While Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift was a love story many fans were on board for, some Swifties changed their tunes after learning about some controversial comments he made months before meeting the singer. During a February 2023 episode of “New Heights,” Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, were joking alongside their mother, Donna Kelce, about who she would save between her sons in case of an emergency.
“If you choose me, just know that both Wyatt and Elliotte will grow up without a father,” Jason joked in the clip. Travis then mentioned that he should start thinking of having children soon, saying, “I gotta start breeding, all the breeders out there.” Jason and their mother tried to give cautionary advice, warning him to “wait until you find the right person.” But Travis doubled down on his desire to find a partner, saying, “I’m gonna find a breeder, and I’m gonna get kids so that mom can love me again.”
Fans of Swift were less than pleased with the cringeworthy comments, and they took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to air out their grievances against the tight end. “Forever grateful that Joe Alwyn kept to himself and is private,” one user wrote, adding, “You are free to say what you want but are not free from the consequences of doing so. Women are not objects.” Another seconded that notion writing, “Yikes not a fan of that Travis Kelce comment about ‘breeding/breeders’ super misogynistic. Doesn’t matter if it’s a joke.”
