Fans slammed Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for their “purely embarrassing” and “trash” antics in the crowd at Sunday’s US Open final.
Joined by best friends Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, Taylor and Travis headed to Arthur Ashe Stadium to watch world number one Jannik Sinner of Italy take on American star Taylor Fritz for the final Grand Slam title of the year.
At one point during the finale, cameras panned to the celebrity supercouple as they sang The Darkness’ iconic 2000s rock song “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” in the stands, and a clip of the moment set the internet alight.
However, while the singer’s most loyal followers and some tennis fans were amazed, others criticized Swift and Kelce for lacking “decorum” and putting on a show for the cameras in New York.
One user wrote on X: ‘Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are an absolute embarrassment at the US Open, this seems completely forced and unnatural.’

Another commented: “No other couple in the celebrity world loves the cameras so much. We still can’t believe it.”
“If you can’t see that Taylor is being overly dramatic and making a spectacle of herself, you’re hopeless,” said a third. “No one behaves like a 15-year-old on her first drunken binge at the US Open. It’s the US Open, not a football game in a seedy bar. Maybe she’s just anti-class trash, I don’t know.”
One fan responded to that post and agreed: “That’s what I was saying! Do you see other couples kissing in the stands? Like you said, it’s the US Open, not a football game. Have some decorum.”
“She definitely won’t be invited to Wimbledon,” concluded another.
While one simply said: ‘incredibly embarrassing’.
In another clip shared by comedian Matt Friend, Swift can be seen dancing to another song by Kelce while chatting with teammate Mahomes.

Taylor and Brittany put to rest any rumors about a possible breakup between them by hugging each other.
Taylor and Travis landed in New York City on Friday and that night visited Lucali, the popular Brooklyn pizza restaurant, where there were tons of paparazzi waiting for them when they arrived.
The trip to the U.S. Open concluded over the weekend before Kelce returned to Kansas City ahead of the Chiefs’ Week 2 clash with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Swift was in the stands for their season-opening win over the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead on Thursday, watching the game alongside Kelce’s family.
After they weren’t sitting together that night, there was talk of a possible rift between Taylor and Mahomes’ wife Brittany after the latter liked a Donald Trump post on Instagram last month.
However, the best friends put any rumours of a feud to rest when they were spotted hugging each other alongside their man at the US Open final.
