Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift
have been the internet’s favorite power couple since going public in 2023. With Swifties rallying behind their queen and Kelce boasting Super Bowl rings and Pro Bowl nods, the duo effortlessly blended the worlds of pop and pigskin. From stadium sidelines to sold-out tours, they constantly showed up for each other. But not everyone’s cheering. Amid the praise, a louder-than-most critic emerged. Josh Allen recently threw shade at their headline-grabbing romance.
Once friends, now frenemies? Josh Allen throws shade at Travis Kelce’s Taylor Swift romance, proving not all passes off the field land smoothly.
From bros to blows: Josh Allen’s swift shot at Travis Kelce’s high-profile romance with Taylor Swift
Josh Allen, still chasing his first Super Bowl ring, seems to be drawing a hard line between football and fame, especially when compared to longtime rival Travis Kelce. While Kelce’s headline-grabbing romance with Taylor Swift has pulled him deeper into the spotlight, Allen reportedly wants none of that. According to an insider who spoke to the Daily Mail
, “Josh will take it as it comes, as winning the Super Bowl is the goal.”
With fiancée Hailee Steinfeld by his side, Allen’s keeping his eye on the prize, not the paparazzi.
Josh Allen stands at a crossroads of NFL greatness and Hollywood spotlight. According to the insider, he is aiming for “multiple Super Bowls,”
but with fame ramped up thanks to his relationship with Hailee Steinfeld, Allen prefers to keep things low-key. Ironically, Travis Kelce once admitted at the Chiefs press conference, ahead of the AFC Championship Game in January of this year, “Josh is who I used to dream of being like in the NFL”
—a dream now tangled in rivalry and rising stardom. However, adding weight to Allen’s stance, Kelce himself once admitted that he struggled to focus on his game during a Kansas City Chiefs match.
Travis Kelce reflected on his lack of focus during the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss to the Eagles, which came just two days after a highly publicized date night with Taylor Swift.

Kansas City’s hopes for a historic three-peat were crushed in New Orleans as Philadelphia dominated 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX. Travis Kelce, largely invisible on the field with girlfriend Taylor Swift in the stands, admitted his lack of focus after the game. Reflecting on his performance during the New Heights
podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, the NFL star said he felt he should have given his teammates more effort and stayed more focused, adding, “I just don’t know what it was during that game man, I wasn’t at my best.”
Travis Kelce expressed frustration after watching his Super Bowl performance, disappointed in his lackluster play. He said revisiting those moments fuels his motivation for next season. Although he briefly considered retirement, Kelce confirmed he will return in 2025. The loss, paired with boos aimed at Taylor Swift, pushed her out of the spotlight—leading her to skip major events such as the Met Gala
. Meanwhile, Josh Allen remains locked in, refusing to let distractions derail his mission to finally win a Super Bowl.
