Just in: Travis Kelce has just been permanently suspended for the rest of the season due to poor performance that led to the Chiefs’ loss to the Houston Texans last night.
Taylor Swift’s ever-passionate fanbase has leapt to the defense of Travis Kelce after his costly drop sparked a loss to the Texans – and potentially the end of the Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff hopes.
Kelce has been a legendary figure for the team for the past decade but has received criticism over the past two seasons for being past his best at the age of 36, and he has suffered a number of unfortunate on-field moments.
Another of those came in primetime on Sunday night when he dropped a catch – leading to an interception – with the Chiefs desperately trying to claw their way back into the game against the Texans.
The surprising drop led to many Chiefs fans calling for the end of Kelce’s career… but Swifties were very quick to jump in and defend the man that will soon be married to their beloved Swift.
‘All these Chiefs “fans” hating on Travis,’ one popular fan account wrote. ‘Just un-f***ing-believable. After all he’s done for KC and this is how you treat him. I hope he does retire.’
Another added: ‘He made a mistake tonight with the drop that led to an interception, but that shouldn’t take away all of what he has done for this team/city. he has put the team on his back when needed.’
A third, meanwhile, said: ‘Just the sheer amount of money Travis has brought into and put into the kc local economy should have everyone in the entire state worshipping at his feet.’
In 13 seasons with the Chiefs, Kelce is a three-time Super Bowl champion and it would be a huge shock to see the team miss out on the playoffs in what could be the tight end’s final season in the league.
With a 6-7 record, though, that outcome appears more likely than not, and it doesn’t get any easier with the Los Angeles Chargers up next – a team they have already lost to once this season.
On Sunday night, Kelce’s stunned fiancee Swift was seen watching on from his suite as she made another lowkey appearance. This time she brought friends Selena Gomez and Lena Dunham with her, while Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio was seen separately in Kelce’s suite.
