But the stadium's celebration of the league's remaining unbeaten team sparked a different reaction from some fans later on.

One social media user wrote in part, “I feel like this could have been postponed for posting any day but today.”

“Read Travis' room,” read another comment.

“Travis [please] not right now we're mourning,” read a third.

The issue some fans picked up on the post was that Kelce shared the photos on Wednesday, after the first day President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to become the 47th President of the United States.

While a few other comments called out her post, other users defended her.

“It makes me sad that some of you think he shouldn't write about his football game today because the election didn't go the way you wanted it to,” read one comment. “This is a page for football players, not a political page. No one can post anything other than how upset they are about the election? Get out with that. There are enough places on social media to talk about politics.”

Some users also called the three-time Super Bowl champion after his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, publicly endorsed Harris for president.

Swift was rumored to have planned to attend Harris' pre-election rally in Pennsylvania, but was spotted inside Arrowhead Stadium at the Chiefs game on Monday night.
