Travis Kelce is experiencing his worst begin to the NFL season ever. The Chiefs tight finish had simply 4 receptions for a measly 30 yards towards the Falcons on September 22, 2024, sparking a viral “Unhappy Travis” meme. One one who was notably absent from Travis’ shocker was his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who’s been on the two earlier video games whereas on a break from her Eras Tour.
One fan on Twitter noticed that Travis “regarded like he was able to cry” whereas sitting on the sidelines. One other stated, he “appears to be like completely DONE,” with video footage of him wanting forlorn and wiping away sweat (or tears, we’re unsure).
Why wasn’t Taylor Swift on the Chiefs, Falcons recreation?
The easy purpose is that Taylor was in New York Metropolis for an evening in town with bestie Gigi Hadid, reportedly having dinner at The Nook Retailer on Broadway. It’s the primary recreation she’s missed all season and was a daily fixture final 12 months, so it’s a little puzzling (clearly no “official” clarification for her absence has been given, although, you recognize, {couples} are allowed to spend time aside).
Onlookers had been equally puzzled by the tight finish’s lackluster efficiency on the sphere. “I’m simply flabbergasted,” analyst Cris Collinsworth stated within the second quarter. “I imply, one recreation, huge deal. Two video games, alright. That is the third recreation now the place we’ve got not seen the magic of Mahomes and Kelce. And I can’t actually clarify that one.”
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tried to downplay the scenario. “The respect issue they’ve for Travis is simply unreal,” he instructed the media within the post-game press convention. “It’s well-deserved. However I imply, we’re calling plenty of performs for Travis and it’s like two or three individuals are going to him.”
He continued, “He understands. I feel that’s the beauty of him. He needs to make an influence on the sport, however he needs to win on the finish of the day. I’m going to attempt to maintain doing my greatest to maintain feeding him the ball every time he’s there, every time he’s open.”
Through the September 18 episode of his New Heights podcast, Travis defined how he doesn’t care a lot about stats anymore. “For no matter purpose, these previous two video games it hasn’t gone that means for me. That’s soccer, man. I’m not about to sit down right here and get annoyed about it,” he stated.
“I used to get actually, actually pissed off and nearly lose my cool plenty of the time from not having that success understanding I demand that out of myself. I identical to to play the sport to such a excessive degree of accountability that it’s robust for me to cope with me being mediocre or having stats that characterize that.”
