Some Super Bowl viewers were stunned when Travis Kelce had a temper tantrum on the sidelines during the game. He screamed in the face of Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid and shoved him. But afterward, Reid seemed ready to put the incident behind them, telling ESPN that Travis wasn’t verbally attacking him but begging to be put in the game. He also brushed off Travis pushing him, which made him stumble and step back. According to Reid, the shove looked worse than it actually was. “He caught me off balance. I wasn’t watching,” he explained.
Still, Swifties found it upsetting to see a different side of the sweet friendship-bracelet-maker with whom they had become so enamored. “I speak for most of the fanbase when I say Taylor needs to leave this man, he’s assaulting a man for no reason!!!!” one fan tweeted. “Am I the only one that thinks Travis has anger management issues? I hope Taylor is watching carefully,” another wrote. On Reddit, a Travis critic expressed concern about how the optics of the outburst would possibly reflect poorly on Swift, writing, “That clip was very damning for both him and Taylor. Not good PR at all!”
Travis also got a scolding from his older brother, Jason Kelce, on their “New Heights” podcast. “You crossed the line,” he told Travis, and Travis agreed.
