The Nebraska Cornhuskers fans and their official social media account weren’t too kind to Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his new fiancée Taylor Swift. A tweet on X was even deleted after severe backlash.

Kelce and Swift made their first public appearance after they announced their engagement following an epic proposal in Kelce’s baller fun house mansion backyard. They attended the game at GEHA Field and Arrowhead Stadium — where the Chiefs play — between said Nebraska and Travis and his brother Jason Kelce’s college team the Cincinnati Bearcats. The couple was spotted in the luxury suite together.

The fans weren’t so kind from the opposing team, however, as Kelce got booed in his home stadium with Swift by his side when he was shown on the jumbo screen. There were also plenty of signs trolling Swift throughout the stadium.

That’s nothing compared to the level the official team X account went to with this tweet that read, “change of plans” and had the below photo.

Not everyone was thrilled with their jab at Kelce, however, as fan backlash was all over social media.

Those are just a couple of examples of many.

Apparently, feeling the wrath of Swifties and Chiefs fans was enough for the team to delete the post.

Kelce probably will get a good laugh about it, but not everyone found it funny.

Nebraska would win 20-17 over Kelce’s Bearcats, but he’s still engaged to Swift.
