Although Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding is considered the event of the year, the singer has also received controversy since tying the knot. Rumors have already started about the star player leaving the NFL and retiring from the sport. A new post by one of his coaches added fuel to the fire. Many netizens have said that the decision came easily after she and the ‘Opalite’ singer got married.
Taylor Swift lashed out after rumors of Travis Kelce’s retirement resurfaced online
Shortly after their marriage, rumors started circulating online that Kelce might leave the NFL. Not only that, but a post from her friend and mentor Cris Carter added fuel to the fire. He shared a photo with Kelce and other players recently on his Instagram account along with the words, “Andrew (Spruill) and I started with Travis before his rookie year in the NFL. Know (GOAT) is preparing for the LAST DANCE. Stop then Canton/HOF” in the picture.Kelce, on the other hand, has committed to the NFL for his 14th season with the Kansas City Chiefs, and just days after getting married, he was seen playing in public and training for his upcoming game. However, the retirement rumors have sparked an online debate between fans and netizens regarding Taylor Swift’s decision.A statement from RadarOnline also revealed that, “People close to Travis have known that retirement is approaching, but seeing someone close to him describe this as ‘the last dance’ has convinced many that the finish line is now visible. It has nothing to do with a lack of commitment – it shows how much he has already achieved”. Another statement from the report contradicted the sentiment, adding that Swift had no real influence on his decision to leave the NFL.It added, “Taylor has been unfairly accused by some people every time Travis’ future comes up. The truth is that he has spent more than a decade in one of the most difficult positions in football, and retirement has been a conversation that comes with longevity, not with his spouse.”Speculations about her retirement have been going on well before she started dating. Speaking about his run with the Chiefs on his podcast, ‘New Heights’, Kelce confirmed that he will be back for a 14th season. He shared, “HE’S BACK!!! TRAVIS KELCE IS BACK WITH THE CHIEFS FOR A 14TH YEAR”, on his account.At the time of writing, the 36-year-old has not commented on his recent retirement.
