Travis Kelce excitedly posed with Lance Bass backstage at Justin Timberlake’s concert in Los Angeles on Wednesday – but his girlfriend Taylor Swift was nowhere to be found.
The 34-year-old NFL star – who is ‘nesting’ at the singer’s $25 million Beverly Hills mansion amid their career downtime – could be seen flashing a cheerful smile as Bass draped his arm over the footballer’s shoulders.
The NYSNC member, 44, uploaded the photo to his Instagram stories and wrote: ‘Karma is the guy on Chiefs’.
Swift notably sang those lyrics when she changed part of the track, Karma, during her Eras Tour stop in Buenos Aires to reference her budding romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
Lance also tagged Kelce in the photo while also adding the hashtag at the bottom that read “#STILLNOTTAYLORSWIFT”

Travis was stylishly casual as he dropped by the gig wearing a dark gray V-neck sweater.
He also slipped into a pair of tan baggy trousers as he added a necklace, as well as a pearl bracelet and a watch on each of his wrists.

Other celebrities were in attendance for the big night – including Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, who shared clips from the concert.
Lance is also a big fan of the Blank Space hitmaker and last year in October while attending an NFL game to watch the San Diego Chargers take on the Denver Broncos – he humorously held up a sign that read: ‘Not Taylor Swift.’
