Controversy erupts as fans claim Travis Kelce targeted Xavier Worthy after Taylor Swift’s praise

Kansas City Chiefs fans were left baffled after Xavier Worthy suffered a shoulder injury during the team’s season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil. While the collision with star tight end Travis Kelce appeared unintentional, a strange theory quickly gained traction online, connecting the incident to pop superstar Taylor Swift...During a recent appearance on New Heights, Taylor Swift shared her excitement when the Chiefs drafted Xavier Worthy in 2023, saying she ran through her house in sheer joy. Social media users quickly connected Swift’s admiration for Worthy with the on-field incident, speculating that Travis Kelce, who is Swift’s fiancé, was not pleased with the attention Worthy received.One user on X.com (formerly Twitter), Jeremy Karp, wrote, “Taylor Swift was hyped about Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce was having NONE of it.” While clearly speculative and humorous, the theory spread rapidly, fueling conversations beyond the sports world.The shoulder injury forced Worthy to exit the game early and he was officially ruled out for their upcoming Super Bowl LIX rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 14. With key players like Rashee Rice suspended and rookie Jalen Royals sidelined due to a knee injury, the Chiefs now face a thin receiving corps led by Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Jason Brownlee.Coach Andy Reid confirmed that an MRI would clarify the severity of Worthy’s injury once the team returned from Brazil. Meanwhile, discussions are already emerging about whether the Chiefs will pursue veteran Odell Beckham Jr. to strengthen their receiving lineup.Also Read: “She has no choice”: Taylor Swift set to sever all ties with Blake Lively permanently amid her fairytale wedding with Travis KelceTravis Kelce’s performance in the game was underwhelming, with just two catches for 47 yards and one touchdown.
