Tying The Knot

Looks like love -- and Taylor Swift -- is great for merch sales ... 'cause TMZ Sports is told Travis Kelce's jerseys flew off the shelves on Tuesday after he proposed to the pop star!

Fanatics -- the official e-commerce partner of both the NFL and the Kansas City Chiefs -- said to us in a statement on Wednesday Kelce's jersey sales spiked 200% from Monday to Tuesday.

They added the tight end's big day was his best-selling one since Super Bowl LIX -- which occurred in early February.

Swift-mania's in overdrive ... but Taylor's ex Joe Alwyn looks like he's feeling the total opposite, 'cause he's popped up for the first time since her engagement news, rocking an outfit as blue as his mood.

TMZ got the shots ... the Brit hit the London streets Wednesday with a buddy, but couldn’t muster even a hint of a grin ... a sharp contrast to his ex, who’s now riding high on engagement bliss.

Joe -- who called it quits with Taylor after 6 years together, months before she linked up with Travis in 2023 -- clearly looks down and out. Either his buddy’s a dud in the joke department ... or Joe’s really in his feelings over Taylor’s fairy tale with Trav.
