Since Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship became public in September the NFL and showbiz worlds have been buzzing with excitement. The singer’s loyal fanbase called the “Swifties’ has shown plenty of love to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and she has attended several games to cheer him on.
But as their union continues to blossom in front of the entire world, some fans believe their partnership may be thrown into jeopardy due to Kelce’s actions in a clip from 2018. The video recently resurfaced on social media, which shows the eight-time All-Pro player pulling down his pants in response to trash talk from rival fans.
The Chiefs were up against the then Oakland Raiders and Kelce was on the sideline ready to enter the game when the opposing fans heckled him. The timing of the clip returning to social media is no coincidence as the Chiefs will host the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Day.
While referencing sports commentator Joe Buck, Barstool Sports posted the clip with the caption: “Nobody show this DISGUSTING ACT to Joe Buck @BussinWTB.” In response to the video, concerned for the couple’s relationship one fan said: “Taylor Swift is going to break up with him over this,” one fan wrote on social media.

Fans are worried after an old video resurfaced of Travis Kelce pulling his pants down during a game
Another added: “That’s what he does for Taylor when he gets home,” while this user posted: “Haha, that’s definitely not something you see every day! But hey, to each their own!” Despite the concerns some fans have after seeing the clip, Swift and Kelce look stronger than ever, and the couple plan to spend their Christmas holidays together.
Swift is set to attend the Chiefs’ games on Christmas Day against the Raiders and when they take on the Cincinnati Bengals on New Year’s Eve. The Chiefs got back to winning ways after defeating the New England Patriots 27-17 on Sunday at Gilette Stadium.
The defending champions will be aiming for a strong end to the regular season with just three games remaining as they hunt for the AFC’s top playoff seed. The Chiefs have hosted the AFC title game in each of the last five seasons and won two Super Bowls in three attempts, including last year’s triumph.

Kelce will not have his mother in the crowd watching him play over the festive period, as she has chosen to spend it in Philadelphia watching his older daughter Jason play for the Philadelphia Eagles. But during a conversation with People Magazine, Donna Kelce confirmed she will be at Lincoln Financial Field to watch the Super Bowl runners-up host the New York Giants on Dec. 25.
“I will be in Philadelphia for Christmas, spending time with my grandkids as we cheer on their dad,” she said. “I understand that it’s part of the job (holiday games). I embrace the holiday games and enjoy the special days with our football family.”
