Did she know he was a problem?

America, brace yourselves for impact: It looks like the romance of the century (wink, wink) may already be over.

The once-bright future of our prom king and queen, football star and head cheerleader, has almost certainly been ruined by a very public outburst of anger, a drunken disorder, and a spectacularly insensitive decision to party hard. after a mass shooting at their Super Bowling Parade.

Just hours after 22 fans were gunned down (nine children among them, a young mother dead), Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce thought it was a great idea to go to the ‘Granfalloon Restaurant and Bar’ and drink selfies with police officers while carrying an open bottle of beer. on the street, having walked onto the parade stage looking too drunk to speak.

‘Caveman’ and ‘jerk’ were two descriptors used by outraged fans on social media.

Warning to Travis Kelce: look no further than Taylor Swift’s songbook for a glimpse of her imminent future.

To quote ‘Bad Blood’: ‘Did you have to do this? I was thinking you could be trusted. Did you have to ruin what was shiny? Now it’s all rusty.’

As we know, Team Taylor won’t let anyone or anything tarnish their carefully crafted image.

There are bodies strewn throughout her lyrics, ex-boyfriends accused of terrible behavior, her canon built on broken romances, victimization, and regaining her “power.”

This narrative arc has made her a multimillionaire. Who thinks Swift is going to jeopardize her image for some sleazy football player she elevated to global fame?

The first red flag arose at Sunday’s Super Bowl itself, when Kelce shoved his 65-year-old coach, Andy Reid, and roared his outrage in front of 125 million viewers, fury all over his red face.

Tom Brady would never do it.

What kind of message does this send to Swift’s impressionable and overwhelming female fan base? That this type of abuse is okay?

And if Kelce behaves like this in public, what is he doing behind the locker room doors?

Count me among those who don’t believe Reid’s excuses for this terrible treatment.

‘I love that intensity!’ Reid told NBC Sports after the game. ‘Radiate’.

No doubt Kelce’s sweat and saliva radiated as well.

And remember, this is not an isolated incident.

“He had a bad temper,” Reid said of Kelce in an interview before the Super Bowl. “So, on the field I would go out and do some crazy things. It was a challenge at first… But she has grown before our eyes.’

Have the?

Clearly, crashing into other men the size of brick houses is not enough of a way out.

Add to that Kelce’s embarrassing performance after Sunday’s victory, singing and shouting ‘Viva Las Vegas’ and ‘(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)’ without any self-awareness, and the quarterback field Patrick Mahomes holding his young daughter right behind. him.

Mahomes gets the memo. He understands the task. I wasn’t partying after Wednesday’s horrific mass shooting.

In fact, within minutes he issued a statement in which he said he was “praying for Kansas City.”

Kelce, 34 years old compared to Mahomes’ 28, took hours to do the same. And, most notably, his position rose some time after he first arrived at that sports bar.

Do we think Kelce was sober enough to write that post himself?

These are catastrophes that he himself has caused.

It is not a question of Yeah Tay-Tay and Travis break up, but when?

This was always more of a brand merger than a romance. Who could forget the way Swift described her love story in a rare interview she gave to Time magazine, which named her “Person of the Year” last December, in large part because of her wholesome, immaculate image?

“We actually spent a significant amount of time (together) that no one knew about,” he said of his origin story. ‘I think some people think they saw our first date at that game. “We would never be psychotic enough to launch a first date hard.”

Hard launch! Let’s look in the Cambridge dictionary for an appropriate definition: “An occasion on which a new product or service is made available to the public, not just a limited number of people, in a way that is intended to attract a lot of attention.”

Mission accomplished.

Taylor and Travis are (were?) a marketing plan and it has served its purpose well. Taylor got a guy who wants to be as famous as her (see the recent Wall Street Journal cover story, written by Prince Harry’s ghostwriter, in which the footballer talks about using The Rock as a model) and Travis rushed into the celebrity stratosphere.

I hope you enjoyed the ride, because you’re about to crash land on Earth. A hard toss down, so to speak.

Meanwhile, Swift is back on her Eras tour, far away in Australia.

One can imagine the crisis management conversations he’s having with his team, the gold standard in public relations.

Kelce would have done well to follow his girlfriend’s example. After all, as she told the WSJ, “Being around her and seeing how smart Taylor is has been fucking mind-blowing.” “I am learning from her every day.”

It seems like you haven’t learned enough. Consider Swift’s course correction moments after her apparent Grammy snub of Celine Dion, a beloved icon who awarded Swift Album of the Year despite battling a rare terminal illness.

Swift didn’t even look Dion in the eye as she grabbed the trophy and then praised everyone on stage except Dion. It was, at best, rude.

But Swift made sure to immediately get a photo with the legend backstage, putting an end to any resulting controversy. Mostly.

No harm, no foul, Taylor remains a class act. At least publicly.

Kelce has a playbook, but so does Swift.

When her fans expressed outrage over her relationship with singer Matty Healy, accused by rapper Ice Spice of making racist comments, Swift not only dumped him (quickly) but made sure to befriend Ice Spice, who ended up alongside Swift in his Super Bowl box. .

Kelce is playing checkers. Taylor Swift plays three-dimensional chess.

When their romance first broke down, Kelce said she knew she had to be on her best behavior.

“That was the most important thing for me,” he told the WSJ. “Make sure you don’t say anything that might push Taylor away.”

Four absences in as many days. Taylor Swift doesn’t like losers.
