Taylor Swift’s reaction to Travis Kelce’s tackle steals the spotlight: Real or performative act? – MARCA.com
Pop sensation Taylor Swift had football fans talking during Sunday’s Chiefs-Chargers game at Arrowhead Stadium.
As she cheered on her beau, Travis Kelce, a broadcast clip caught a candid moment that showcased the singer’s intense reaction to a tackle on the All-Pro tight end.
Swift’s shocking reaction
Swift, who was decked out in Chiefs gear, including a friendship bracelet with Kelce’s number 87 and two red hearts, was intensely engaged in the game.
As Kelce dropped a touchdown pass, she appeared to say “oh s-t” before quickly covering her mouth with her hands.
The video posted on X by a fan account has ignited a range of reactions on social media.
Throughout the game, Taylor was an enthusiastic and supportive presence, and she even shared a special handshake with Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
However, her reaction to Kelce’s fall during the game has garnered the most attention.
In the video that has gone viral on TikTok and X, Taylor can be seen jumping out of her seat in shock, her mouth dropping open.
She appears to be on the edge of her seat, ready to bite her nails, before covering her mouth with both hands.
The internet has mixed feelings on Swift’s reaction
Some saw this candid moment as a sign of her genuine care for Kelce, describing the moment as “adorable” and endearing.
However, others view it as performative, with some referencing her past acting roles and jokingly suggesting she deserves an Oscar for her reaction.
One comment that received a significant amount of likes read “I literally feel like I’m watching a romcom.”
Another person commented “it’s so adorable the way she’s not used to all of this yet and him getting tackled.”
But those who don’t believe the 33-year-old’s reaction threw some shade at her past acting credits saying “girl where were these acting skills when you were in movies!!!!”
Other comments in the same line said “someone get her an Oscar,” and “her acting skills are getting better.”
Regardless of people’s opinion of the candid moment, the truth is that “Tavis” is just getting started taking over both the entertainment and the sports world, so fans should get used to it.
After the game, which the Chiefs won 17-31, Swift and Kelce were spotted holding hands as they exited Arrowhead Stadium together.
Reports suggest that the new couple enjoyed an afterparty at Kelce’s Kansas City mansion, complete with food catered by a well-known barbecue food truck.
