Swifties are rallying to Travis Kelce’s defense after he was captured texting during Taylor Swift’s recent “Eras” tour concert, with the consensus being, cut the guy some slack!
In the video footage, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is seen being filmed by a fellow concert attendee during the Singapore show he attended this week. While Taylor was performing “I Knew You Were Trouble,” Kelce appears to be checking his phone, right at the crescendo of the song.
The individual who recorded the moment seemed to be throwing some shade Kelce’s way, suggesting he wasn’t fully engaged with the performance, captioning the video with “It’s giving supporting bf.”

Despite the implied criticism from the TikToker, Taylor Swift’s fans didn’t take the bait, with many coming to Kelce’s defense and highlighting how trivial and unnecessary any scrutiny or criticism over this incident is. After all, he’s just checking his phone!
Some Swifties even pointed out that this is the first instance Kelce has been seen glancing at his phone while supporting his sweetheart at her concerts.
Moreover, it’s evident that Kelce is a supportive boyfriend by simply being there in Singapore. Earlier reports indicated that he thoroughly enjoyed the concert, even getting caught dancing to Swift’s music.
Kelce’s commitment to Swift’s music is undeniable. He attended the “Eras” tour before they were even together, and since their relationship began, he has made a concerted effort to accompany her on international tours, including those in Australia.
Clearly, he’s a devoted partner, and it seems Swift’s fans recognize and appreciate that. Let’s hope Kelce can brush off any shade thrown his way, as it’s really not worth getting worked up over.
At the end of the day, he’s entitled to a momentary distraction, folks—it should go without saying.
