Taylor Swift Has Been Accused Of “Acting” During Travis Kelce’s Football Game After Her Reaction To Him Getting Tackled Went Viral

You have probably heard by now that Taylor Swift is dating Kansas City Chiefs football star Travis Kelce, with the two putting on an incredibly public display over the last month.

If you need reminding, Travis first made his feelings toward Taylor known back in July, when he attended her Eras Tour and expressed hisdisappointmentafterward that he wasn’t able to meet her and pass on his phone number.

Fast-forward to September, and Taylor caused shockwaves whenshe attendedone of Travis’s football games.

The star was seen looking cozy with the tight end’s mom, dad, and closest friends as she cheered him on from Travis’s VIP suite at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

Since then, the pair have done little to hide their romance: Travis hasregularly discussedTaylor on his and his brother’s weekly podcast, the two have been spotted on various date nights around New York — andevery detailof these dates has subsequently been leaked to various outlets.

Taylor has also attendedmoreof Travis’s football games, the most recent of which was on Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Los Angeles Chargers.

Taylor was filmed being generally enthusiastic and supportive throughout the game and even took part in a specialhandshakewith Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Travis’s teammate and close friend Patrick Mahomes.

But there is one Taylor reaction shot that has attracted particular attention, with CBS expertly cutting to the star when Travis was tackled to the ground partway through the match.

And Taylor’s response did not disappoint, as she appeared to be incredibly concerned by Travis’s fall.

In the video, which has gone viral on both TikTok and X (formerly known as Twitter), Taylor can be seen literally shaking as she jumps out of her seat when Travis is knocked to the ground.

Taylor is wide-eyed and her mouth drops open in shock. She then appears to go to bite her nails before instead covering her mouth with both hands.

The clip has divided people on social media. Some have claimed that it is a sign of how much Taylor cares about Travis, with one popular TikTok stating that the singer is “down bad.”

“I literally feel like I’m watching a romcom,” a popular comment on the post reads. Someone else wrote, “it’s so adorable the way she’s not used to all of this yet and him getting tackled.”

Another fan added, “The way she shook when she stood up, like she was about to cry of something was wrong, I love Taylor so much for her sweetness❤️❤️”

But ironically, others have used the same clip to argue that Taylor is being performative, and that her dramatic reaction is just an act. Reposting the clip on X, a user wrote, “someone get her an oscar.”

Travis is the first professional athlete Taylor has dated during her 17 years in the spotlight, with the vast majority of her exes being either musicians or actors.

As a result, it’s fair to say that she isn’t used to how brutal sports can be, or watching somebody she cares about get caught up in the roughness of it all.

In fact, earlier this month — during her second stint in Travis’s suite — it wasclaimedthat Taylorsaidto Travis’s mom, “I don’t know how you do it,” as she seemingly struggled with her nerves while watching the game.

But with Taylor’s football appearances becoming more and more frequent, we’re sure that she’ll get used to it in no time.
