Taylor Swift takes initiative to help Travis Kelce get back in shape amid criticism
The source mentioned, “All the commentators are saying that he partied like a monster during offseason, and he’s only got himself to blame for being out of shape and out of form.”
The source noted that Swift feels a sense of guilt over the situation, stating, “Taylor and Travis both insist it’s being blown out of proportion, but there’s no doubt Taylor feels a little guilty that it’s gotten to this point because it is true that he spent his offseason living the good life with her.”
Kelce, 34, has reportedly been criticized for enjoying his offseason, with commentators suggesting he indulged too much during that time. The insider shared that following training camp, Kelce let his diet slide, opting for social outings with Swift and her friends, which included parties and celebratory dinners.
“Even after training camp he was off his diet and partying with her and her friends because that’s what she wanted to do.”
In light of Travis’ changing physique and athletic performance, the source revealed that Taylor is “now making it her mission to help him shed the weight and get his six-pack back so that he can have all the haters eating their words.”
“She’s promised to join him on the diet for support, at least when they’re together. That means all the junk food is off the table, no sugar, and definitely no drinking,” the insider added.
Travis Kelce faces backlash after offseason with Taylor Swift affects early 2024 NFL games
Following the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory at the Super Bowl, Kelce spent much of his offseason cheering on Swift during her international Eras Tour. While fans had high hopes for his performance in the 2024-2025 season, some feel he hasn’t quite hit his stride in the early games.
Former ESPN analyst Todd McShay weighed in, suggesting that Kelce’s lifestyle amid his new fame has impacted his performance.
“Every show I watch, every pregame show, halftime show, postgame show, weekday show, every broadcast I watch for the last few weeks, it’s like, are we not allowed to say that he’s out of shape?”
Todd commented on Travis during the September 23 episode of ‘The Ryen Russillo Podcast.’
Todd highlighted that Travis had been “partying all offseason,” further stating, “He’s been jet-setting around with the most famous person probably in the entire world.”
Todd suggested that Travis had let himself go during the offseason but remained optimistic about his potential comeback.
“Now, is he going to work himself into shape during the season? Yeah, I’m sure he will,” Todd went on.
“He’s an unbelievable competitor, he’s one of the best to ever do it and he still finds a way to make a play or two here and there and shows up in some clutch moments, but he’s not the same guy right now.”
