Kelce, who was already having a tough night as the Chiefs were losing, felt heartbroken seeing his girlfriend face such treatment.
A source close to him shared that he felt helpless during the incident.
He wanted to protect Swift from the negative reactions, and seeing her upset affected him deeply.

“He always protects her and it broke his heart. He was already having a tough night and the fact that the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn’t help.”
Travis knows that this hurt her and anyone can see this.
Travis Kelce was aware of the booing and it impacted him emotionally.
The situation was tough for him, especially since he had hoped for a better outcome for his team.
The Chiefs were aiming to win their third consecutive Super Bowl, but the game was not going in their favor.
The source mentioned that Kelce knows the booing hurt Swift.
It seemed unnecessary to him, especially since she was a fan of the Chiefs, despite coming from Pennsylvania.
Fans had mixed feelings about her because of her past support for the Eagles, which led to some calling her a “traitor.”
The Travis close source added: “It’s clear to many that the Eagles fans feel she is a traitor of sorts – being from Pennsylvania and even wearing Eagles gear prior to dating him.
“Travis believes that Trump didn’t have to take a dig at her especially after he voiced that he was honored for a president to be there.”
Additionally, a close source also emphasized Swift’s recent Grammy loss, as she was dismissed from all categories.
‘”After Taylor being shut out for a Grammy and Travis losing the biggest game of the year it just hasn’t been a good week for them.
But he knows that even though this is not a happy ending to the season having her love gives him so much joy.”

Despite the booing, Swift had friends by her side during the Super Bowl.
She watched the game from a VIP suite with her friends, including Ice Spice and the Haim sisters.
This support likely helped her cope with the negative reactions from some fans.
Serena Williams, a close friend of Swift, also came to her defense on social media.
She posted a supportive message saying, “I love you @taylorswift13 don’t listen to those boos!!”
This kind of encouragement from friends can make a big difference during tough moments.
