On February 23, a 2016 AfterBuzz TV interview resurfaced, which featured the Kansas City Chiefs tight end playing a game of “Marry, Kiss, Kill.” When given Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift as options, Kelce said, “Damn, that’s messed up; I don’t want to kill any of them.” After further coaxing from the host, the NFL star ended up nixing Grande before stating that he would kiss Swift and marry Perry. It didn’t take long for Kelce’s resurfaced interview to make waves on social media, with many poking fun at the football star and Swift’s relationship. One fan wrote, “So she wasn’t and isn’t his first choice,” alongside a crying emoji. Another person tweeted, “This would be hilarious if he ends up marrying Taylor lol.” Some fans also brushed off the interview, with one user writing, “This is a whole lot of nothing. Moving on.”
Even though Kelce’s answers were far from serious, the timing of the aforementioned interview is ironic due to his current relationship with Swift and the former’s past beef with Perry, which started in 2014. After the “1989” artist’s interview with Rolling Stone, where she opened up about falling out with another pop star, the “Teenage Dream” singer uploaded a tweet seemingly calling out Swift as Regina George in sheep’s clothing. Fortunately their four-year feud wasn’t endgame for the two pop icons and their friendship.
