Country singer Jana Kramer expressed her concerns about Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, on her podcast, “Whine Down.” She criticized Kelce for always appearing drunk in videos and implied that his behavior might not be the best influence on Swift, pointing out his aggression during the Super Bowl as an example. Kramer also mentioned that Kelce reminds her of an ex, despite initially thinking they were a cute couple. Though she did not directly name her ex, it was implied to be her former husband, Mike Caussin.
Kelce’s pursuit of Swift was well-documented, with him going as far as trying to give her his phone number and a friendship bracelet during her Eras Tour. Swift eventually spoke about their romance, praising Kelce for not being bothered by the paparazzi. Kelce, on the other hand, admitted that he was learning to live with the attention that comes with dating a high-profile celebrity like Swift. This is in contrast to Swift’s previous relationship with Joe Alwyn, where they kept a low profile to maintain privacy.
Kramer continued to express her reservations about Kelce, calling him “corny” and “cheesy” for seemingly loving the attention he received since being with Swift. She cryptically stated that she had heard things she didn’t love about Kelce but ultimately wished for everyone’s happiness. It is clear that Kramer has some personal history or experiences that color her opinion of Kelce and his relationship with Swift. She emphasized the importance of the company one keeps and how it can influence behavior.
The podcast episode where Kramer shared her thoughts on Kelce gained attention from fans and media outlets, leading to queries for comments from reps of Kelce and Swift. Kelce had previously been open about his admiration for Swift, and their relationship went public with Swift discussing it in a Time magazine interview. Kelce spoke about learning to navigate the public attention that came with dating Swift, highlighting the importance of living in the moment and enjoying their time together.
Swift’s past desire for a “normal” romance was apparent during her relationship with Alwyn, where they tried to keep things private to avoid the scrutiny that often comes with celebrity relationships. Kelce’s willingness to embrace the attention of dating Swift shows a different approach, as he seems to prioritize their connection and support for each other. It remains to be seen how their relationship will unfold amidst public interest and continued attention from fans and the media. Overall, the contrast in how different partners handle the spotlight sheds light on the complexities of dating as a public figure.
