The couple has been in the spotlight for a few months now, especially after Swift made a significant trip from her tour in Japan just to watch Kelce play in the Super Bowl.

In a thrilling match, Kelce's team, the Kansas City Chiefs, clinched victory with a last-minute touchdown in overtime, a moment of high drama and celebration.

However, it wasn't just the victory that grabbed attention; an exchange between Kelce and Chiefs coach Andy Reid became a focal point for Taylor Swift's followers.

Yet, the manner in which Kelce interacted with Reid during the game has sparked controversy among fans.

Footage and photos from the Super Bowl depict Kelce yelling in Reid's face during the game, and at one point, he appeared to shove him.

This behavior has led some to suggest Kelce should be bened for his actions, but Swift's fans have taken their criticisms a step further.

They've flooded social media, suggesting that Swift should end her relationship with Kelce, citing his behavior as a 'red flag'.

One concerned fan stated: "Taylor needs to leave this man and save her reputation. Stop blaming the NFL on her, blame the journalists... look at this lunatic."

Another shared their change of heart regarding Kelce, saying: "And just like that I'm suddenly less excited about Travis Kelce."

"You don't get to ape up someone all aggressive like just because you're frustrated. Taylor, my darling, my dove, my lamb, this is a big red flag."

A third fan questioned Kelce's actions: "What kind of man assaults his coach for taking him out for a play? I hope Taylor Swift breaks up with Travis Kelce after the game."

Another swiftie added their voice to the discussion, emphasizing: "Hey #swifties! I speak for most of the fanbase when I say Taylor needs to leave this man, he's assaulting a man for no reason!!!!"

"He was really coming over [and saying], 'Just put me in, I'll score. I'll score.' So, that's really what it was. I love that."

Kelce himself reflected on his behavior, explaining that the intensity of the moment got to him: "I wanted the score to be different."

"Coach has asked us to speak our minds and I just wanted to let him know how much passion I had for this team."

"He's one of the best leaders of men I've ever seen in my life. And he's helped me a lot with that, with channeling that emotion, with channeling that passion."

"I owe my entire career to that guy and being able to kind of control how emotional I get and just love him."
