Taylor Swift opts skipping Travis Kelce’s games to ‘protect’ him amid criticism over early season slump
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift’s absence from the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, September 29, was intentional, a tipster has disclosed.
Though the Grammy winner loves cheering on her beau on the field, his apparent early-season slump has forced her to be away from the last two games of the Chiefs. She had also skipped the Chiefs' primetime win over the Falcons in Atlanta.
She “wants to keep it low key to protect Travis from possible extra criticism,” the insider told The Sun.
Taylor Swift doesn't want Travis to ‘deal with more pressure’
The tipster, however, spilled that Taylor Swift might “go to home games for the next few weeks when her schedule allows her to".
They mentioned, “She loves him and knows that he will bounce back, but she is ready to skip some games so he doesn't have to deal with more pressure.”
Travis has failed to create magic on the field this season and Swift is doing everything to help him.
The source shared, “This rough patch for Travis on the field is something that she wants to help with him, even if it’s not coming to some games. Taylor and Travis talked the day before the game in Los Angeles, and she decided not to make it so as not to bring any unnecessary attention.”
“There is an extra spotlight on him because of his poor performances on the field and the criticism received since the start of the season. They are confident he will bounce back,” the insider added.
Travis Kelce wants to help his team win games
Meanwhile, during a recent episode of his ‘New Heights’ podcast, Travis Kelce told his elder brother Jason Kelce, as per Page Six, “I’ve had a lot of catches in this league, man. I’m not worried about the catches and the yards and all of that. I have the most fun when I get the ball thrown my way. I mean, who doesn’t?”
“It has everything to do with execution and just making sure we’re doing everything we can to win these football games. That’s always going to be the goal,” he stated.
The 34-year-old athlete, however, also mentioned, “We’re finding ways to win games, but we’re not playing our best football. Everybody can clean it up. I think everyone saw my drop in the fourth quarter with that crucial third down.”
“I think with how defenses are playing us right now, I’m not really getting a lot of opportunities to make plays down the field, but not using that as an excuse. Moving forward, [I’m] still trying to make sure that I can help the team out in that regard,” he added.
