Travis Kelce ridicules the audience, referred to as ‘Brads and Chads,’ for booing Taylor Swift during the Chiefs vs. Patriots game on Sunday.
Travis Kelce discussed the experience of witnessing his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, featured on the large screen during last Sunday’s Chiefs-Patriots game. Despite the cheers from the crowd at Gillette Stadium, Kelce took a dig at those who booed Swift, referring to them as the ‘Brads and Chads.’
On his ‘New Heights’ podcast with his brother Jason, Kelce mentioned that he attempted to stay composed as the pop star was introduced to an audience of around 65,000 people.
Kelce emphasized the extraordinary reaction from the home team’s fanbase, noting that it’s uncommon for a crowd to go wild for someone supporting the opposing team.
On Sunday, Taylor Swift enthusiastically supported Travis Kelce, accompanied by her close circle of friends.
During Sunday’s game, the ‘Eras Tour’ performer was deeply engaged, expressing her emotions vividly. At one juncture, she was observed shouting ‘f***’ when Kelce missed a potential touchdown in the endzone. Additionally, she seemed to comment, ‘I wanna see [the play] back,’ possibly suggesting a belief that a pass interference call should have been issued against the New England defense.
Despite Kelce’s modest performance with five catches for 28 yards, the Chiefs secured their ninth win of the season. Swift, accompanying her boyfriend, appeared to relish her time in New England.
In a TIME interview following her recognition as the magazine’s Person of the Year for 2023, Swift directly responded to the ‘Brads and Chads’ phenomenon. She stated, ‘I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much [on TV] and upsetting a few dads, Brads, and Chads.’
The ‘Eras Tour’ artist was deeply immersed in Sunday’s game, notably expressing her frustration with a loud exclamation of ‘f***’ when Kelce missed a potential touchdown in the endzone. Additionally, she seemed to express a desire to review the play, possibly suggesting a belief that a pass interference call should have been issued against the New England defense.
Despite Kelce’s modest performance, finishing the game with just five catches for 28 yards, the Chiefs secured their ninth win of the season. Swift, accompanying her boyfriend, appeared to thoroughly enjoy her day out in New England.

Nevertheless, a devoted fan of the singer, identified as an X user named Sara, encountered a more challenging day, reporting that she was ‘harassed and audibly booed’ for wearing a jacket featuring the pop star’s image to the stadium. Sara described the experience as extremely stressful, with the harassment escalating throughout the night.
She expressed feeling unfairly targeted, despite being a peaceful fan cheering for her team.
Sara recounted enduring derogatory comments and offensive remarks from men in close proximity, as well as several rows behind her, creating a horrendous atmosphere.
