Travis Kelce suffered a shocking Super Bowl meltdown and shoved his coach Andy Reid, 65, on the sidelines – before being restrained by a worried teammate.
What Really Happened?
With his girlfriend Taylor Swift watching on from the $1million family suite at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the tight end appeared furious that he did not receive the ball on a play.
Heading back to the bench, Kelce got in the face of his 65-year-old coach, before quickly being pulled away by a teammate.
Approaching from the side, cameras caught Kelce storming towards the coach and bumping into him, causing him to temporarily lose his footing.
Not Until He Was Pulled Away
Kelce, 34, then grabs his coach’s arm as he turns to face him, again screaming in his face – before being pulled away by fellow Chiefs player Jerrod McKinnon.
It was a difficult start for the Kansas City Chiefs, as they went in 10-3 down at halftime, needing a big second-half display to overcome the San Francisco 49ers.
Kelce in particular had an incredibly quiet first half by his lofty standards, with one catch for one yard – and nothing else.
Fans React
Fans quickly took to social media to comment on the shocking moment, with some Swift fans labeling it a ‘red flag’ for the singer.
Elsewhere, some NFL fans called it a ‘bad look’ for the tight end, who is arguably the most famous football star in the planet after a monster season on and off the field.

Incredibly, it is not the first time Kelce has suffered a similar meltdown. On Christmas Day, Kelce had another tete-a-tete with coach Reid, and was spotted slamming his helmet to the floor during a 20-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
On Sunday, Kelce had his entire family in a VIP suite that he personally paid over $1million for – with the most notable guest, Swift, flying all the way from Tokyo for the game.
Swift was performing a fourth Eras Tour show in Japan on Saturday night, where she then hot-footed it straight to a private jet at the airport to get back to America.
