Fans of Taylor Swift have called on the singer to dump boyfriend Travis Kelce after his behavior at the Super Bowl.
The pair have been dating for several months, with Swift even flying from her tour in Japan to see Kelce play at the Super Bowl.
The match saw Kelce's team the Kansas City Chiefs romp home to victory, scoring a winning last minute touchdown in overtime.

But it was an incident between Kelce and Chiefs coach Andy Reid which has caught the attention of fans of Taylor Swift.
The Super Bowl is one of the biggest sporting events of the year, so emotions can run rather high on the field during the match.
Despite this, fans have been left unimpressed by Kelce's behaviour towards Reid during the match.
Images from the Super Bowl show the player screaming in the face of the coach during the match, and even seemed to shove him at one point.
Some fans called for Kelce to be benched as a result of the behaviour, but some Taylor Swift fans want things to go even further.
They have taken to social media to urge Taylor Swift to break things off with Kelce, calling the behaviour a 'red flag'.
One wrote: "Taylor needs to leave this man and save her reputation. Stop blaming the NFL on her, blame the journalists... look at this lunatic."
Another described how they had gone off the sportsman after the incident, posting: "And just like that I’m suddenly less excited about Travis Kelce.

"You don’t get to ape up someone all aggressive like just because you’re frustrated. Taylor, my darling, my dove, my lamb, this is a big red flag."
A third questioned Kelce's behaviour, writing: "What kind of man assaults his coach for taking him out for a play? I hope Taylor Swift breaks up with Travis Kelce after the game."
A final Swiftie added: "Hey #swifties! I speak for most of the fanbase when I say Taylor needs to leave this man, he’s assaulting a man for no reason!!!!"
Though many fans seem to have made up their mind about the incident, both Kelce and Reid spoke about what happened in interviews following the Chiefs' win.
Reid told journalists, as reported by ABC: "He caught me off balance. I wasn't watching.
"He was really coming over [and saying], 'Just put me in, I'll score. I'll score.'
"So, that's really what it was. I love that."
Kelce, for his part, indicated he got too caught up in the drama of the game, explaining: "I wanted the score to be different. Coach has asked us to speak our minds and I just wanted to let him know how much passion I had for this team.
"He's one of the best leaders of men I've ever seen in my life. And he's helped me a lot with that, with channeling that emotion, with channeling that passion.
"I owe my entire career to that guy and being able to kind of control how emotional I get and just love him."
UNILAD has contacted a representative for Travis Kelce for a comment.
