Travis Kelce's Costly Mistake Leads To Taylor Swift Being Labeled A 'Jinx' By Angry Chiefs Fans

Some Kansas City Chiefs fans have blamed Taylor Swift after Travis Kelce's costly drop led to a 20-10 loss to the Houston Texans, leaving the team with just a 15% playoff chance.

Some joked Swift was a "jinx," while others defended Kelce, citing his strong season and contributions to KC. With his contract expiring, speculation about his future grows.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift reportedly plans to marry Travis Kelce on June 13, 2026, at Ocean House, a date fans note aligns with her favorite number 13 and holds deeper numerological significance.

Kansas City Chiefs fans are lashing out at Swift after she witnessed her fiancé, Kelce's rough outing in the team's loss to the Houston Texans, a defeat that now threatens the Chiefs' postseason chances.

Despite Kansas City's long-standing dominance, appearing in five of the last six AFC championships, the team is suddenly at risk of missing the playoffs after Kelce failed to secure a pass from Patrick Mahomes that was picked off by Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair.

The mistake contributed to the Chiefs' 20-10 loss, their seventh of the 202526 season, leaving them with just a 15% chance of advancing.

Frustrated fans took to social media and singled out Swift as the scapegoat, insisting that she was a "jinx" on the team.

One angry fan posted, "It's looking like the Taylor Swift curse is real, KC," while another wrote, "What is up with the Kansas City Chiefs? The curse of Taylor Swift? I mean, they super suck."

"Taylor Swift ruined that football team," a fourth fan chimed in after the Chiefs' loss, per The Mirror.

One supporter even launched a poll asking whether the Chiefs' struggles were due to the end of their dynasty or "because of Taylor Swift." At the time of reporting, "Dynasty is over" held the lead, but only by a small margin.

Swift was in attendance at Arrowhead Stadium, joined by Selena Gomez and actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Lena Dunham, and is expected back on December 14 when the Chiefs host the Los Angeles Chargers.

Amid the harsh criticism over Kelce's performance, some Swifties quickly jumped to the tight end's defense.

Many blasted Chiefs supporters for turning on the NFL star, pointing out his years of loyalty and on-field success.

"All these Chiefs' fans hating on Travis," one fan posted. "Just un-f-cking-believable. After all he's done for KC, and this is how you treat him. I hope he does retire."

Another added, "Just the sheer amount of money Travis has brought into and put into the KC local economy should have everyone in the entire state worshipping at his feet."

Despite the backlash surrounding Sunday's game, Kelce is still having a strong season, with five touchdowns and 719 receiving yards, the second-highest among tight ends in the 2025 campaign.

But even with his on-field production, questions about his future continue to loom large.

With his contract set to expire in a few months, speculation has intensified that this may be Kelce's final season in the NFL.

The tight end has yet to confirm whether he plans to retire or seek a new deal.

Away from the field, Kelce earns an additional $5 million a year through major endorsement deals with McDonald's, Papa John's, Nike, and Bud Light.

The 36-year-old also co-hosts the wildly popular "New Heights" podcast with his brother Jason, a show that has built a massive following since launching in 2022.

Speaking to reporters last month, the 10-time Pro Bowler said he intends to wait until the end of the 2025 season before making a final decision about his playing career.

He added that while the choice won't be easy, he wants to give the Chiefs enough time to prepare for whatever comes next.

Meanwhile, multiple insiders told Page Six that Swift is determined to wed Kelce on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Ocean House in Watch Hill.

The pop superstar reportedly went as far as compensating a couple who had already reserved the venue that day to secure it for her wedding.

While previous reports suggested the ceremony might take place at Swift's Watch Hill estate, sources say that plan was likely impractical.

Ocean House, a luxury hotel and event space just steps from her home, quickly became the couple's preferred location as they expanded their guest list.

The June 13 date also appears to hold personal significance: Swift, 35, was born on December 13, making the wedding day her "half-birthday."
