Travis Kelce could break Taylor Swift's heart as missing key in relationship is revealed

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are essentially the most important couple in professional sports at the moment. Kelce is a star on the gridiron, but Swift's global reach makes her every movement a walking breaking news segment. Swift's appearances at Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs games always draw the attention of the video cameras, and she truly lives the games like a diehard fan.

Swift wasn't a big football fan before she started dating Kelce, but she's on record as saying that she's "been missing out [her] whole life" when it comes to watching the sport. Although the singer is now a certified football fan, could the sport actually be detrimental to her relationship with Kelce?

A report from Radar Online claims that Kelce and Swift have reached a "breaking point". The reason? Kelce's early season struggles.

The last thing Travis ever wants to do is let his team down, and lately that's what was happening. It didn't help that everyone from Chiefs fans to sports commentators are saying he's out of shape and it's all Taylor's fault... The last thing Travis wants is for people to blame Taylor for what he does on the football field.

According to that source, Kelce has put the relationship on the "back burner" while focusing on improving for his football team.

Travis Kelce has rebounded strong from early season struggles

Whether that's true or not, whatever Kelce has done as of late has been working. Over the last two games before the team's Week 6 bye, Kelce started to look like his old self.

He caught seven passes for 89 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers and then nine for 70 against the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. As Swift prepares to go on tour in just a few days, we might be seeing even bigger games from Kelce as he puts all his focus on football.
