Maybe the photographer snapping photos of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift at lunch together recently just happened to get the Kansas City Chiefs tight end at the moment he looked into the lens.
Or: Kelce really was miffed that his lunch with his girlfriend was being interrupted. Given the look on his face, it could be the case.
Either way, this photo became a meme, because of course it did, whether it’s jokes about how he’s hearing about some stuff happening with her new album or comments on how he’s totally protecting her.
Here’s a sampling from X (formerly Twitter):
