Swifties slam Julia Roberts’ ‘cringe’ moment with Travis Kelce
“So uncomfortable”: An Oscar-winning actress’ conversation with Travis Kelce at his girlfriend’s Dublin show is going viral.
Taylor Swift fans lambasted Julia Roberts for getting a little too handsy with Travis Kelce in a VIP tent at his girlfriend’s Eras Tour concert in Dublin on Sunday.
The Pretty Woman star, 56, was seen rubbing the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s shoulders and tickling his chest as she chatted and laughed with him in a video circulating on TikTok, reports Page Six.
Roberts — who has been married to cinematographer Danny Moder since 2002 — then grabbed Kelce’s arms as she said something that made him burst out laughing.
The touchy-feely encounter appeared mutual, as the NFL player warmly rubbed the actress’s arms and had a big smile on his face.
However, some social media users thought the interaction was highly inappropriate.
“I feel bad for Travis :/ clearly he’s uncomfortable,” one person wrote on X.
“wtf is wrong with JR? why is she scratching his chest and pushing herself into him? he is so uncomfortable trying to push her off and she holds him up. this is uber strange,” a second person agreed.
“Wow handsy much? The scratching? What is her problem??” a third viewer wondered.
“Her physicality with him is cringe!!” another added.
However, others found the conversation to be endearing and defended the “Notting Hill” star.
“She’s old enough to be his mother, so I’m hoping she’s treating him more like a son. Kinda seems motherly,” one fan wrote.
“Please. Travis is not uncomfortable. Julia is clearly gushing over TNT [Taylor and Travis]. She has a great sense of humour so she’s probably joking around with him,” another supporter suggested.
“Julia is saying ‘I’m just so happy for you guys,’” a lip-reading X user claimed, adding, “Me thinks she was not a Joe [Alwyn] fan as well.”
Kelce turned up to the last of Swift’s three shows at Aviva Stadium after attending a teammate’s wedding in California the night before.
Swifties were convinced that the athlete had surprised the pop star, 34, as she appeared stunned when she noticed him in the crowd.
The couple reunited after the show, and Kelce was seen applauding his girlfriend after another stellar performance.
