Swifties and the sports world alike wasted no time criticizing Travis Kelce’s behavior on social media. If there’s one thing we know about the Taylor Swift fanbase, it’s that they don’t come to play, so many didn’t hold back in critiquing Kelce’s conduct, deeming it entirely inappropriate.
And critique they did, with comments ranging from calls for disciplinary action to outright disappointment. “I would have benched him immediately for that crap. Totally unprofessional,” one fan wrote. “I hope he catches all kinds of s*** for that. Yes, what a loser!” said another. And then came the relationship advice, with some fans calling for Swift to rethink her association with the athlete. “And just like that I’m suddenly less excited about Travis Kelce. You don’t get to ape up someone all aggressive like just because you’re frustrated. Taylor, my darling, my dove, my lamb, this is a big red flag,” another fan tweeted.
Later in the game, though, it appears that Kelce had a moment of clarity and realized his mistake. He reportedly made a beeline for Andy Reid for a make-up hug. “Travis Kelce just walked up and hugged Andy Reid. Reid patted him on the back,” sports journalist Mike Jones wrote on X.
