'Long Story Short': Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Have Finally Hit A Rough Patch

2024 was a great year for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, both personally and professionally.

However, 2025 has gotten off to a rocky start. The "Love Story" singer started off the year with six Grammy nominations, but not a single win. Coupled with the Chiefs' epic loss at the Super Bowl and that viral booing video, many are starting to wonder if their star power is starting to fade.

Taylor Swift Kicked Off The Year Without A Single Grammy Win

Taylor Swift has over a dozen Grammys at home, so it's not like this loss will be seen as a career setback. The "Anti-Hero" singer was nominated for six Grammys, including Album of the Year, but left empty-handed. Although Taylor didn't seem to mind cheering on her friends and dancing along to the live performances, some fans expressed concern that she might have lost that "magic touch."

"The Tortured Poets Department" is not regarded as some of her best work. Although she put out 31 new songs with the full release, her latest album failed to have the same pop culture impact that many of her other records received. Although it's likely that she will win another Grammy at some point in the future, some fans can't help but wonder if the exhaustion from her record-breaking Eras Tour might be taking a toll on her.

The Super Bowl Hit The Chiefs - and Travis Kelce - Hard

With Taylor Swift there for good luck, many felt that the Kansas City Chiefs would be able to pull off a three-peat, which has never been achieved in NFL history. Unfortunately, the Philadelphia Eagles won 40-22 after a series of disappointing plays by the Chiefs.

Following the game, Patrick Mahomes told reporters that he was going to “let Travis make that decision on his own” when asked if he was ready to retire. "He's given so much to this team and to the NFL," Mahomes said. "And he's been such a joy, not only for me to work with, but for people to watch."

Is Travis Kelce Getting Ready To Retire?

Mahomes said that Travis “still has a lot of football left in him,” but admitted that his decision to retire will ultimately depend on “if he wants to put in that grind” again. Travis has routinely been criticized for putting his relationship with Taylor above the game. He was seen vacationing in Lake Como with her last year and even joined her on stage during The Eras Tour after visiting her in several different countries.

He also received criticism right before the big game when he and Taylor stepped out for a double date with Patrick and Brittany Mahomes. They were seen dining out at the French restaurant Lilette on Friday night, and although they did spend Saturday night getting ready for the big day, many fans felt that a little more preparation would have gone a long way.
