Can he “Shake It Off?”
Travis Kelce was caught on camera looking downcast during the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Atlanta Falcons Sunday night — which Taylor Swift did not attend.
A video of the athlete, 34, sitting on the sidelines has gone viral, with him seemingly wiping sweat from his eyebrow and nose before staring into the distance.
“Whoever hurt this golden retriever of a man I will fight you,” one X user wrote as the footage circulated on social media.
Another added, “If you’re feeling sad for Travis remember he goes back home to THE Taylor Swift.”
However, Kelce’s dejected appearance combined with his girlfriend’s headline-making absence led many Swifties to worry about trouble in paradise.
As breakup rumors swirled, one X user told her fellow fans to “keep it together,” writing, “Travis was not sad because they broke up come on.”
Kelce’s rep has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The tight end, notably, has had a rough start to his 12th NFL season, which kicked off earlier this month.
While his Missouri-based team has come out successful against the Baltimore Tavens, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Falcons, Kelce’s stats have been off to a slower start than in previous seasons.
The “New Heights” host addressed this on the latest episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s podcast Wednesday.

“I stopped caring about stats about four or five years ago and I just went out there and started to just play free,” Travis told listeners. “I think that’s a better mentality.”
Additionally, his teammate Patrick Mahomes spoke about the “Catching Kelce” alum’s performance over the weekend.
