Travis Kelce was very upset after seeing Taylor Swift get booed during the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Sunday night.
It was a difficult night for the star player. His team, the Kansas City Chiefs, lost badly to the Philadelphia Eagles, and fans made fun of his girlfriend when she appeared on the Superdome’s jumbotron.
We can now share Kelce’s reaction to the surprising moment that made Donald Trump say she had a “tougher night than the Chiefs.”
Someone close to Kelce said: “Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him.”
“He always protects her and it broke his heart. He was already having a tough night and the fact that the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn’t help. Travis knows that this hurt her and anyone can see this.”
“It’s clear to many that the Eagles fans feel she is a traitor of sorts – being from Pennsylvania and even wearing Eagles gear prior to dating him. Travis believes that it was unnecessary for Trump to take a dig at her especially after he voiced that he was honored for a president to be there.”
“After Taylor being shut out for a Grammy and Travis losing the biggest game of the year it just hasn’t been a good week for them. But he knows that even though this is not a happy ending to the season having her love gives him so much joy.”
The booing happened early in the game when Swift was shown on the big screen inside the Superdome in New Orleans.
Since most of the crowd were Eagles fans and she supports the Chiefs, the reaction was not friendly.
At that moment, Swift heard the booing, and a lip reader said she reacted by saying, “Aww what, what’s going on?”
She gave a playful side-eye look while fans continued to mock her—and that was just the beginning of a rough night for the Chiefs and their supporters.
On social media, Serena Williams stood up for her friend, posting, “I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!”
During the game, Swift stood with her famous friends, Este Haim and Ice Spice, watching the Super Bowl from her VIP suite.
In the end, the Eagles won easily, bringing an end to Kelce and the Chiefs’ long period of success.
Before the big game on Sunday night, the Chiefs hoped to be the first team to win three Super Bowls in a row.
Instead, Kelce now has to think about a big decision for his future, as rumors about his retirement continue to spread.
