The Hollywood star has received backlash from fans of the American pop icon, who has been in a relationship with the footballer for one year.
Taylor Swift’s supporters were outraged when a TikTok video of the singer’s recent concert in Ireland surfaced. The loyal fans of the pop star were displeased with Julia Roberts’ conduct at the Dublin stop of the Eras Tour. In the viral video, Julia Roberts, known for her role in “Pretty Woman,” was seen massaging Travis Kelce’s shoulders and playfully tickling his chest while engaged in a jovial conversation with him in a VIP area. Kelce responded by gently touching the actress’s arms and sharing a smile.
Because Taylor Swift fans are angry with Julia Roberts
Despite the apparent warmth between them, many social media users have deemed the behavior of the Hollywood star inappropriate. One user on X remarked, “I feel sorry for Travis, he seems clearly uncomfortable,” and received support from numerous Taylor Swift fans. Another user questioned Julia Roberts’ actions, saying, “What on earth is Julia Roberts doing? Why is she touching his chest and leaning on him? He seems uncomfortable trying to move away, and she keeps preventing it. This is just weird.” Yet another user tried to offer a defense for Roberts, stating, “She’s old enough to be his mother, so hopefully she was treating him like a son. It seemed maternal.” A follower with expertise in lip-reading attempted to decipher Roberts’ words in the video, suggesting, “She seemed to be saying, ‘I’m so happy for you. I don’t even think you’re a fan of Joe (Alwyn, Taylor’s ex-boyfriend actor).’ ”

Following the conclusion of the NFL season, the athlete has accompanied his significant other to multiple concerts across the globe.
