While Taylor Swift’s fans are obsessing over her public relationship with Travis Kelce, they can’t help but notice how awkward she looks at NFL games.

There seems to be no stopping the ultimate pop culture power couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. In February 2024, she made impressive moves in her music career, winning a Grammy and announcing a new album. Fans of Swift’s many popular songs were thrilled to hear the news. That same month, her Kansas City Chiefs tight end boyfriend won the Super Bowl and the pair got even more exposure.

The couple is a fascinating match since they are both equally beloved… and incredibly wealthy. Kelce is known for spending his massive net worth and Swift is now a billionaire. Besides talking about how rich and famous they are, fans can’t help but notice that Taylor Swift has seemed pretty award when attending Kelce’s games. In this article, we’ll take a look at what people have said about her behavior, along with some of the criticism he has received in the past.

Fans Think Taylor Swift Looks Awkward During Travis Kelce’s NFL Games

While of course Taylor Swift wants to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce, many are perhaps surprised that she has been such a permanent fixture at his NFL games. However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, and there have been many moments when fans think that she looks super awkward and uncomfortable.

For instance, people shared a video of Swift getting mad about a play during a Kansas City Chiefs vs. New England Patriots game in December 2023. Many news outlets picked up on the story, and the singer seemed to mouth the “f” word. Since Swift is such a huge star and people are watching her every move at football games, this wasn’t the best look.

Another uncomfortable video of Swift got lots of attention. According to Buzzfeed, Swift poked fun at Kelce’s behavior on the field. She made a “bro” gesture when talking to her friend Blake Lively, who was in the stands with her. People took notice of this and some felt that there was too much attention on Swift, not on the game itself.

Taylor Swift’s relationship with her dad and mom and their separation was the inspiration for some her best songs, including ‘The Best Day’.

ESPN also reported that Swift and Patrick Mahomes’s wife Brittany Mahomes danced during a game. Domonique Foxworth and Dan Graziano said the dance was “awkward” and mentioned that included chest bumps. There’s no doubt that this moment stood out.

Taylor Swift looked the most uncomfortable, however, when Travis Kelce made a speech and included the lyrics to the Elvis song “Viva Las Vegas.” She didn’t smile and had a serious expression on her face. Dr. Louise Mahler, who is a body language expert, spoke to Yahoo! and said:

“We can imagine how anyone super excited may have expressed themselves like this, but I think she was horrified, slightly amused, but embarrassed.”

Mahler continued that Swift’s behavior when other musicians win Grammy awards is different as she laughs and seems thrilled. But, in this case, she didn’t appear to be happy.

Mahler said:

“In this footage, she opens, then shuts and holds her mouth tightly. She does not want to open it, suggesting she does not want to say something. Her mouth is slightly smiling, but her eyes lose their sparkle. She is being polite.”

Fans noticed how unhappy the singer looked and discussed the memorable moment on Reddit. Redditor @welldoneslytherin wrote:

“she definitely got the ick.”

Taylor Swift’s smile might have been helped out with veneers, but there’s another reason fans are concerned about her teeth.

Another Redditor added, “Ok I wasn’t the only one who thought she looked appalled … this is so against her type idg why she’s doing this to herself.” Redditor @Windy_Peaks7681 thought that Swift seemed like she wanted to be anywhere but at that game: “(to me) it screams her screaming get me out of here!!!”

People also pointed out that in December 2023, the crowd booed Swift at Gillette Stadium when her image appeared on the jumbotron, according to Buzzfeed. She looked at Brittany Mahomes, who she was with, and people think that she said, “I knew this was coming.” It seems like no matter, people are going to criticize how Swift acts at these games.

But even though some people don’t think that Swift fits in at NFL games, she has shared that she loves football. When she spoke to Time Magazine when she was made the Time Person Of The Year, she said, “Football is awesome, it turns out. I’ve been missing out my whole life.”

Travis Kelce Has Been Criticized For His Behavior And Comments

Ever since the news came out about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship, people have criticized several things about him, from his tweets to his behavior.

In October 2023, people began talking about Kelce’s 2011 tweets because they were so random and strange. His tweet about squirrels got the most attention: “I just gave a squirle a peice of bread and it straight smashed all of it!!!! I had no idea they ate bread like that!! Haha #crazy.” While he didn’t say anything insulting or offensive, fans couldn’t help but laugh at his awkward comments.

Taylor Swift isn’t the only musician who has turned down the Super Bowl Halftime Show, with other big-name artists also saying no to the gig.

According to Entertainment Tonight, Kelce talked about the tweets on his New Heights podcast that he co-hosts with his brother Jason. He said, “I was just like using Twitter as like a diary. I’m just out here saying nonsense.”

That wasn’t the only time that Kelce got attention, of course. Also in 2023, he said on his podcast:

“I’m gonna find a breeder and I’m gonna get kids so that mom can love me again.”

Swift’s fans didn’t love hearing Kelce’s “breeders” comment and many would call it problematic.

While there has been a lot of negative attention on Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship, as of this writing, they still seem happy to be together. It seems very likely that Swift will keep attending as many NFL games as she can as long as she continues to date the athlete.
