Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop culture stars today, having millions of Swifties cheering her as she performs on the big stage. However, some fans have made alarming accusations about Swift’s personal life. They believe her boyfriend, American professional football player Travis Kelce, has undergone a behavioral change.
Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also runs his New Heights podcast, where Swift made her debut appearance. She announced her 12th studio album during her appearance; however, Kelce’s behavior around his girlfriend has caught the attention of the fans. Kelce was all over Swift, calling her the best songwriter in the world.
The fans have slammed Kelce for his actions, claiming he acted like a dumb pet around Swift, who many believe is too smart for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
Why Kelce’s Podcast Persona Is Fueling Speculation About His Relationship With Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift made her debut appearance on Wednesday’s edition of the New Heights podcast, where the pop culture star unveiled the tracks for her upcoming album, The Life Of A Showgirl. The album is set to drop on October 3, as revealed by the singer herself.
Throughout the episode, Travis Kelce seemed obsessed with Swift, and the lovebirds even engaged in some major PDA. However, Swift seemed calm and maintained a bright grin. The “Blank Space” singer also spoke about various topics like Shakespeare and numerology with Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce.
The discussions seemed to throw Travis into awe as he lavished his girlfriend with praise for using big words. The behavior between Kelce and Swift did not come off as professional, as the viewers have given major backlash. The fans weren’t pleased and even called Kelce dumb for his behavior around his girlfriend.
Online Theories Aside, Kelce Hasn’t Changed A Thing On New Heights
Things seem to be working well for the couple despite the criticism from fans and even some celebrities. The hatred from the fans has overshadowed the love diehard fans send towards the couple. A fan on X reacted to the episode and recalled how Taylor Swift was Travis Kelce’s celebrity crush, and now the two are sitting together as lovebirds in the studio.
The buzz around Kelce and Swift’s actions during the New Heights podcast has seemed to have worked wonders for Travis and his brother Jason—their podcast has reportedly reached 1 billion views on YouTube.
It is safe to assume that the brothers, especially Travis Kelce, won’t be changing anything about the podcast, whether the fans appreciate or give backlash towards their content. Their key to success seems to be the ability to get the audience talking, and they have certainly grabbed the attention of the fans.
