Super Bowl LIX had an anticlimactic ending for many this past Sunday. After being consecutive champions in the last two editions, the Kansas City Chiefs were defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles with a score of 40-22. This time, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift couldn’t seal the sports event with a ‘movie-like ending’ as they did last year, and instead, the tight end had to seek refuge in his girlfriend and family to cope with the defeat, while retirement rumors follow him.
Both the football player and the interpreter had a tough night at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The football player suffered a defeat and also had a questionable performance, while the interpreter not only had to console Kelce after the game but also received boos from the audience at the beginning of the match.

After the defeat, Kelce walked to the suites on level 400, where Swift and his family cheered him on during the game. The singer was accompanied in the suite near the 30-yard line by rapper Ice Spice, the HAIM sisters, Kelce's family (his mother Donna, his father Ed, his brother Jason, and his sister-in-law Kylie), and his brother Austin Swift.
During the first half, Swift and Ice Spice appeared on the big screen, where they were booed, although it seemed to be more directed at Swift, who is from West Reading, Pennsylvania, and appeared puzzled on the screen. "What's going on?" she asked.
"We were attacked," Travis said to the media after the game in a video shared on X. "In all three phases. We couldn't get it to work offensively." Regarding what went wrong during their encounter with the Philadelphia Eagles, he indicated: "There was a lot that influenced it. You don't lose like that without everything going wrong."
Despite the defeat and self-criticism, Kelce took a moment to highlight that, despite the discouraging score, the Chiefs kept fighting. "This team is going to fight until the end and you saw it," he told reporters. "Even with the score at the end, we will always fight," he added.
