black jeans with nondescript black sneakers, and he wore a black baseball cap repping The Long Drink, a Finnish version of citrusy seltzer that he has an ownership stake in and regularly promotes.

Although Taylor’s evening out didn’t appear to include a stop at the Time ceremony, it wasn’t clear where she planned to be to celebrate her birthday on Wednesday, and whether she would fly back to Kansas City to spend time with her boyfriend Travis for the big day.
The 34-year-old star tight end and Taylor have previously shown that they don’t mind celebrating holidays a bit early or late.
However, flying to New York would likely be out of the question for Travis, as he would have practice on Wednesday, and he usually records his podcast New Heights — cohosted by his fellow NFL player brother Jason Kelce — on Tuesdays.
Still, Travis has been rumored to be planning some sort of birthday bash for Taylor.
