Earlier this year, a podcast recording has resurfaced, placing Travis Kelce under scrutiny and ruffling feathers among Taylor Swift’s fans. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, rumoured to be involved with the pop icon, sparked controversy with his remarks about having children.
Kelce’s Take on Family Planning
In a February 2023 episode of “New Heights,” a podcast Travis co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, the NFL star delved into expanding his family. “I gotta start breeding,” he remarked, suggesting a desire for children.
As he juxtaposed his childless status with his brother’s family of three kids, he added, “I’m going to find a breeder, and I’m going to get kids so that mom can love me again.”
The Swifties’ Outcry
The comments didn’t sit well with Taylor Swift’s devoted fans, who expressed their anger online. One fan vented, “This misogynist piece of *** refers to women as BREEDERS, but I’m not allowed to call him ugly on Twitter?” Yet, some attempted to see both sides. A user opined, “I think this was a bad joking exchange in January where it got out of hand between family members bantering; no excuse at all, but it must be in context.”
