Travis Kelce was a shadow of his former self once again for the Kansas City Chiefs after Taylor Swift skipped her first NFL game of the season on Sunday night.
And as he struggled to make an impact in their 22-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, the Chiefs tight end cut a miserable figure on the sidelines in a clip which has gone viral on social media.
A fed-up Kelce, who only had four catches for 30 yards in Atlanta, could be seen rubbing his right eye before staring into space despondently as he sat on the bench at the end of the first half.
Fans were quick to notice his dejected body language, with one writing on X: ‘This man looks TIRED’.
Another posted after Taylor’s no-show: ‘He’s been Swifted.’

A third put: ‘Travis Kelce looks absolutely DONE.’
One even went as far to conclude: ‘This is his last season, whether they 3peat or not. Don’t think he gives a s**t about football anymore.’
It has been an unusually sluggish start to the season for the 34-year-old as he looks to add a fourth Super Bowl ring to his collection in 2024.
His return against the Falcons means he now has just 69 yards across three games, although he did manage to double his reception tally to eight.
Kelce’s latest off-night came after Swift failed to make an appearance at a Chiefs game for the very first time this season.
