- Travis Kelce's remarks spark backlash
- Fans call his comments "disgusting"
Travis Kelce, a prominent NFL player and the current boyfriend of pop sensation Taylor Swift, has found himself at the center of a social media storm. The controversy erupted following remarks he made on the New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. During a segment where they offered advice to a caller experiencing a lack of intimacy in his marriage, Travis candidly stated, "I will personally mention that I have no idea what that’s [like]." This comment did not sit well with Swift's dedicated fanbase.
Swifties react on social media
Swift's fans, often referred to as "Swifties," took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their displeasure. One fan described Kelce's comment as "disgusting and disrespectful," while another remarked, "This was the absolute last thing I needed to hear today." The backlash continued with a fan admitting, "I'm getting the ick FOR her," and another joking, "Everything I know about @tkelce is against my own will."
Defending Travis Kelce
Despite the outcry, some individuals came to Kelce's defense, arguing that his comments were taken out of context. One supporter pointed out, "There are people dumb as f**k each time I log on cos how can ANYONE believe he would say this." Another added, "This is taken so out of context. Their sex life is no one’s business but theirs. And he didn’t say a word about theirs. So shut the fffff up."
During the podcast episode, the Kelce brothers offered various suggestions to the caller seeking advice on reigniting the romance in his marriage. Travis proposed, "Maybe just try to get some candles, get some rose petals, try and be a little romantic." He further suggested, "Maybe you just gotta rekindle that flame or something, get that thing going. Take her to a nice restaurant."
Jason Kelce, on the other hand, recommended a more strategic approach, emphasizing the importance of setting the mood early. He advised, "Start setting that thing up early. Women, they’re weird. They don’t just always want to have sex." He also mentioned that "acts of service" could be effective, along with a humorous nod to wearing tighter trousers.
