Travis Kelce’s week took a turn for the worse after the Kansas City Chiefs’ 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9. But the game’s outcome was just the start of his troubles. During the match, his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was booed by Eagles fans, and former President Donald Trump later mocked the incident, leaving Kelce heartbroken.
A source close to Kelce told MailOnline that the athlete was deeply affected by the crowd’s reaction to Swift. “Travis saw Taylor being booed, and he felt helpless. Seeing her reaction really got to him,” the insider shared. “He always tries to protect her, so this was really hard for him to watch.” The source 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 added to the drama. 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.
