Travis Kelce has spoken out after his team's defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles at last night's Super Bowl, and he gave an honest answer when asked about the most shocking part of the loss.
The Chiefs reached their fifth championship game in six years and were on their way to claiming the winning title for a third consecutive win. The team previously won the Super Bowl in 2023 and 2024.
However, it wasn't to be, with the Chiefs defeated 40-22 by the Eagles.

In a post-match interview, Kelce was asked by the press about the 'most shocking' part of the loss.
In response, he admitted: “We haven’t played that badly all year."
It was a tough game for the team and one fans of football and pop culture alike were anticipating for a number of reasons.

Fans predicted if the Chiefs won a third consecutive year, Kelce would propose to his girlfriend Taylor Swift however the tight end put the rumours to bed.
When asked by press leading up to the Super Bowl if there might be an engagement ring waiting for Swift, Kelce had a very clear response.

During the Super Bowl Opening Night press conference this week, a reporter asked Kelce if he planned to pop the question: "A Super Bowl ring? Next question,” he replied.
Another reporter tried to ask a follow-up question, to which the NFL star said: “Man, back-to-back? You guys are crazy.”
Swift attended the big game on Sunday to cheer on her boyfriend but at one point during the match, she got booed by the crowd as she was shown on the jumbotron.
The 35-year-old singer was joined by rapper Ice Spice and the Haim sisters at New Orleans' Caesars Superdome.

Thankfully, she didn't seem too bothered, initially looking slightly confused before flashing a quick smirk and giving a side-eye.
Meanwhile, some football fans are also convinced that Kelce will retire from football imminently.
The tight end shared during an interview with sports journalist, Stephen A Smith, in January his thoughts about retirement ‘changes every single day’.

“I love everything that I’m doing in this building, but at the end of the day I’m not having that extreme success on the field as I have individually,” Kelce shared on the YouTube show. “I’ll reevaluate it like I always do, and I’ll probably tell myself how much I love this thing and I’ll come back next year.”
Kelce also said Swift is fully supportive whatever he decides to do.
“She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” he said. “She loves coming to Arrowhead and coming to the games and cheering for me so I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.”
All things considered, fans across the world will be anxiously waiting to hear about Kelce’s next move.
Super Bowl 2025 highlights
Donald Trump makes an appearance - and fans can't work out if he was booed or cheered
Donald Trump became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl yesterday, but fans couldn't make out if the POTUS was met with cheers or boos.
The camera panned to the 78-year-old during Jon Batiste's rendition of the national anthem.
One fan wondered: "Did they cheer or boo Trump? Difficult to tell."
Taylor Swift 'aggressively booed'
While Trump seemed to be met with a mixed reaction, Swift was met with an overwhelming negative reception when she turned up to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
When her face appeared on screen at New Orleans' Caesars Superdome, she appeared to say: "What's going on?" as the crowd jeered her.
Trump, meanwhile, rubbed salt in the wound on Truth Social, writing: "The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!"
However, as many social media users pointed out, Swift was never going to go down particularly well in a stadium full of Eagles fans.
New Lilo & Stitch trailer sees Stitch run riot in stadium
Like always, there were some major new movie trailers premiering during the game including Jurassic Park Rebirth, M3GAN 2.0 and Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning.
By far the most popular though was the new ad for Lilo & Stitch, which saw the adorable little blue alien cause absolute chaos in the Super Bowl stadium.

Kendrick Lamar's epic Drake diss during halftime show
There was a lot of talk as to whether Lamar would perform his Grammy-winning 'Not Like Us' in light of Drake's lawsuit. As we all suspected he would, he went ahead - but censored the track's most controversial line which called Drake a 'certified paedophile'.
Lamar was also spotted wearing a necklace with a massive 'a' on it, a reference to his brutal 'Not Like Us' quip where he says of Drake and his team: "Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minor."
Samuel L. Jackson, dressed up as Uncle Sam, made a surprise appearance as Lamar's emcee. The way he butted in by accusing Lamar of being 'too ghetto' was widely assumed to be a reference to a group of Republicans who wrote a letter to the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, demanding Lamar's halftime show not be too 'lewd' or 'offensive'.
Serena Williams' surprise appearance
One person few people expected to turn up during Kendrick Lamar's set was Serena Williams, with the tennis star doing a 'crip walk' dance at the corner of the stage.
Not only was her appearance significant because she's rumoured to have dated Drake, but she was also widely criticised for doing the same dance at Wimbledon to celebrate winning an Olympic gold medal in 2021. Many said the backlash against her was racist.
Williams wrote after the Super Bowl: "Man, I did not crip walk like that at Wimbledon. Ooh, I would’ve been fined."
