Travis Kelce is being criticized for putting Taylor Swift before football.
Following the criticism directed toward Travis Kelce's performance in early-season NFL games, the football player is under pressure, which is in no little part due to his relationship with Taylor Swift, who is notorious for being his girlfriend.
Star Magazine revealed that "people want to blame Taylor" for the 34-year-old's "game not being what it used to be and for being out of shape." This is because Taylor spent the offseason traveling around the world with the pop star, who is also 34 years old.
"He caters to her wants and needs," the insider added of Travis, who has attended several of Taylor's Eras Tour concerts worldwide, routinely attends parties with her A-list friends and recently had a boozy trip to the United States.
“She’s not the best influence when it comes to sticking with the health and fitness regimen. But clearly, she comes first in his life.”
Travis's failure to show up for the premiere of "Grotesquerie," his first acting role in the Ryan Murphy series, has also been a source of criticism.
The NFL star has allegedly overindulged in food and enjoyment, and according to the insider, he also doesn't think it's vital to support the individuals who gave him his casting break. Honestly, Travis's NFL schedule is jam-packed.
According to the source, when another show called "Are You Smarter than a Celebrity?" is scheduled to air the following month, he will be split between football and Hollywood. He is being instructed to take both of them seriously and to concentrate.
Despite Travis's difficult start to his football season with the Kansas City Chiefs, he is off to a fantastic start in his Hollywood career. As a result of his performance in the FX series Grotesquerie, the show's director, Ryan Murphy, is giving him excellent feedback, and his cherished girlfriend, Taylor, is also giving him significant support.
Murphy has revealed some information about Taylor's reaction to her boyfriend's role, which provides significant insight into the nature of their relationship.
"The only thing that [Travis and I] talked about was that she is very supportive of him, and if he has an interest, she wanted him to try it," Murphy said in an interview with E! News on September 23. “I was thrilled about that.”
The show creator also praised the athlete’s talent, noting, “A star is a star is a star—and he’s a star.”
Murphy said that Travis is charming, intelligent, and charmingly handsome. Time was of the essence for him. For some reason, he wanted me to come up with an idea. He added that Travis Kelce has the potential to become a major Hollywood star if he desires to do so. He reportedlyhas acting chops, as you can see on the show. Everything is at his fingertips. Without limits, Travis is said to be capable of everything.
That’s a rave review from the prolific showrunner, and it lines up with how Taylor has addressed her relationship with Travis, whether he’s on the football field or TV.
“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there, and we don’t care,” Taylor told TIME Magazine in December 2023.
“The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
The superstar and her lover have remained steadfast in their commitment to supporting each other's endeavors, and neither has wavered from their position.
After celebrating their first anniversary together, the dynamic couple is adjusting to the intense scrutiny they are receiving as an A-list couple. At the same time, they are settling into a routine that includes planning for their future together. They've established a great deal of trust. According to the source, both of them were aware of what they were getting themselves into and were able to navigate it successfully.
“Staying in is a luxury for them. They enjoy cooking dinner together. It’s a refreshing contrast to their [public] lives,” a second insider added.
Therefore, Taylor's support of her boyfriend in every aspect of his profession, just as he does for her, should not come as a surprise to anyone. In both their professional and personal lives, they are each other's strongest advocates.
