Travis Kelce Battles Lawsuit Days Before Taylor Swift Wedding

NFL star Travis Kelce is facing a legal battle just days before his lavish wedding to pop superstar Taylor Swift. According to documents obtained by TMZ, Kelce and his teammate Patrick Mahomes are fighting a lawsuit filed by shoe company 1587 Sneakers in New York federal court.

The athletes argue they lack sufficient ties to New York to be sued there, but the company claims the NFL pros regularly appear in national ad campaigns, giving the court jurisdiction. The case centers on the restaurant 1587 Prime, which opened in September 2025 in Kansas City and is named after the players' jersey numbers: 15 for Mahomes and 87 for Kelce.

1587 Sneakers says its name honors the year Filipino sailors first arrived in America and claims it trademarked '1587' long before the football stars used it. The company is seeking to stop Kelce and Mahomes from using the name for their steakhouse.

Meanwhile, as TMZ previously reported, Travis Kelce had bigger priorities: his wedding to Taylor Swift over the weekend. The legal dispute is unlikely to overshadow the couple's happiness but could pose a challenge to Kelce's business ventures.

The case has drawn attention from legal experts debating jurisdiction over celebrities. Its outcome may set a precedent for how future lawsuits against high-profile individuals involved in national advertising are handled.
