WATCH: Travis Kelce looks miserable on Chiefs bench in viral video as Taylor Swift skips Atlanta game

ATLANTA, GEORGIA: A clip of Travis Kelce looking miserable on the Kansas City Chiefs bench has gone viral after he struggled during their 22-17 win against the Atlanta Falcons while Taylor Swift skipped the game on Sunday, September 22.

Kelce, who only had four catches for 30 yards, was seen rubbing his right eye before staring straight gloomily as he sat on the bench at the end of the first half, per The Daily Mail.

Travis Kelce's miserable look on the Chiefs bench goes viral

It has been a rare sluggish start to the season for Kelce as he looks to add a fourth Super Bowl ring to his collection in 2024. His recent off-night came after Swift failed to appear at a Chiefs game for the first time this season.

Swift was absent in Atlanta despite her free schedule as she enjoyed a break from her international Eras Tour. She was spotted on a lowkey night out with Gigi Hadid in New York City on Saturday, September 21, where she donned a plaid miniskirt at The Corner Store restaurant in SoHo, per the news outlet.

However, Swift attended the Chiefs' opening two games of the 2024 campaign, which took place in Kansas City. She also traveled thousands of miles following the team last season, even traveling from Tokyo to Las Vegas to make it to the Super Bowl in February 2024.

Despite Swift's no-show, the Chiefs survived their first away game of the season on Sunday as they defeated the Falcons 22-17. Patrick Mahomes made it his third straight game with an interception to start the season. However, Rashee Rice's 110 receiving yards and a touchdown took his team to a 3-0 start.

The Falcons took the ball back with 2 minutes and 26 seconds remaining in the game but couldn't capitalize in front of their home fans.

Travis Kelce could face punishment for his trademark celebration

Travis Kelce could face a hefty NFL penalty for his signature 'bow and arrow' celebration after Cincinnati Bengals' Andrei Iosivas performed it several times during their loss against Chiefs in Week 2, per Mirror.

The move, which has also been adopted by Taylor Swift and used during her performances, has caused Iosivas a $5,305 fine for what was dubbed by the league as 'unsportsmanlike conduct/violent gesture'.

People criticized the NFL for hitting Iosivas with a penalty when Kelce has done the same without any punishment throughout his career. With a precedent set, it hints that even Kelce might face fines if he repeats the celebration in future touchdowns.
