Super Bowl Heartbreak: MGK’s Night with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Turns Somber
SPOILER ALERT: THE KELCE-SWIFT-G MACHINE GUN KELLY LOVE TRIANGLE HEATS UP (BUT NOT IN A GOOD WAY)
The Kansas City Chiefs' devastating Super Bowl LIX loss was not just a heartbreaker for tight end Travis Kelce, but also for Machine Gun Kelly, who had envisioned a wild night of love and music with the pop superstar Taylor Swift.
A SPOOKY PRE-GAME GET-TOGETHER
Before his show in New Orleans on February 9, MGK sat in Kelce's VIP box alongside none other than T-Swift. The musician revealed to ABC News that he had been dreaming of a night of crazy love and passion with the duo. "At the beginning of it, Taylor was like, 'Hell yea, we're gonna come watch you perform. It's gonna be crazy tonight,'" MGK recalled.
BUT THE PARTY SPIRITS WERE BUSTED
However, things took a drastic turn when the Chiefs got hammered 40-22 by the Philadelphia Eagles. By the third quarter, MGK was checking the score on his phone and knew he had to break the news to T-Swift that their wild night would have to wait. "I went up to Taylor, I was like, 'Y'all aren't coming tonight, huh?'" MGK revealed.
T-Swift's response was lukewarm at best: "She was like, 'I don't think so, man. I'll see if I can get him [Travis] to get out but I don't think...'" The awkwardness must have been palpable as the two musicians and Kelce tried to salvage what was left of their pre-game fun.
A LOVE TRIANGLE THAT JUST WON'T DIE
It's no secret that MGK, Kelce, Swift, and even Megan Fox (MGK's ex-fiancée) were all linked romantically in some capacity. A year prior, they had been spotted partying together at the Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World Las Vegas after the Chiefs beat the 49ers in Super Bowl LIV.
But this year, it was a different story. With Kelce flirting with retirement (before ultimately deciding to return for another season), and MGK and Fox's relationship history, it's safe to say that the love triangle between these four celebrities is still very much alive... even if it didn't get off to a flying start on Super Bowl Sunday.
SWIFT AND KELCE: A SECRET ROMANCE?
Despite the awkward pre-game encounter, T-Swift and Kelce have been spotted together several times this summer. They were seen attending Kelce's cousin's wedding in Nashville, where they looked like they were having the time of their lives.
The two musicians also spent some quality time together in New York, fueling rumors that they might be more than just friends. And let's not forget Kelce's impressive transformation over the offseason – he's lost weight and looks like a brand new man, according to his coach Andy Reid.
THE CHEFS' TRAINING CAMP: A TESTAMENT TO KELCE'S DEDICATION
Reid has nothing but praise for Kelce, who has been working tirelessly to get back into top shape. "He's svelte right now," Reid beamed. "He looks like he's 20. He's doing a good job. He's in great shape."
With the Chiefs set to begin their preseason on Saturday against the Bears and then travel to Brazil to face the Chargers in Week 1, it seems that Kelce is more determined than ever to lead his team to victory.
A LOVE TRIANGLE THAT JUST WON'T DIE (BUT MAYBE IT SHOULD)
As for MGK's chances with T-Swift, it looks like they're still very much in play. But after the awkward pre-game encounter, one thing is clear: this love triangle needs a serious intervention before someone gets hurt.
