Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and boyfriend of Taylor Swift, found himself at the center of controversy following his post-US election 2024 Instagram message
On Wednesday, Kelce posted a collage of images from the Chiefs’ exciting 30-24 overtime victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a “Monday Night Football” game. While it showed celebratory moments of the game, it elicited mixed reactions from his followers as it was published right after the election results.
While many were celebrating the athletic victory, others criticized Kelce for entering so quickly after President Donald Trump‘s election to serve a second term over Vice President Kamala Harris.
The post was also coming at a time when there was immense political tension, and some saw it as out of place in a celebratory tone compared to the weight of the events that are happening in the country.
The social media personality of Kelce-a bold and enthusiastic one-is always bound to generate a lot of controversy.
Even though his girlfriend, Taylor Swift showed her support for Harris during the election, Kelce said nothing on the political scene and didn’t endorse any political candidate publicly. However, Kelce was seen voting on Election Day, and although he didn’t make a statement on other political issues, this spot was covered as evidence of influence and voice.
The sports victory with a pivotal political moment has left the followers divided, some praising the excitement for the game and others questioning the Kelce’s insensitivity to the political climate.
