Travis Kelce sparks debate among Taylor Swift fans with new catchphrase

Travis Kelce's catchy new phrase was caught on camera at the Kansas City Chiefs training camp but didn't quite hit the mark with Taylor Swift's hardcore followers.

The Chiefs released a compilation video showing Kelce using the catchphrase while rocking a safety guardian helmet during camp. The star tight end was mic'd up, bringing energy to his teammates from the sidelines.

Kansas City was looking for thumbs-up from NFL fans who are fans of Kelce, but they released the post when Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert was kicking off at Wembley Stadium, causing a bit of a stir among the Swifties.

They were more tuned into the concert and the unexpected tunes Swift is famed for belting out.

The Chiefs' video surfaced online just as doors were opening for Swift's Wembley Stadium gig. Swift's fans swamped the comments on X, expressing their annoyance at being sidetracked by Kelce clips while Swift captivated the stage.

A keen "Tayvis" fan page noted on X, "Dropping this during the last surprise songs of the European Eras leg is a choice." Echoing this sentiment, another Swifty posted, "Not now honey, mommy is watching the Eras Tour."

The narrative was clear across the board, with fans highlighting their preoccupation with Swift's act over Kelce's witty antics.

Swifties were mesmerized when their beloved songstress Taylor Swift shared the stage for a unique performance of her song Florida alongside Florence Welch, the iconic vocalist of Florence and the Machine.

Despite receiving a mix of reactions, Travis Kelce remains a favorite as Taylor Swift's other half in the NFL scene, as they pointed out his new "alright, nah" catchphrase. He's shown immense support for Swift's musical journey, making appearances at 14 of her concerts worldwide, with locations including Argentina, Australia, France, England, Ireland, and beyond.

During her tour, Swift gave a shout-out to her connection with Kelce, notably when she gestured towards a fan donning a Chiefs cap in the audience. The moment was captured and shared on social media, featuring Swift in a sparkling silver dress, acknowledging the fan with a nod and a point to her head.

Taylor Swift's Era Tour is set to carry on through November with six shows in Toronto, followed by three December performances at BC Place in Vancouver. Meanwhile, Kelce kicked off his training camp with the Chiefs in July, which led up to their initial preseason match, where they faced a 26-13 defeat against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Chiefs supporters were taken aback when Kelce appeared on the field for the first match of the year, participating in just one drive. He received a seven-yard pass from Patrick Mahomes, who also played only one drive in the game.

Kansas City went on to lose their subsequent preseason match against the Detroit Lions and are set to play against No. 1 overall draft pick Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears next.
