Taylor Swift skips Travis Kelce’s second straight Chiefs game

She wasn’t back on the stand.

Taylor Swift was noticeably absent as the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Sunday. The “You Belong With Me” singer, 34, also skipped the team’s game against the Atlanta Falcons last weekend.

The pop star’s second straight no-show comes amid continued criticism of her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s on-court performance this season.

However, Chiefs wide receivers Rashee Rice, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman showed their solidarity before Sunday’s game by wearing custom T-shirts with various images of Kelce, 34, playing football.

Although Swift attended Kelce’s first two games, she was not in the crowd for his win against Atlanta, in which he had four receptions for 30 yards.

The tight end’s stats have been a major talking point in recent weeks, with some analysts blaming his busy personal life for his lackluster performance.

The three-time Super Bowl champion addressed his slow start to the season during Wednesday’s episode of his “New Heights” podcast.

“We find ways to win games, but we’re not playing our best football,” Kelce, 34, admitted.

“Anyone can clean it up,” he added, noting that he dropped a pass during a “pivotal” moment last weekend.

However, Kelce noted that he is doing his best to “help the team” in any way he can and is focused on getting better as the season progresses.

“I’ve had a lot of catches in this league, man. I don’t worry about the catches and the yards and all that,” he said.

“I have the most fun when I get the ball my way, I mean, who doesn’t? But it’s all about execution and just making sure we do what we can to win these football games…that’s always going to be the goal.”

Despite the Chiefs’ unusual struggles to start the season, they are still 3-0 and hoping to continue their winning streak.
