A new report reveals why Taylor Swift has missed the last two Kansas City Chiefs’ games as breakup rumors with Travis Kelce swirl.

In the age of social media and the advanced internet, it’s easy to spread rumors about celebrities and other famous people rapidly. In the case of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, there are already unconfirmed rumors that their relationship is in choppy waters.

The reason is simple: Swift, who has attended most Chiefs games since her relationship with Kelce commenced, has missed the team’s last two games. Swift was at the Chiefs’ Week 1 and 2 home games (vs. the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals) but missed their Week 3 and 4 road games against the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers, respectively.

According to a report from TMZ, Travis Kelce and the Grammy Award-winning singer “are still going strong.” The report added that Swift has presumably been absent because of rehearsals, as she is set to resume her Eras Tour later this month:

“Sources familiar with the couple tell TMZ … Taylor and Travis remain a couple, even though she hasn’t been able to make it to his last two games in Atlanta and Los Angeles. Taylor is going back on tour in a couple weeks in Florida…so it appears rehearsals may be contributing to her missing Travis’ recent games.”

Swift attended 13 Chiefs games last season, including all three AFC playoff games and their Super Bowl 58 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Predictably, the NFL has scored major ratings in Chiefs games that Swift has personally attended.

Travis Kelce and the Chiefs will try to keep their undefeated streak intact when they host Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium next Monday night.

Travis Kelce Is Off To A Surprisingly Slow Start

The Chiefs are 4-0 despite inconsistent production on offense. Notably, Kelce himself has started out slowly with only 15 receptions for 158 yards and zero touchdowns, and 89 of those yards came against the Bolts in Week 4.

With star wide receiver Rashee Rice out indefinitely with a knee injury (potentially the entire season), it’s imperative that Kelce steps up and helps the offense rediscover its usual form.

A well-known NFL analyst and former ESPN personality thinks he knows the reason behind Travis Kelce’s surprisingly slow start with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The defending Super Bowl champions are off to a perfect 3-0 start, having won three straight nail-biters that came down to the wire. But Kelce has hardly been a factor in the Chiefs’ strong start, with only eight receptions for 69 yards and no touchdowns.

Currently, Kelce is on pace for under 400 yards receiving. His “worst” statistical season since becoming a full-time starter came in 2014, when Kelce still produced a stellar 67-862-5 stat line.

During an appearance on “The Ryen Russillo Podcast”, former ESPN NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay suggested that Travis Kelce is off to a slow start because the All-Pro tight end is “out of shape” and partied way too much during the offseason:

“Every show I watch, every pregame show, halftime show, postgame show, weekday show, every broadcast I watch for the last few weeks, it’s like are we not allowed to say that he’s out of shape, that he’s been partying all offseason? He’s been jet-setting around with the most famous person probably in the entire world, that’s he drinking, going to the U.S. Open.”

Kelce is in a highly-publicized relationship with Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift, and he attended some of her “Eras Tour” concerts. Still, it’s not like he completely avoided the gym and went off his strict diet throughout the offseason.

The 34-year-old Travis Kelce could have easily walked away with three Super Bowl rings, tens of millions of dollars and a guaranteed spot in the Hall of Fame in his back pocket. But his competitive drive and will to win brought Kelce back for another year, so it’s a stretch to believe that his offseason lifestyle is what’s contributing to the slow start.

Chiefs Need The Old Travis Kelce Back

The Chiefs may be 3-0, but they’re also a few unlucky bounces away from being 1-2 or even 0-3. They were the beneficiary of several mind-numbing mistakes by the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night, and a three-peat isn’t going to be easy if the offense continues to struggle with consistency.

Kansas City needs Kelce to rediscover that All-Pro form if they’re going to repeat, especially with running back Isiah Pacheco and wide receiver Marquise Brown out long-term.
