A grim-faced Travis Kelce was seen leaving the Kansas City Chiefs’ team hotel on Saturday amid reports that he and girlfriend Taylor Swift have had their first bust-up.
After a rosy start to their fairytale romance, Kelce and Swift reportedly had their first lovers’ tiff after the Chiefs’ loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day. The celebrity super-couple have dominated headlines ever since Swift publicly confirmed their relationship by rocking up at Arrowhead to watch Kelce in action for the very first time.
It has even been claimed that they are planning to get engaged in the summer, with Travis preparing to pop the question on their one-year anniversary together in July. Yet could their be trouble in paradise? According to Life & Style, Kelce ‘snapped’ at Swift on Christmas Day as the pair clashed in their first argument following the Chiefs’ loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
The NFL star is said to have let his emotions get the better of him after the defeat at Arrowhead, which left his girlfriend feeling ‘hurt and confused’. During the loss, he was also seen throwing his helmet down in fury on the sidelines. Amid reports of his spat with Swift, Kelce was seen with a stony look on his face in exclusive photos from Dailymail.com as he left the Chiefs’ hotel ahead of their crucial playoff game against the Miami Dolphins at Arrowhead.
A source is quoted as saying that the row ruined his and Taylor’s holidays given it was their first fight in five months together. And over a week later, Swift’s stressful holiday season was followed by a controversial New York Times article which questioned her sexuality. Taylor’s friends were said to be upset about the opinion piece, adding to the tumultuous fortnight she encounter after her lovers’ tiff with Kelce.
It is believed Taylor is now starting to acknowledge the challenges that come with dating a high-profile athlete, with the pop sensation even asking fellow WAG Brittany Mahomes for advice. ‘Brittany told Taylor to let Travis lick his wounds, but it wasn’t easy,’ the source is quoted as saying. Swift was reportedly a ‘nervous wreck’ when she next attended a Chiefs game on New Year’s Eve, despite being seen sharing a kiss with her boyfriend later in the evening at a glitzy party.
The prospect of another Kansas City loss ruining their celebrations was a huge worry for the singer and songwriter, but fortunately Kelce and Co prevailed in a 25-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Travis opened up on the pain of losing to Las Vegas on Christmas Day, admitting on his New Heights podcast that it was ‘the f****ng worst’. ‘That was embarrassing. Everybody in the building knows how embarrassing that was. We got a short week so we’re going to forget about this s*** real quick,’ he said.
