He shook it off.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce suffered a non-contact ankle injury during his game, which his rumored girlfriend, Taylor Swift, skipped.
On Sunday, the NFL star, 34, was seen limping to the locker room shortly before halftime of his team’s game against the Minnesota Vikings at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minn.
Shortly after his injury, the Chiefs’ official Twitter account tweeted that he was “questionable to return” to the game.
However, Kelce soon returned to the field and scored a touchdown for his team.
Swift, 33, was not present for Sunday’s game, which broke the hearts of Swifties around the world.
“‘breaking new out of minnesota… taylor swift is NOT in the building’ me switching back to the bravo below deck marathon,” tweeted one disappointed fan.
“Is Taylor Swift too good for Minnesota? Guess I won’t be going to see her movie now,” added another.
“No Taylor? What’s the point,” asked another user.
Rumors surfaced that Kelce and the “Bad Blood” singer were dating after the two-time Super Bowl champ shared that he failed to give the pop star his phone number at her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City, Mo., in July.
The power couple then went public with their blossoming romance last month when Swift attended the athlete’s game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium alongside his mom, Donna Kelce.
The Grammy winner, who sported Travis’ team’s colors, laughed and cheered for her beau and his teammates as she sat in his VIP box with his family and friends.
After the Chiefs beat the Bears 41-10, Swift and Travis continued the celebration by leaving the stadium together in his 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible.
They were then spotted getting cozy at the team’s private post-game party at Prime Social. At one point, the “Blank Space” singer wrapped her arm around Travis as he looked down at his phone.
Pvnew exclusively reported that the NFL star visited Swift’s New York City apartment hours before his team played the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., last weekend.
Swift later attended the game with several of her celebrity friends, including Sabrina Carpenter, Sophie Turner, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively and Hugh Jackman.
Their new romance has brought a lot of attention to the NFL and the league has not shied away from the extra coverage.
However, Travis said that the football league was “overdoing it” when it came to their coverage of his new relationship.
“It comes with it,” he told reporters in a post-practice press conference Friday. “You’ve got a lot of people that care about Taylor, and for good reason. You just gotta keep living and learning and enjoying the moments.”
Despite the extra attention, Travis is said to be “completely smitten” with Swift.
“Taylor’s really enjoying getting to know Travis,” a source told Us Weekly last week. “They’re taking it day by day, but she has high hopes.”
