Travis Kelce fans are rallying around the sportsman after a clip of the ‘frustrated’ star went viral on social media amid Taylor Swift’s NFL absence.

AFC West leaders Kansas City Chiefs headed to Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday (September 23) where they beat The Falcons 22-17.

The close shave means Andy Reid’s side remains undefeated, having already claimed victories over the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals earlier in the season.

While 34-year-old Taylor Swift had attended both Chiefs home games at the Arrowhead Stadium, she reportedly didn’t make an appearance in Atlanta to watch Travis Kelce, 34, clock up four catches for 30 yards in his team’s first NFL away match.

MailOnline reports that the ‘Blank Space’ singer was instead spotted out on Saturday night in New York City with model and friend Gigi Hadid, 29.

Despite Swift not being present in Atlanta, the Chiefs honored the hitmaker ahead of the game.

Taking to social media, the team posted a picture to Instagram with the caption ‘Happiness. Fun. Magic’.

The quote is a nod to Swift’s recent MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech where she gave a public nod to the three-time Super Bowl champion.

Following the game, a clip of tight end Kelce looking ‘frustrated’ on the Chiefs bench has gone viral across X.

The five-second segment sees the star rubbing his face before looking out onto the field with his helmet off.

After viewing the clip, sports fans have come out in their droves to defend Kelce, with one claiming: “Listen up, folks! Travis has super-high expectations. However, Andy [Reid] is giving chances for other Chiefs players to build their experience before the team enters playoff season. Kelce is tough! He will be contributing more as the season moves on!”

Meanwhile, someone else said: “Travis Kelce looks absolutely DONE.”

A third claimed: “He is frustrated. Gosh. He is questioning himself In the pod last week. Damn I feel his frustration.”

And a fourth said he looked ‘devastated’.
