LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Super Bowl LVIII has been won by Kansas City Chiefs, and amid the excitement of the win, Travis Kelce's actions toward Chiefs head coach Andy Reid have stirred controversy online.

In a clip from the game, the Chiefs tight end can be seen aggressively pushing and screaming at his coach, drawing criticism from social media users.

Adding to the buzz, Kelce recently sparked speculation and concern among social media users when he revealed that he has no plans to propose to his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, at the Super Bowl. His sole focus remains on securing the Super Bowl ring.

Kelce further captured attention when Swift paid tribute to him during her Tokyo leg of the Eras Tour, performing her song 'You're on Your Own, Kid.' The clip of the performance quickly went viral on TikTok, generating widespread discussion.
