Travis Kelce has fired back at Jana Kramer’s claims that he’s a bad influence on his popstar girlfriend Taylor Swift due to his drinking habits off the gridiron.
According to TMZ, the Chiefs tight end was ‘taken aback’ by Kramer’s remarks about him on her podcast on Sunday, where she portrayed him as a big-time partygoer and as someone who negatively reminded her of her ex-husband, former NFL tight-end Mike Caussin. She also slammed him for always trying to seek attention.
But, oddly enough, Kramer and Kelce have never met.
What’s more is that Kelce had no idea who the country singer was before she came forward with her comments this past weekend.
Regardless, Kelce thinks Kramer is ‘blowing hot air’ just for a few seconds in the spotlight, according to a TMZ source.
Kramer also has a history of shaming high-profile celebrities. Last year, she labeled Brody Jenner as the ‘absolute worst’ date she’d gone on.
On Sunday, the Michigan native, who’s engaged to former England attacking coach, Allan Russell, said that she initially ‘loved’ Kelce and Swift’s PDA-filled relationship, like when they shared an on-the-field kiss immediately after Kansas City’s AFC title win.
But then, she couldn’t help but notice the three-time Super Bowl champ’s behavioral this offseason, as he’s been seeing partying in Las Vegas with teammate and close pal Patrick Mahomes and has gone to some pretty big events without his significant other, like the Kentucky Derby and the Miami Grand Prix this past weekend.
To Kelce’s defense, however, he and Swift attended Mahomes’ charity event in Sin City, last month. They’ve also been spotted spending time at her L.A. mansion this offseason.
Kelce has also traveled to Singapore and Australia to watch his girlfriend perform, as she gets ready to go on the European leg of her ‘Eras’ Tour later this week. Her first concert on the ‘Old Continent’ is in Paris on Thursday.
Considered as one of America’s most high-profile couple’s, Kelce and Swift are close to celebrating their one-year anniversary, as the pair were first romantically linked in the summer of 2023.
The popstar revealed in her Time Magazine Person of the Year profile that she and Kelce were already dating by the time she saw him play against the Chicago Bears in his family’s suite back in September.
Mahomes even had his say on his teammate’s success over the last year, describing Kelce as ‘super intelligent’.
He also pointed out that the nine-time Pro Bowler ‘puts on a persona’ with his party animal behavior, as shown did during his New Heights Live show at the University of Cincinnati in April.
