Of Course People Hate Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are the number one celebrity couple in the world right now and the biggest narrative heading into Super Bowl 58.

Travis Kelce has the most receptions in NFL playoff history. When his career ends, he will be considered by many as the greatest tight end ever. He’s about to appear in his 4th Super Bowl as the Kansas City Chiefs are the next great dynasty dominating the league. He’s in at least two commercials per NFL broadcast and Amazon really wants me to watch some documentary about him and his brother.

Taylor Swift created a no. 1 album 10 years ago and then re-recorded it this year because Scooter Braun stole all of her money and the re-recording broke records for most weeks at no. 1. She’s the biggest music artist in America.

So naturally, people hate them. Of course they do. But people seem to be shocked that celebrities are hated.

This week I’ve seen people like Colin Cowherd and Charles Barkley, even The View, go after NFL fans who hate the relationship between Kansas City Chiefs future hall of fame tight end, Travis Kelce, and biggest pop star in the world, Taylor Swift.

Here’s Colin Cowherd dunking on those who complain about NFL broadcasts showing Taylor Swift too often.

Holy shit, WATCH this brilliant SMACKDOWN Colin Cowherd puts on “angry, sad, lonely” MAGA clowns crying over Taylor Swift’s popularity.

Solid points made. Personally, I want to see Taylor Swift after every single Travis Kelce play. In fact, I want that same camera on everyone’s spouse when they make a play or fuck up. I needed a shot of Zay Flowers’s girl when he fumbled on the 1-yard line last Sunday. I’d watch an entire alternative broadcast simply cutting to family members stressing out watching their loved ones shorten their life expectancy in half slamming their skulls into other skulls over and over again.

Here’s Charles Barkley calling Taylor Swift haters losers:

Again, good point here by Bob Costas. Yes, her attendance is good for the league financially. Of course. Also, totally forgot Charles Barkley and Gayle King have a CNN show together. This is the type of show that re-airs at 3am while Nicki Minaj is snorting key bumps writing diss tracks against her imaginary ops. ¹

I couldn’t find a good clip from The View because I imagine their target demo isn’t rushing to Twitter for clips. That would require them to remember their iPhone pass codes which are written in their notes app inside of their locked phones. They’re old people is the joke. Old as shit.

But anyway, we all understand how silly it is to truly hate Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift but it’s strange how many people are getting in front of cameras and acting as if they cannot fathom the idea that some folks may dislike them.

The Kansas City Chiefs have made it to SIX STRAIGHT AFC Championship games. The New England Patriots dominated the AFC for two decades and no one questioned why Jets, Dolphins or Bills fans might hate Tom Brady, yet for some reason, people can’t wrap their heads around the idea of disliking a guy who has beaten their favorite teams year after year.

If you watched last week’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, Travis Kelce started being a dick before the clock started. He was an asshole to the Ravens kicker during warm-ups and spent the entire game barking in guys faces which I imagine for Ravens fans, was extra infuriating when Zay Flowers gets a taunting call for throwing the ball at the defender while Kelce is loudly acting like a dickhead all game. I can see why people might hate him.

Travis Kelce has always seemed like a guy with someone in his phone contacts who could get him a roofie within an hour.

As far as Taylor Swift goes, are we going to pretend this is the first female pop star that men don’t like? Of course the types of men who are obsessed with identifying their own masculinity aren’t enamored with Taylor Swift’s pumpkin spice latte ass music.

Taylor Swift makes music for girls who have never recovered from the trauma of realizing they were having their first period when their crush pointed and yelled “EW” in front of the whole class when there was a blood stain on the back of their white Hollister jeans in middle school.

We don’t even need to get into whatever politics have been placed upon them. Travis Kelce did ads for the vaccine. Who cares? Celebrities do commercials for bags of money—not because they’re passionate about the product. I’ve eaten one Papa John’s pizza in my life and I can say with complete confidence I’ve had more slices of that shitty pizza than Peyton Manning has.

It’s 2024. No one really talks about vaccines anymore. We don’t need to take guys like Aaron Rodgers seriously about this shit. There are so few who still care about the COVID-19 vaccine that there’s no need to go on TV and even address them.

Taylor Swift is a generic white woman. Of course she’s a liberal but like, again, who cares? Joe Biden isn’t going to win an election because of Taylor Swift. An NFL broadcast showing her on camera isn’t some attack on Trump.

I will say, it sucks that I need 4-5 paper straws to get through my medium iced coffee every morning while Taylor flies her private jet from her front yard to her back yard. I promise my discarded plastic straws are doing far less damage to the ozone than a fucking jet.

Wow, look at that. Another reason to not like the famous, rich woman.

The whole conversation is silly. No one is dumb for not liking this Travis Kelce Taylor Swift relationship. There are more than enough reasons to hate these people.

Good for them, though. Happy for them. Whatever. I’m indifferent. No need to get on my high horse and shame those who hate this couple. It all makes sense to me. Shrug.
