Travis Kelce reportedly felt “helpless” after his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was pelted with boos during the Super Bowl 2025 match-up between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
On Sunday, the 14-time Grammy winner, 35, appeared on the Jumbotron inside Caesars Superdome but was quickly met with loud boos from die-hard Birds fans.
The frosty reception to her presence appeared to take her by surprise with a simple three-word response.
And it seems as though the 3-time Super Bowl champ, 35, also had a hard time digesting the harsh reaction to his girlfriend’s attendance following the Chiefs’ disappointing loss.
“Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him,” a source told the Daily Mail.
“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.”
The insider claimed that many Eagles fans feel that the “Fortnight” singer is “a traitor of sorts” — given that she’s from Pennsylvania and a former Birds fan.
“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,” the source went on.
“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 Post has reached out to Kelce’s reps for comment.
The boos were later echoed by President Trump, who took to social media to to troll the singer after his brief appearance at the match-up.
“The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!” Trump wrote on Truth Social alongside a video of the moment.
The president’s jibe stung a little more given that Kelce previously said it was a “great honor” that Trump was planning to attend the game.
While Trump was spotted in the stands at the beginning of the game, he didn’t stick around for long.
The POTUS, 78, who previously predicted that the Chiefs would win, cut his losses and hit the road by halftime.
Still, Swift did receive some supportive words from retired tennis legend Serena Williams, who took to social media to share a loving message to the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker after the now-viral moment.
“I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!” the 23-time Grand Slam winner wrote on X.
