Some Taylor Swift fans are convinced that the non-contact injury suffered by Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce while playing against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday was due to a “curse” because the pop star was not in attendance at the game.
Kelce lost his footing on Sunday and injured his ankle after catching a short pass from Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. Kelce did make a comeback in the game after the injury and even secured a touchdown. However, Taylor fans couldn’t help but point out that Swift’s absence was the reason why he got hurt mid-game.

Some even called her impact on Travis the new Madden curse. It is a reference to the bad luck that befalls the player who ends up on the cover of the Madden video game each year. However, other fans of Swift quickly chimed in defending their pop idol, saying that she was not to blame for Travis’ ankle mishap. They held the artificial turf as the culprit instead.
Kelce was rushed to the locker room for X-rays after the injury. Kelce was spotted jogging back onto the field after halftime.
Travis Kelce was chosen by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft, and thanks to touchdown receptions in both games, he was crucial to the team’s victory in Super Bowls LIV and LVII. At the University of Cincinnati, Kelce excelled in football during his collegiate career.
Kelce has already made a lot of headlines in this year’s NFL with the rumors of him dating singer Taylor Swift. She was spotted twice for the Kansas City Chiefs games earlier.
