“Ok Kanye”: 24 Hours After Trashing Taylor Swift’s Love-Life, Dave Portnoy Silently Defends the Pop Queen Against Barstool Podcaster

Dave Portnoy is arguably the most popular sports commentator on the internet right now. However, the Massachusetts native has shared his hot takes on various topics beyond sports. For instance, he recently expressed his candid opinion on the rumored relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. As a self-proclaimed ‘swiftie,’ Portnoy’s controversial comment regarding the dating rumor captured everyone’s attention.

Dave Portnoy is a Taylor Swift superfan who has even gone to the extent of causing controversy with Kim Kardashian due to a bold remark. He unapologetically aligned himself with Team Taylor, consistently coming to her defense on numerous occasions. In a recent social media update, Portnoy once again stood up for the ‘Shake It Off’ singer. However, in the process, he may have stirred up past issues and added complexity to the situation.

Dave Portnoy stirs up past controversies

The public feud between the singer-songwriter and Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband, Kanye West, unfolded for all to see. Initially, Kim Kardashian had sided with West, but after their divorce, she attempted to reconcile with Swift. Swift, on the other hand, has moved on with her life and wants to put the past behind her to protect her musical career. However, Dave Portnoy’s recent comment might resurrect old tensions from Swift’s past disputes with Kanye West. Portnoy’s employee and Barstool Sports host, Dan Katz, took a jab at Taylor Swift for her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce. Although Portnoy may not approve of his favorite musician dating the Chicago Bears’ tight end, he felt compelled to defend her honor. In response to Katz’s post on Twitter, he used a dismissive tone, saying, ‘Ok Kanye.’ This comment seemed to imply that Katz’s post carried a vendetta against Taylor Swift, reminiscent of Kanye West’s past feuds.

Dan Katz had weighed in on the dating rumor between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce on an X post that read, “I can’t tweet clips right now for some reason but I wanted to declare I’m in an “offended off” with Swifties. I’m offended that they’re offended that Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce. Historically speaking Travis Kelce is better at football than Taylor Swift is at music”. Dave Portnoy’s rebuttal was wholly surprising; after all, he had made a bizarre comment about the alleged relationship merely days prior.

Dave Portnoy’s criticism of Taylor Swift’s love life

Portnoy was upset when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love affair came to the surface. He wrote, “Taylor loves dating big-name celebs who are sure to break her heart so why not a football player over some DJ or musician?” His disapproval stemmed from a place of love as the media giant believes that Kelce “likes the idea of dating Taylor more than actually dating her”. It almost feels like his hatred for the NFL star stems from a personal bias.

Travis Kelce plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, who recently trounced the Chicago Bears 41-10. Kelce mounted a superb challenge and scored an impressive touchdown for the win. Taylor Swift was present at the arena and cheered for him. Portnoy was, however, disappointed seeing the celebrations and wrote, “Listen I love Taylor but I also love my Chicago guys and celebrating like this to go up 41-0 may be the most disrespectful thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Time and place”. With his recent turnaround support for Taylor Swift, Dave Portnoy has further complicated the narrative.
