Taylor Swift remains the victim of harsh words and criticism over her blossoming relationship with Travis Kelce. The NFL superstar and the singer have been scrutinized by football fans who see their romance as a distraction. These critics recently slammed the Bad Blood hitmaker and the NFL after her sweet moment with Kelce.
The drama began when the NFL updated its TikTok page with two videos depicting Swift and Kelce’s post-game celebration. The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship game. Their victory scored them a ticket to the Super Bowl, a milestone Swift proudly celebrated by kissing her man.
In one video, Swift showered Kelce in kisses on the field, holding him tight with her hands on his face. He sweetly reciprocated by giving her sides a cute squeeze while smiling. The couple’s love continued in another post where they shared multiple hugs. They were elated as they greeted fans while wrapping their arms tightly around each other.
“Travis and Taylor taking in the victory,” the NFL penned in the video’s overlay text. The football league echoed similar sentiments in the caption, dropping the words “this couple” and a heart hands emoji. Before their post, Swift was captured on video arriving at the game with her mom, Andrea Swift, on Sunday.
The Love Story singer rocked bright red leggings, black boots, and a black-and-gold hooded sweatshirt. She and her mom watched the game with her boyfriend’s mother, Donna Kelce, from a VIP suite, per TMZ. This marked one of their many appearances to support Kelce, and they were sure to reunite at the Super Bowl.
Fans Lament the NFL’s Promotion of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s Romance
News of Swift and Kelce’s post-game celebration did not sit right with many, who bashed the publicity around their love. “Why is this news, why is this chick ruining football for guys?” A critic wondered. Another echoed similar thoughts, writing, “Never thought I would actually get to the point where I truly hate the NFL… until now.”
The criticism continued with a third asking if people weren’t tired of Swift and Kelce’s love. The individual received agreements from others, with one claiming America was tired. An X user bashed the NFL for playing favorites, stressing that it wasn’t a “one-man game.” Part of their argument read:
“Is Travis Kelce the single person playing in the NFL? What about other players and their wives and girlfriends and families showering them with love after the win.”
These critics were not alone, as We previously covered the hate Swift received for supporting Kelce during his games. She was hailed as the Kansas City Chiefs’ lucky charm, as the team performed better in her presence. However, the report displeased many, who hoped the couple wouldn’t return to the Super Bowl.
The hate for Swift and Kelce’s romance stemmed from the latter’s slow performance at the start of the season. Football fans blamed his subpar abilities on the singer as rumors alleged their relationship was on the rocks. Additionally, some blamed her for running around the globe with the athlete during the offseason.
