Last month, the Kansas City Chiefs saw their hopes of a historic three-in-a-row Super Bowl win dashed, and it seems Travis Kelce is now considering hanging up his boots for good.
And as the star athlete decides whether retirement could be on the horizon, a source tells heat that he and girlfriend Taylor Swift are unsure of how their future looks together – with TayTay scared she’s going to come under fire again.
When Travis, 35, and his teammates faced their NFL heartbreak earlier this year, Taylor, 35, was just one of the familiar faces in the crowd. The Eras Tour icon has often been seen cheering on her beau since the pair began dating in the summer of 2023.
This time, however, she did not get the warm welcome she’s used to, with fans booing her when the camera panned to her in the stands. And with Travis now ‘seriously considering’ walking away from the sport for good, Taylor’s vote could be the deciding point when it comes to her beau’s future.
However, although quality time with her man is a big plus, we’re told Taylor can’t help but worry whether NFL fans might direct their disappointment her way.
‘Travis swears Taylor isn’t pressuring him into anything, and she’ll support him either way – but it’s well known that she’s longing to settle down,’ our source says of the pop star, who was recently spotted fawning over friend Brittany Mahomes’ new baby pictures.
‘A big plus in him retiring would be getting to spend more time together, as they both miss each other terribly when he’s away training or playing matches on the other side of the country.
‘However, getting booed at the Super Bowl was a big knock to Taylor’s self-esteem, even though Travis has reassured her that it was just rival fans trying to get a rise out of her. It was upsetting for her and she does feel unfairly treated by the sports fans sometimes, so she’s understandably scared of what’s to come.’
