Swifties cheer Taylor Swift over panicked 6am call to Travis Kelce after Chiefs parade shooting
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA: Taylor Swift reportedly panicked after learning about the shooting incident during the Kansas City Chiefs parade in Kansas City, prompting her to reach out to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce immediately, according to sources. This elicited empathy from Swift's fans, who expressed their well wishes for her.
Kelce recently found himself under scrutiny from Swift's fanbase, following a viral clip showing him appearing intoxicated during the Chiefs parade. Struggling to complete a song during the parade due to his inebriated condition, Kelce's performance led teammates Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones to intervene.
Moreover, the internet has been rife with conspiracy theories connecting the tragic shooting at the Kansas City Super Bowl parade to Swift and Kelce. Some audacious theorists have even suggested that the incident was orchestrated by the duo to garner support for President Joe Biden and advocate for stricter gun control laws.
