Following a disappointing defeat in Super Bowl 2025, where the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles by 18 points, tight end Travis Kelce opted for a low-key night in, skipping the team’s afterparty. Instead, he was spotted enjoying a more relaxed evening at his hotel, giving fans a glimpse into his post-game mood via a FaceTime call with the Chainsmokers.
A Quiet Evening After the Loss
In the aftermath of the game, Kelce was seen connecting with Drew Taggart and Alex Pall of the Chainsmokers during a TikTok video. The FaceTime session served as a form of reassurance for fans who were eager for an update on the star athlete’s well-being.
“Most of the players skipped the afterparty, including Travis and Patrick [Mahomes],” a source revealed . “Everyone just went back to their rooms or AirBNBs and just stayed in.”
This decision to bypass the celebratory scene is indicative of the emotional weight Kelce likely felt after the game, especially given that he was visibly affected by the loss.

Kelce’s Emotional State
Despite the lighthearted moments shared in the video, the emotional toll of the Super Bowl was evident. Kelce had expressed his disappointment in a post-game interview, admitting:
“We just couldn’t find that spark. We couldn’t find that momentum.”
This loss marked a significant moment for Kelce, who has played in the Super Bowl four times, winning three championships, including one witnessed by his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, against the San Francisco 49ers in 2024. The day of the game was particularly stressful for Swift, who was seen in her private suite at the Caesars Superdome watching the game unfold. Reports indicated that she appeared visibly stressed as the Eagles took control of the game, reflecting her emotional investment in both the event and her relationship with Kelce.
Support from Taylor Swift
As their relationship has grown since they began dating in the summer of 2023, the dynamics of their connection have become more public, especially during high-pressure moments like the Super Bowl. Following the loss, it was reported that Swift was empathetic towards Kelce, an aspect of their relationship that licensed therapist Jaime Bronstein highlighted as powerful.Bronstein noted that Swift’s ability to be supportive during such a challenging time would likely strengthen their bond as a couple.
“The game — and Swift’s Grammys snub the previous weekend — will make them stronger,” she explained.
This sentiment reflects the notion that shared experiences, both good and bad, can significantly impact a relationship.
Looking Ahead
As the dust settles from the Super Bowl, Travis Kelce’s focus will likely shift toward recovery and preparation for the next season. The emotional aftermath of the game can be challenging, but the support from friends, family, and Swift will undoubtedly play a crucial role in helping him navigate this period.The Chiefs’ loss was undoubtedly a setback, but for Kelce, the lessons learned and the relationships cultivated during this time will be invaluable as he moves forward. As fans continue to rally behind him, the anticipation for his comeback in the next season remains high.In the end, while the Super Bowl 2025 may not have gone as planned for Kelce and the Chiefs, the love and support surrounding him, especially from Taylor Swift, serves as a reminder that there are brighter days ahead.
