Taylor Swift’s Fans Pressure Travis Kelce’s Podcast to Remove Tweet Celebrating Eagles Victory
In an unexpected turn of events, Travis Kelce and his brother Jason’s podcast, “New Heights,” faced backlash from Taylor Swift’s devoted fanbase after they tweeted a message congratulating the Philadelphia Eagles on their recent Super Bowl victory. This incident emerges just after the Chiefs’ loss to the Eagles, causing quite a stir among fans.
Following the Eagles’ 40-22 triumph over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, many Kansas City supporters, especially Swift’s fans, expressed disappointment. This wave of emotion heightened when “New Heights” shared a tweet that honored the Eagles and their players, including a heartfelt nod to Jason Kelce, who dedicated most of his NFL career to the Eagles before retiring last year.
The tweet, hailing the Eagles’ success, featured a message that stated: “Congrats to all our Birds fan 92%ers and Jason’s Eagles teammates on an incredible season.” This post was accompanied by images of Jason in action for the Eagles along with a quote highlighting his familial bond with the Eagles organization.
However, the praise for the Eagles did not sit well with many Swifties. Some fans quickly took to social media to voice their displeasure, claiming it was inappropriate to celebrate Jason’s former team so soon after Travis’s loss. Critics of the tweet expressed frustration that it seemed to overlook the Chiefs’ defeat and Travis’s role in the game, with one fan writing, “Travis probably hasn’t even gotten off the field yet, and you’re already celebrating the other team none of whom play for.”
The tirade from fans led to the eventual deletion of the tweet, fueling speculation that the backlash from Swift’s supporters was the primary reason for the swift action. Many fans seemed dismayed by the decision to remove the post, lamenting that Jason Kelce deserved recognition for his long tenure and hard work applauded within the Eagles community.
The fervor continued as fans pointed out the peculiar nature of a sports podcast deleting a congratulatory message about a game outcome, sparking debates about the dynamics between fan culture and sports commentary. The New Heights social media account hasn’t commented on the deleted tweet, but its recent posts have since focused exclusively on the Chiefs, with messages expressing pride in Travis’s performance despite the loss.
Meanwhile, while the Swiftie community navigates the impacts of this incident on their relationship with the Kelce brothers, Taylor Swift herself has not publicly addressed the situation or the Super Bowl event on her platforms. As discussions around the incident continue to unfold, fans are left contemplating the implications of fandom and public sentiment in the world of pop culture and sports.
