Taylor Swift was not in the building for the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Atlanta Falcons, but her fans tried to drum up some support for her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
Kelce did not have a great start to the game as he was not targeted in the first half, though he appeared to be open and ready to receive a Patrick Mahomes pass a few times during the first two quarters.

The NBC broadcast showed Kelce looking downcast on the bench as he reviewed some film with 59 seconds to go before halftime. Swifties definitely had their concerns.
At the start of the second half, even NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth could not believe the Chiefs were not doing more to get Kelce involved.
“I’m just flabbergasted. I mean, one game, big deal. Two games, alright. This is the third game now where we have not seen the magic of Mahomes and Kelce and I can’t really explain that one,” he said.
