“You Could See This Coming 3 Months Ago”: Charles Barkley Explains the Funniest Part About Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s Love Story on ESPN Radio

If you know Charles Barkley, you know he is a die-hard fan of football. While the NFL scene is currently being taken over by Taylor Swift and her love for Travis Kelce, fans have started to turn on the Grammy winner as the Kansas City Chiefs have struggled recently. However, the Philadelphia 76ers legend is not partaking in the blame-game, as he recently showered immense praise on Taylor Swift.

“She is probably the biggest star in the world right now. No question. Travis is a friend of mine. I wish him nothing but the best, but hey man, listen, I just think it’s funny how everybody started to turn on her now, blaming her for the Chiefs not being as good. You knew it was gonna come. You could see this coming like 3 months ago,” said the 11x All-Star in a recent episode of Waddle & Silvy.

Charles Barkley understood months ago that when the Chiefs eventually started to struggle, the internet would be turning against Taylor Swift and pointing to her as the reason for it.

However, Taylor Swift is not ready to let this stop her from supporting her boyfriend. She was present in the stadium as the Chiefs went off against the Miami Dolphins in the Wild Card round earlier today. She was spotted wearing a custom jacket that had the name ‘Kelce’ and #87 written on it.
