“I’ve been a Cleveland fan my entire life… I don’t wear Cleveland gear one time, and suddenly I’m not a real fan?!” Travis Kelce fired back at those who questioned his loyalty to the Guardians. The drama kicked off when he showed up at the Guardians-Yankees Championship Series with Taylor Swift. But without any Cleveland gear. Uh-oh! Fans weren’t thrilled and let him know it. Travis, being Travis, took to X to defend himself. And, as if the heat wasn’t already enough, he was asked about it again.

After the Chiefs’ win over the Niners, Darren Smith got a chance to interview Trav one-on-one. And he did not miss stirring the MLB Pot as he asked Kelce who he was backing in the MLB playoffs, now. Since the Royals and the Guardians are both out. Kelce’s response was classic. “I’m just a baseball fan at this point, you know. Cleveland’s always been my go-to team, but I just appreciate baseball.”

He further added, “You’ve seen me at a lot of World Series games in the past. I don’t know if I’ll go this year, but I always find a way to enjoy playoff baseball with family and friends.” That’s Kelce for you, handling the heat with a smile, a shrug, and some good ol’ perspective.

This exchange came after week 7, where Kelce helped Kansas City top the Niners yet again—in a rematch from the SB LVIII. Sure, he only had four catches for 17 yards, which isn’t vintage Kelce. But hey, at 35, even NFL ironmen start feeling it.

And while his on-field numbers haven’t been as explosive this season, it’s his off-field appearances—like those cozy MLB moments with Taylor Swift—that have made the headlines.

Yeah, their date at the game wasn’t just a big deal for baseball fans. Kelce, not repping the Guardians jersey, had fans in a frenzy. Then, the couple’s PDA-filled moment in the stands during Game 1 really got the internet going. Romantic? Definitely. Controversial? You bet.

But of course, with anything Kelce and Swift-related, the rumor mill keeps on spinning. The headlines aren’t just about baseball or football anymore. Now, it’s all about dissecting their relationship. And they are just marching on, literally unbothered.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift do not let the rumors bother them

Every time Taylor Swift misses a Chiefs game, the headlines read: Are Travis and Taylor drifting apart? Seriously, though—let’s remember that they both rule their own empires! Juggling schedules in the spotlight can be tricky. But do they give a hoot about what the tabloids say? Nope!

Good “Karma” is alive and well. Just hours after Travis Kelce and the Chiefs extended their undefeated streak to 6-0 with a 28-18 victory over the 49ers, Taylor gave a sweet shout-out to her superstar boyfriend.

During her performance at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Swift crooned, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs,” and the crowd let out a huge cheer! Can you imagine being at that concert? Swift has been changing up her lyrics for Kelce more than a dozen times, ever since she first made the nod in Buenos Aires.

Of course, Taylor was prepping for her Eras Tour in Miami, so she missed the Super Bowl rematch. But that didn’t stop her from supporting Travis. Hard Rock Stadium was decked out with screens showing the game. This couple has made sure to blend football and music like a perfectly executed trick play.

Now, as Kelce and Kansas City gear up to keep their charge for the 3-peat alive against the Raiders next Sunday, we just want to tell you that Tay-Tay will not be attending it because of her tour. But you can bet she’ll still be cheering him on from afar.
