The past week has been emotionally draining for Travis Kelce. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback faced a crushing 40-22 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9, but the game’s outcome wasn’t the only thing weighing on him. His girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was booed by Eagles fans during the match, and former President Donald Trump added insult to injury by mocking her in a series of social media posts.
When the jumbotron showed Swift in the stands, the crowd erupted in boos, leaving Kelce feeling helpless. A source close to the athlete told MailOnline, “Travis saw Taylor being booed, and it really affected him. He always tries to protect her, so seeing her hurt was heartbreaking for him.” The insider also noted that many Eagles fans view Swift as a “traitor” because of her Pennsylvania roots and her previous support for the team before dating Kelce.
Trump’s comments only made things worse. On Truth Social, he wrote, “Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets boos. The world is healing!” He later added, “The only person who had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. MAGA is very unforgiving!” Kelce, who had earlier expressed pride in the president’s attendance, was reportedly upset by the remarks. “Travis thought it was unnecessary for Trump to take a shot at her, especially after he had said he was honored to have the president there,” the source shared.
Despite the challenges, Kelce and Swift remain a strong couple. “It hasn’t been a great week for them—Taylor missed out on a Grammy, and Travis lost the big game—but he’s grateful for her love and support,” the insider added.
