Kelce, 35, didn’t record a single reception in the first half, an unheard-of stat for one of the most dominant tight ends of his era. He finished with just four catches for 39 yards-a far cry from his usual playmaking performances. Wearing the same ’70s-inspired outfit he arrived in, he was spotted making his way to Taylor Swift’s suite instead of any team celebration.
Devastating loss! Travis Kelce is heartbroken as he reflects on what could have been his last championship
The Chiefs had planned a post-game party, but given the mood in the locker room, those plans were scrapped. Instead of reveling in another championship, the night ended on a more somber note, with Kelce opting to be with Swift, who has been a fixture at his games since they began dating in 2023.
It’s been a season full of speculation about Kelce’s future, and the Super Bowl loss only intensified those conversations. While he hasn’t made any official announcements, he acknowledged before the game that he’s been preparing for life after football. “I love doing this. I love coming into work every day. I feel like I’ve still got a lot of good football left in me,” he said at Super Bowl Opening Night. “We’ll see what happens.”
Kelce’s future uncertain, but Swift stays by his side
Despite the loss, Kelce wasn’t alone. Swift, 35, had been cheering him on throughout the night, even as some Eagles fans in the crowd made their feelings known. It wasn’t the fairytale ending some might have hoped for, but after a grueling season and a heartbreaking loss, at least he had someone to lean on.
Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes kept things diplomatic when asked about Kelce’s future. “I’ll let Travis make that decision on his own,” Mahomes said. “He’s given so much to this team and to the NFL, and he’s been such a joy, not only for me to work with but for people to watch.”

With the Chiefs now heading into the offseason, the big question remains: Will Kelce be back for another run, or was this his final ride? Whatever happens, his Super Bowl night didn’t end with a trophy-but it did end with the support of one of the world’s biggest pop stars.
