'She stole Travis Kelce's talent': Bizzare 'Taylor Swift curse' theories take over Internet after Chiefs' loss to Raiders on Christmas Day

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: On Christmas Day, fans of the Kansas City Chiefs were left disheartened as their team, including stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, suffered a 20-14 defeat to their AFC West rivals, the Las Vegas Raiders, at Arrowhead Stadium.

Despite a valiant effort towards the end, the Chiefs couldn't mount a full comeback, bringing their season record to 9-6. A video capturing Kelce's frustration has drawn significant attention.

In another twist, the spotlight has shifted to Taylor Swift, who is reportedly in a relationship with the Chiefs' tight end and whom she described as "metal as hell."

The couple, who have been seen together at various significant events, have constantly been in the news.

As the Chiefs struggle, fans are questioning whether the 'Karma' singer, once considered a good luck charm, has become a "curse."

The peculiar "Taylor Swift curse" has been gaining traction online, especially after the Chiefs' Christmas Day defeat.

Travis Kelce's frustration on the field caught on video

Following a failed fake punt attempt, which led to the Raiders scoring 14 points via defensive touchdowns in just 7 seconds, Travis Kelce's frustration reached a boiling point.

He removed his helmet, began yelling, and then hurled it towards the sidelines, where it ricocheted into the staff area.

Fortunately, no one was physically injured.

However, fans have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction with Kelce, criticizing him for spending too much time on promotions and not enough on the field.

"Too much time working on Pfizer commercials, not enough time on the practice field," said a user on social media. 

Is Swift to blame for the Chiefs' loss to the Raiders?

Kelce's performance tends to improve when Swift is present at the games. To date, he has made 49 catches for 627 yards and scored two touchdowns when she’s watching, averaging seven catches and 89.6 yards per game.

In contrast, in the games where Swift was not present this season, Kelce has made 36 catches for 300 yards and scored three touchdowns, averaging six catches and 50 yards per game, per Y! Sports. 

In a rare occurrence, Kansas City lost the subsequent two games that Swift attended. They managed to regain some ground in New England, although their performance against the now-3-11 Patriots was not particularly impressive.

This season, the Chiefs have been struggling with receiving issues, making their offense appear less powerful than in previous seasons.

While Patrick Mahomes has been consistent, dropped passes by receivers have led to losses.

Interestingly, some are attributing the Chiefs' loss in four of their past seven games to Swift, per The Sporting News.

Bizzare 'Taylor Swift curse' theories take over the internet

While one user tweeted, "So are we going to acknowledge the Taylor Swift curse or…?" another added, "Is there a more annoying human being on planet Earth than Taylor Swift?"

"Patrick Mahomes to Taylor Swift after she stole all of Travis Kelce’s talent," reacted another. 

"This is absolutely despicable, my 4 year old kid just ran around screaming “fuck god” thanks taylor swift, you ruined my families christmas," stated another. 

Another person mentioned, "Travis Kelce ever since he started dating Taylor Swift."
