Fans Mock Travis Kelce For Game Performance As Taylor Swift Is Absent
By Kelly Coffey-Behrens on November 5, 2023 at 1:00 PM EST
Taylor Swift is absent from the Kansas City Chiefs game in Germany this morning, and fans are mocking Travis Kelce for his performance.
Kelce has had way better games when Swift has been in the stands cheering him on. In fact, the Chiefs tight end has a total of 34 catches for 432 yards and two touchdowns in the games that the "Love Story" singer has attended.
This morning, the Chiefs took on the Miami Dolphins, a game that was played in Germany, so Swift did not travel to watch Kelce play and Kelce's performance was, let's just say, almost nonexistent.
Fans Notice Travis Kelce's Poor Performance Against The Dolphins
NFL fans are not holding back when it comes to Kelce's performance during the Chiefs vs Dolphins game, with Swift not in the stands. The Chiefs' tight end was barely been on the field all game, only having 3 catches for 14 yards -- a pretty pitiful football stat.
Many fans are not happy with how this game went, as Kelce is now even trending on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, for his poor performance.
"Travis Kelce in Germany," one user wrote alongside a video of an invisible man.

Another said, "Travis Kelce when Taylor Swift is not in attendance" alongside a video of a man saying "Let's go through the facts, the footwork, his footwork is terrible."
The guy in the video adds, "Can somebody explain this story to me on how the h--- he is on a number one list?"

"Travis Kelce when Taylor Swift isn't at the game vs. Travis Kelce when she is," another user wrote alongside two photos of Spongebob Squarepants.

Taylor Swift has been a huge supporter of Kelce’s as she has made appearances at four different NFL games to cheer on Travis Kelce. The first was on September 24, in which the “Teardrops on My Guitar” singer was spotted sitting next to Kelce’s mom, Donna.
The second time was on October 1 at the Sunday Night Football game, in which Swift arrived at MetLife Stadium alongside Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and Hugh Jackman to cheer on the Chiefs against the New York Jets.
The third was on October 12 when the Chiefs took on the Minnesota Vikings at Arrowhead Stadium. Following that game, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made separate surprise appearances during “Saturday Night Live” before the two attended the after-party. The two were spotted holding hands and kissing throughout the evenings, leaving Swifties in awe and happy for the pop star.
The most recent time was at Arrowhead Stadium when Swift hung out with Patrick Mahomes’s wife, Brittany, and Mahomes’s brother, Jackson. Following the game, the NFL star took his girlfriend on a romantic date night at an upscale steakhouse restaurant in Kansas City.
Inside Travis' Date Night With Taylor Swift
Hollywood’s hottest new couple had a romantic dinner out at an upscale Argentine steakhouse Piropos, where they spent nearly two hours inside enjoying a high-class meal and growing their relationship.. The lovebirds arrived in style as Kelce drove them in his Rolls Royce.
The restaurant usually closes at 9 pm but made special accommodations for the hot new couple as they stayed open late just for them. As they left the restaurant, hand-in-hand, Kelce proved he was a gentleman as he opened the car door and placed his hand on the “Red” singer’s back, helping her into his car and making sure she got in safely.
