Eyewitnesses claim the pair shared an emotional embrace, with Swift visibly wiping away tears as Kelce held her close. “It wasn’t your typical affectionate hug,” one onlooker recounted. “It looked like a moment of comfort, like he was reassuring her after something painful.”

He reportedly worries that her global stardom could complicate the Kelce family dynamic and add unnecessary stress to Travis’s already high-pressure NFL career.Family games.
