Travis Kelce has made headlines all year, not only for his stellar athletic performance, but also for his high-profile romance with popstar Taylor Swift.

Swift made her NFL debut to support the tight end in September 2023, and has been spotted cheering Kelce and the team on at games ever since.

And on Sunday night (26 January), the power couple were seen sharing a number of heartwarming moments at the Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri.

A lip reader has since revealed the sweet words of encouragement the 'Fortnight' hitmaker said to Kelce.

But just under a year ago now, Kelce sparked concern when he was seen grabbing Chiefs head coach, Andy Reid, by the arm, causing the 65-year-old to stumble to the side.

The heated encounter, caught on TV cameras, caused concern among fans, with many worrying that Kelce's behavior may be a 'red flag' that his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, should be aware of.

"Travis Kelce's temper is a huge red flag but y'all aren't ready for that conversation," one person commented.

Another wrote: "Taylor Swift should break up with Travis for his temper tantrum."

Body language expert Judi James went on to break down the encounter, analyzing what the moment says about Kelce.

Both both the football star and coach Reid cleared up what really happened in post-game interviews.

Kelce had nothing but praise for his coach, hailing him as one of the best leaders he has ever met.

For his part, Kelce 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.

“I got the greatest coach this game has ever seen, he is unbelievable.

“He has helped me a lot with that, with channeling that emotion, channeling that passion and I owe my entire career to that guy.

"Being able to kind of control how emotional I get. I just love him.”

In his own post-game interviews with the media, Reid insisted there was no hard feelings and said he loved the passion from Kelce.

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."
