Swifties have been particularly supportive of Swift's relationship with Kelce since the singer confirmed their romance. However, their admiration for the  Kansas City Chiefs tight end seems to be on the decline following an incident at the Super Bowl matchup between his team and the 49ers.

The incident in question was about Kelce angrily berating his coach, Andy Reid, when his teammate, Isiah Pacheco, fumbled a pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Adding to the tension, Kelce also physically pushed the 65-year-old.

While the Chiefs ended up winning 25-22, Swifties took to social media to call out Kelce and even predicted that the "Midnights" crooner might break up with him soon due to the rage that was displayed on the field.

A second fan commented: "Travis Kelce hitting Andy Reid is unacceptable. Taylor Swift should break up with him immediately. That behavior is disgusting and should not happen in sports."

One more person penned, "Taylor Swift is about to break up with Kelce after he assaulted his head coach on national television. She's already writing her next song as we speak."

According to reports, Swifties weren't the only ones concerned about Kelce's outburst. His actions were also said to have "surprised" the pop star and her friends, who see it as a "red flag."

"Honestly, Travis yelling at Coach Reid like that was surprising and a little bit concerning to Taylor's friends simply because they were not aware that he even had a side to him like that," a source told the Daily Mail.

The insider claimed that Swift's friends believe that Kelce should have "handled himself with a bit more dignity than to scream at his coach like that," even though a lot was at stake as the Super Bowl is the "biggest game of the year."

The source continued, "This was his first red flag as far as Taylor's friends are concerned, and even Taylor seemed a bit surprised. Being the professional that she is, she has never flipped out on anyone like that."

During the press interview after the game, Kelce downplayed the incident, saying he was only angry because he "wanted the score to be different."

He then heaped praise on Reid, describing him as "one of the best leaders of men" he has seen all through his ten-season stint in the NFL.

Kelce added about Reid, "He's helped me a lot with that, with channeling that emotion, with channeling that passion. I owe my entire career to that guy and being able to kind of control how emotional I get and just love him."

On his part, Reid also noted that whatever tension the incident caused was settled immediately after the win.
