Travis Kelce: "This is disgusting": Taylor Swift fans tear into Nebraska for taking shots at popstar in "weird" post after engagement to Travis Kelce

Arrowhead Stadium became a celebrity hotspot on Thursday night as Travis Kelce and fiancée Taylor Swift showed up to support Chiefs TE's alma mater, the Cincinnati Bearcats, in their season opener against Dylan Raiola and the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

The Bearcats came up short in a 20-17 loss, but the postgame headlines weren’t about football. They were about Nebraska’s controversial jab at the pop icon. The Cornhuskers’ social media team started an outrage by sharing a heavily edited version of Kelce and Swift’s engagement post. Instead of Kelce, the image replaced him with Nebraska mascot Herbie Husker in an intimate pose with Swift.

The post, captioned “Change of plans,” was viewed by many as an attempt to humiliate both Swift and Kelce. The tweet has now been deleted. Here's a screenshot:

Swifties, who are never shy about defending their queen, flooded the comments section and X.

One fan snapped, “Y’all are so disrespectful.”

Another blasted the account, “This sht ain’t funny it’s deada** just weird and creepy.”

One X user tweeted, "what a weird tweet, you guys should be embarrassed lol hope you guys lose the rest of your games this season."

"gross. embarrassing. delete," tweeted one more.

"You are weird and embarrassing- fitting," wrote one fan.

What was meant to be lighthearted trolling quickly spiraled into a PR disaster, and Swift’s army made it clear: don’t come for 'Mother.'

Kelce and Swift made their first public appearance since announcing their engagement, and of course, it was at Arrowhead Stadium. Kelce, a Bearcats alum, even spent pregame on the field in a bold red-and-white striped sweater before heading to a suite to catch the action.

Swift always had fans on edge for a glimpse of her from the moment she entered the stadium. Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes were also spotted in the building. The Kansas City power couple joined to watch Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola, rocking the familiar No. 15.

He hates clickbait or misleading the reader.

A fan of the Colorado Buffaloes since Deion Sanders took over as coach, Prasen expects Coach Prime to make the Buffs a national championship contender. Nick Saban is his favorite all-time coach, while Baker Mayfield and Caitlin Clark are his favorite players. Prasen considers Vince Young coming up clutch for the Texas Longhorns in the dying seconds of the 2017 national championship game against the USC Trojans as the most iconic moment of all time.

Per Prasen, College Sports is competitive and garners attention but it is just the beginning, where a student-athlete can show their skills and potential to make it to the big leagues. When he is not researching and writing, Prasen’s hobbies include pursuing higher studies and playing sports.
