Taylor Swift gets trolled by Nebraska's social team on X after Cornhuskers' win over Cincinnati, post deleted after backlash

Taylor Swift accompanied her fiancé, Travis Kelce, to watch his alma mater, the Cincinnati Bearcats, in action during their season opener on Thursday. The Bearcats fell 20-17 to Matt Rhule's Nebraska Cornhuskers at Arrowhead Stadium.

After the game, Nebraska's social media team took a jab at Swift and Kelce. They shared an edited photo from the couple's engagement post, swapping the Kansas City Chiefs star with the Cornhuskers mascot, Herbie Husker. In the snippet, the mascot was seen getting into an intimate pose with Swift.

The post was accompanied by a caption that poked fun at the 14-time Grammy-winning artist and Travis Kelce.

"Change of plans," the caption read, hinting that Swift should change her marriage partner.

The post was deleted after intense backlash online. However, some fans were quick to take a screenshot of the original post.

They also called out Nebraska's social media team, saying the post was "creepy" and unsettling.

"This s**t ain't funny, and it's deadass just weird and creepy, and everyone in the comments agrees," one wrote.

Kelce and Swift have been dating each other since 2023 and announced their engagement on social media three days ago.

Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion, played for Cincinnati throughout his five-season collegiate stint.

Kelce and Swift were at the Arrowhead on Thursday night in their first public sighting since getting engaged. However, they were not the only power couple watching the showdown between Cincinnati and Nebraska.

Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, were at the game, too. ESPN shared a post of them enjoying the game from a private booth. Despite playing for Texas Tech during his collegiate career, the Chiefs quarterback decided to accompany his teammate Kelce for Cincinnati's opener.

The Chiefs kick off their 2025 season in a few days. They are scheduled to take on the Chargers on Sept. 5 in São Paolo, Brazil.
