A body language expert has revealed Travis Kelce’s 'true feelings' following his Super Bowl loss on Sunday (9 February) after spotting one particular response to a fan.
The 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs star was visibly gutted when his team lost 40-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles during the eagerly-anticipated Super Bowl final.
Things already weren't off to a good start for Trav when the crowd at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans started booing his girlfriend Taylor Swift when she came up on the jumbotron.

A source close to him reportedly told MailOnline: "Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him.
"He always protects her and it broke his heart. He was already having a tough night and the fact that the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn't help. Travis knows that this hurt her and anyone can see this."
The source continued to claim: "It’s clear to many that the Eagles fans feel she is a traitor of sorts - being from Pennsylvania and even wearing Eagles gear prior to dating him."
And now, a body language expert has weighed in on one particular clip of Travis going to meet Taylor after the loss.
Speaking on behalf of Slingo, Darren Stanton, told Tyla: "The clip with Kelce going to see Taylor after their defeat, his shoulders are down, he’s looking down.
"Someone says 'we love you Kelce', and he nods reluctantly."
Darren explained that the tight end looked 'totally dejected' after the loss, adding that he 'probably feels bad in front of Taylor and wasn’t expecting this result'.
"There’s no signs of contempt, just dejection," the expert added.
"When you’ve worked very hard to achieve something and it’s not paid off, it does cause apathy and dejection."
The Mail's insider also commented on how Travis reacted to president Donald Trump's response to Taylor being booed.
The 78-year-old Republican leader, whose appearance marked the first time a sitting American president has attended the major sporting event. shared another user's post to his social media platform, Truth Social, that said: "Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed.
"The world is healing!"
Responding to such comments, the MailOnline source continued: "Travis believes that it was unnecessary for Trump to take a dig at her especially after he voiced that he was honoured for a president to be there."
They concluded: "After Taylor being shut out for a Grammy and Travis losing the biggest game of the year it just hasn’t been a good week for them.
"But he knows that even though this is not a happy ending to the season having her love gives him so much joy."
