Taylor Swift fans are coming to the defense of Travis Kelce after he was spotted texting during her Eras Tour concert in Singapore. The Kansas City Chiefs star, who is dating the pop icon, was caught on camera looking down at his phone while Taylor Swift performed her hit song “I Knew You Were Trouble.”
In a video obtained by TMZ, Kelce can be seen bopping his head to the music while occasionally glancing at his phone. A concertgoer sarcastically captioned the clip with “It’s giving supportive bf 👀,” implying that Kelce’s behavior wasn’t entirely supportive of Swift.
However, Swift’s loyal fanbase, known as Swifties, quickly came to Kelce’s defense. Many fans pointed out that it’s natural for people to check their phones occasionally, even during a concert, and urged others to leave Kelce alone.
“Very few people go without glancing at their phone for 4 hours at a time, leave him be 😭,” wrote one fan, echoing the sentiments of many others who defended Kelce’s actions.
Others noted that Kelce was still dancing and enjoying the concert despite briefly looking at his phone. Some fans even speculated that Swift herself probably picks up her phone during Kelce’s football games, suggesting that it’s a normal part of modern life.
Despite the minor controversy, Kelce was clearly having a great time at Swift’s concert. He was seen dancing enthusiastically with his friends, including his best friend Ross Travis, during the performance of Swift’s hit song “…Ready for It?”
Taylor Swift also made a sweet gesture towards Kelce during the show by changing the lyrics of her song “Karma” to include a reference to him. Kelce was visibly touched by the gesture, waving his hands in the air as Swift sang.
After the concert, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce shared a passionate kiss backstage, further dispelling any rumors of tension between them. The couple has been publicly dating since September and appears to be going strong despite occasional scrutiny from fans and the media.
Taylor Swift is set to perform another show in Singapore before taking a two-month break from her tour. With her devoted fanbase and supportive partner by her side, Swift is sure to continue wowing audiences around the world with her unforgettable performances.
