Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce continue to capture the hearts and attention of millions, not just with their undeniable chemistry but also with the way they complement each other in public. From their gestures toward fans to the way they celebrate, the couple appears to be in perfect sync. However, while the couple may have found a match in each other, they have also become the target of backlash from some fans.
As Taylor Swift moves from the 67th Annual Grammy Awards to New Orleans for Super Bowl 59, set for February 9th, all eyes are on the pop star. Despite her overwhelming success and Grammy wins, some fans are still critical of the couple, particularly in light of Taylor’s apparent absence from Kelce’s major events, including this year’s Grammys. Swift, who wore a red tea charm on her leg and a stunning Vivienne Westwood mini dress at the Grammys, sent a thoughtful message to Kelce, who was busy in New Orleans preparing for the big game. While Swift didn’t win in any of her six Grammy nominations, she still used the event to show her support for her boyfriend from afar, something that didn’t sit well with certain fans.
The criticisms are mainly centered around Kelce’s absence at the Grammys. One fan commented, “Why does Taylor go to all of Travis’s games but he doesn’t bother to go with her to award shows? It seems one-sided.” Another added, “Why does Taylor Swift go to Chiefs games but Travis Kelce can’t attend?” Some even called the situation “exploitative,” pointing to an imbalance in the couple’s relationship dynamics.

The reality, however, is that both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are extremely busy with their respective careers. Swift had an obligation to perform at the Grammys in LA, while Kelce had to prepare for a major game in New Orleans. Their respective schedules are undoubtedly demanding, and not every moment can be spent together.
Despite the backlash, there are plenty of signs that Taylor Swift will be at the Super Bowl in New Orleans to support Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs. The “Anti-Hero” singer has attended several of Kelce’s games since they began dating in 2023, and it’s likely she will be in attendance again. Swift was recently spotted celebrating with Kelce at the Chiefs’ victory over the Buffalo Bills on January 26th, where the couple shared a public display of affection on the field.
As the Super Bowl approaches, the question on everyone’s mind is whether Kelce will propose to Swift. The 35-year-old NFL star remained tight-lipped about the possibility when asked at the Super Bowl opening night event. When a reporter asked if he planned to pop the question, Kelce replied with a smile, “Wouldn’t you like to know?” keeping fans guessing.
Kelce spoke warmly about his relationship with Swift, saying that he admired her work ethic. “I better hold up my end of the bargain,” Kelce remarked. “She’s out there being the superstar she is, never taking no for an answer, and always working her tail off.” When asked about his favorite food that Taylor makes, Kelce gushed about her homemade poptarts, calling them “unbelievable.”
As Kelce prepares for the Super Bowl, which will see the Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a repeat of the 2023 matchup, there’s no doubt that his focus is on the game. The Chiefs are aiming for their third consecutive Super Bowl victory, a feat no other team has achieved. While Kelce’s future in the NFL remains uncertain after this season, he’s made it clear that he loves the game and plans to keep playing as long as possible.
Despite the challenges that come with being in the public eye, including negative reactions from some fans, Kelce and Swift’s relationship remains strong. As the Super Bowl draws near, fans will continue to watch closely for any signs of a proposal or any other major steps in their relationship. But one thing is for certain: when the confetti falls on Super Bowl 59, there will likely be more than just football on everyone’s minds.
