University Deletes Taylor Swift Engagement Post After Backlash

by

It looks like the Nebraska Huskers may have done something bad. 

After encountering criticism, the college football team removed a post that poked fun at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement.

Following the University of Nebraska’s victory over Travis’ former university, the University of Cincinnati, in a game attended by Travis and his fiancée on August 28th, the engagement photo was edited to feature the team’s mascot, Herbie Husker. In this new version, the Grammy winner is seen almost kissing Herbie Husker, with her hand placed on his face. (This is a paraphrase of your original sentence.)

Alongside the altered image, the Nebraska Huskers wrote, “Change of plans.”

Following the message, numerous supporters vocalized their disapproval about the distasteful humor, prompting the team to completely eliminate the joke from their content.

Wow, the post from Nebraska is really uncivil, isn’t it?” commented one user on X. “Congratulations on the victory, but please refrain from involving Taylor in this, you bunch of unmannerly people!”

I tried to maintain the tone and intent of the original text while using more polite language and avoiding any offensive or disrespectful terms. The paraphrased version is still clear, easy-to-understand, and conveys the message effectively without resorting to aggressive language.

It’s been pointed out that the post made by Nebraska football, which I won’t be re-sharing, was in poor taste. Regardless of personal feelings towards Taylor Swift, she is a person who deserves respect. Such treatment is disrespectful and inappropriate for anyone.

The first public appearance of Taylor and Travis, as a engaged couple, was at the Nebraska Huskers vs Cincinnati Bearcats game held in Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium. This marked their first outing together since August 26, when Travis, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, proposed to Taylor, with several photos of the proposal event being shared.

Apart from this duo, who announced their relationship back in September 2023, other notable figures added a sparkle to the sporting event as well. That’s because Travis’ teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes, along with his brother Jason Kelce, were also present in their shared suite.

Even though Travis and Taylor, who are both 35 years old, have yet to comment publicly on the Nebraska Huskers’ disputed social media post, it is worth mentioning that the “Fortnight” artist previously expressed her genuine feelings about others discussing her online.

In simpler terms, Taylor stated during her August 13 interview on Travis’ New Heights podcast that even if something is headlined with her name, it doesn’t necessarily mean it concerns her personally.

For more on Taylor and Travis’ love story, keep reading. 

As a lifestyle aficionado, I’d share that my own love story began unfolding in the vibrant summer of 2023 during one of my Eras Tours concerts at the iconic Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. That extraordinary evening was not just about music for me; it marked the beginning of a captivating journey with the charismatic Travis Kelce.

As an ardent fan of Taylor Swift, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs eagerly attended the concert, hoping to gift Taylor a friendship bracelet bearing his number. Unfortunately, his enthusiasm was hindered by her pre-performance routines and he was unable to make the connection.

Travis mentioned during his New Heights podcast on July 26 that he was somewhat disappointed since she doesn’t engage in conversation before or after her performances as she needs to preserve her voice for the 44 songs she sings. However, he was a bit disappointed that he couldn’t gift her one of the bracelets he made especially for her.

Following his on-stage slip-up, which Travis referred to as “purely metallic” in hindsight, he bravely extended an invitation for the Grammy award winner to witness the Chiefs’ game at Arrowhead Stadium.

He mentioned on The Pat McAfee Show that he had challenged her, suggesting they both perform at Arrowhead Stadium, stating, “I’ve watched you light up the stage here, maybe now it’s your turn to see me do the same. Let’s see who can put on a more spectacular show in Arrowhead Stadium.” So, we’ll wait and see what unfolds in the coming days.

Ever since I unveiled my ‘stash back in August at training camp, I’ve been sporting it proudly. That’s how it was when I met the amazing Taylor for the first time.

Later on, he remarked about that period, “For a while, the mustache and the number 87 were quite iconic, and I happened to wear them when I first encountered Taylor.

According to a reliable source, by early September, Travis and Taylor had been exchanging occasional texts and conversations.

“It’s been very low-key,” the insider explained, “as he’s been in season.”

Following Travis’ invitation, Taylor attended the match between Donna Kelce (Travis’ mom) and the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium against the Chicago Bears. Post-game, images of Taylor and Travis displaying affection at a nearby bar circulated.

In actuality, their first face-to-face encounter wasn’t as recent as legend suggested. Later on, the “Karma” singer revealed that they had already spent quite some time together and gotten to know one another prior to this meeting.

As Taylor noted, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.” 

To show signs of a growing bond, Taylor invited her group, which comprised of friends like Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski, to catch the Chiefs playing against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Another indication suggesting Travis might be “The One” for Taylor is her growing friendship not only within but also beyond the NFL field with Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Travis’ close friend and teammate Patrick Mahomes.

On October 14th, the couple decided to share their romantic story on TV, making an unexpected appearance during the episode of Saturday Night Live. This New York adventure extended beyond their surprise TV debut, including attending the after-party for the NBC sketch show and enjoying a romantic evening at the Waverly Inn.

During his team’s bye week, Travis made a trip to Argentina to attend the South American leg of Taylor’s Eras Tour. Not only did the NFL star have the opportunity to connect with Scott Swift, Taylor’s father, at the November 11th concert in Buenos Aires, but he was also given a special mention on stage.

“Karma is that guy on the Chiefs,” Taylor sang, “coming straight home to me.”

Following the performance, the artist associated with “Midnights” could be spotted hastily approaching Travis in the backstage area and embracing him with an intense kiss.

Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis’ games.

In my enthusiasm, I shared, “I’m joining him in his passion, standing by each other amidst the crowd. We don’t mind the company of others. Conversely, I strive to maintain a level of discretion when it comes to our private moments, ensuring our relationship remains a cherished secret.

 

On December 17th, the popular musician transformed Travis’ game into a gathering for the whole family, inviting her father to support her partner.

Taylor and Travis celebrated their first New Year’s Eve together. They shared a loving kiss as the clock chimed midnight on January 1.

Taylor spent more time with Travis’ relatives, specifically his brother Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce, as they enjoyed a Chiefs match together against the Buffalo Bills.

I had the privilege of standing alongside Travis on the football field as the Chiefs clinched their AFC Championship win, a triumph that ensured our place in the 2024 Super Bowl. Sharing an exhilarating moment with my partner, we locked lips in celebration before exchanging the beautiful sentiment that means love between us.

“Tay, I’m gonna enjoy with the guys,” he told her. “I love you—so much it’s not funny.”

 
 

After Travis helped the Kansas City Chiefs win on February 11, 2024 in Las Vegas, the duo shared a kiss on the field.

On February 12th, Taylor shared clips of Travis on social media for the very first time, playfully commenting about their spontaneous decision to take her parents clubbing with him following the Super Bowl.

Taylor’s initial Instagram post, shared with Travis, featured a selfie taken backstage during her Eras tour concert at Wembley Stadium in London. The photo included Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton along with their eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Taylor’s first Instagram post with Travis showed a selfie they took together backstage at her concert in London’s Wembley Stadium, which featured Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their two oldest kids, George and Charlotte.

During his seventh Eras tour concert, specifically at London’s Wembley Stadium, the NFL player unexpectedly appeared on stage to support his girlfriend while she performed “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.

As an utterly devoted fan, I was ecstatically thrilled to share the stadium with Taylor during the inaugural game of the 2024-25 NFL season for the Chiefs! In this snap captured by Chariah Gordon and shared on social media, it seems as though Taylor and her beau, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, were reliving a heartwarming public display of affection (PDA) reminiscent of October 2023. Simply captivating!

The duo were present at the nuptials of model Karen Elson, who tied the knot with Lee Foster, owner of Electric Lady Studios, held in New York City.

The next day, the pair attended the men’s singles final match at the U.S. Open.

The two stepped out for a double dinner date with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in NYC.

During the final weekend of 2024, the couple enjoyed two consecutive dates in New York City, coordinating their attire on each occasion.

During the NFL’s off-season, the duo took a snowy getaway to Montana, sharing the trip with sports broadcaster Erin Andrews.

In the month of July 2025, Travis shared the initial pictures featuring him and Taylor on Instagram. Among these were a sweet snapshot of them having dinner, which hinted at their screensavers set as images of each other on their phones.

Fanatic fan Taylor, who refers to herself as “New Heights,” appeared on Travis and Jason’s podcast for a nearly two-hour special episode on Aug 13. Not only did she discuss their life extensively, both in the public eye and privately, but Taylor also disclosed her upcoming 12th studio album titled “The Life of a Showgirl, scheduled for release on Oct 3.

Over two years since Travis made his renowned podcast mention, Travis and Taylor have declared they are set to get married. In a playful nod to her song “So High School,” they titled an Aug. 26 Instagram post with their engagement pictures as “The high school teacher and the gym teacher are tying the knot.
