Taylor Swift has always been one to wear her emotions on her sleeve. When Swift gets into a relationship, she is all in. There is no being careful and no protecting of her heart. Because of the fearlessness that Swift has shown with not giving up on love, she has faced her fair share of heartbreak. While this has made for hit songs, allowed Swift to break records, and make a fortune, it has yet to lead her to the happily ever after Swift desires to have.
Swift has dated several different men over the years. The men she dated had different types of careers, were different ages, and had different levels of achievement in their fields. What the men have all had in common, however, is their inability to not feel intimidated by Swift's success. This caused Swift to feel she had to change to fit a mold she thought these men wanted of her, only to discover that changing herself was not going to make them love her like Swift loved them.

Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' has been memorable for many reasons, but not everything has gone according to plan...
But when Swift started dating Travis Kelce, it was clear there was a different dynamic to the relationship. Kelce was not afraid of being in the spotlight. He did not shy away from paparazzi presence. Kelce was present. Despite this, Travis Kelce's behavior at Taylor Swift's concerts has fans upset. They are so upset, in fact, that now their opinions have formed, there is nothing that will change their minds about Swift's main squeeze.
Fans Love How Travis Kelce Acts During Taylor Swift's Concerts
Travis Kelce sings, dances, and interacts with fans during Taylor Swift's concerts
Kelce was a fan of Swift's before he ever met her. He showed up at Arrowhead Stadium to watch Swift perform and was blown away by the show she put on for her fans. Kelce said as much on his podcast, New Heights, at the same time he confessed that Swift shut him down when Kelce tried to meet her backstage at the concert.
Since Kelce and Swift have become a couple, Kelce has been in attendance at more than half a dozen of Swift's Eras Tour dates. At each concert date, Kelce can be seen interacting with fans, singing and dancing to all the songs, blowing kisses at Swift throughout the concert, accepting friendship bracelets, and even filming Swift during the show.

Fans agree the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce is overexposed. But some feel bad for what Kelce has had to endure along the way.
Kelce is the epitome of a supportive boyfriend. He does not expect Swift to do all the heavy lifting in the relationship and reciprocates instead. This has allowed Swift to not only be herself but to shine during her tour, which is uncharted territory for The Tortoured Poets Department artist.
Why Fans Think Joe Alwyn Was Never Supportive Of Taylor Swift
Joe Alwyn never looked happy to be at Taylor Swift's concerts, even when she was singing songs about him
During the six years that Joe Alwyn and Swift dated, Alwyn was seen attending one show from the Reputation Tour, which was the opening date. While some Swift fans have stated that he may have attended a few more but was just backstage, it is unclear if this is true.
During the Reputation Tour date that Alwyn was confirmed to attend, he showed very little emotion, even with songs that were clearly about him being sung. This lack of emotion has been attributed to Alwyn being an introvert. However, it has also been perceived as Alwyn not being supportive of Swift and not being able to handle her star shining brighter than his.
"Fricking Joe always looked miserable," one fan said.
Another fan explained, "People are saying, 'Don't compare an introvert with an extrovert.' We aren't. We are comparing how they publicly support and encourage Taylor."
Related14 Songs Taylor Swift Wrote About Her Ex-Boyfriend, Joe Alwyn
While they may no longer be together, Joe Alwyn still holds the record for most songs that Taylor Swift has written about anyone, both good and bad.
"I just think back to the clip in Ms. Americana where she is running to Joe because she couldn’t find him," a third fan stated.
Alwyn was not the only one who did not support Swift when they were together. Matt Healy initially appeared to support Swift, but was never as enthusiastic — publicly — as Travis.
Matt Healy Fooled Many, Including Taylor Swift That He Was Supportive
Matt Healy looked supportive in public but was anything but with Taylor Swift in private
While the two were not meant to be and Swift joined the throngs of celebrities who loathe Matt Healy, Swift and Healy's romance was white-hot in the early days. Healy attended several of Swift's Eras Tour dates. Healy looked happy to be in the crowd and happy to support Swift. Despite not knowing if the two were an item or not, fans were happy to see Healy stepping up in ways that Alwyn did not appear to when he had to be in public supporting Swift.
"All I’m saying is Joe never hyped her up the way Matty does," one fan wrote. "She deserves her man's support."
Another fan stated, "[It] must be for real!!! No-one goes to the same concert 4 days in a row!"
However, there were those who knew that Healy was not the right match for Swift well before the two broke up.
"NO NO NO AND NOOOO," one fan said. "PLEASE TAYLOR."
Another fan simply wrote, "Please no."
As fans would learn, Healy was one to support in public and do the very opposite when in private with Swift. Because of this, the relationship was never going to last.
Why Fans Are Upset At Travis Kelce's Behavior At Taylor Swift's Concerts
Fans are upset with Travis Kelce's behavior because it took this long for Taylor Swift to find a supportive relationship where she can be herself
The reason that fans are upset with Kelce's behavior at Swift's concerts does not have to do with the way he treats her. It is the fact that for the first time after so many relationships, Swift is with someone who wants to support her as much as she wants to support him. This fact has been proven time and again with Kelce not only showing up to Swift's concert but making sure he interacts with fans, all while being genuine.
"He loves her out loud!!" one fan wrote. "I've never rooted for a celeb couple like I do these two."
Another said, "Okay but the way he's so sweet about it and seems genuinely happy to be doing it. Our girl won."
"I LOVE that he is embracing her fans and loving them just as much as she does," a third fan stated. "I love this man."
While there is some speculation that Swift and Kelce are using one another to boost their careers, more people at this point believe that Taylor and Travis are really are in the relationship for the long haul versus looking to get something from one another.
"I think Kelce pursued Taylor. She felt surprised and she liked that… He is secure enough in himself," one fan wrote. "He doesn’t 'need her money,' nor does he need more. She doesn’t have to wonder, 'Does he like me for my money?' She is certainly secure enough financially."
Another fan said, "I think they're love. In genuine love and the love for one another doesn't have anything to do with either of their careers."
