Travis Kelce aimed dig at Taylor Swift's exes Joe Alwyn and Jake Gyllenhaal in awkward podcast episode

Travis Kelce aimed dig at Taylor Swift's exes Joe Alwyn and Jake Gyllenhaal in awkward podcast episode

It was a very awkward discussion about the popstar.

Travis Kelce appears to have aimed a series of digs at Taylor Swift’s famous ex-boyfriends.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has been in a relationship with the world famous popstar for over a year. Travis travelled to several stops of the Eras tour during the NFL offseason, while Taylor is often pictured cheering her boyfriend on at Chiefs games - including the Super Bowl.

Before meeting Kelce, Taylor had relationships with actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Joe Alwyn, and Kelce was asked about both on a very awkward episode of the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast back in June.

Kelce discussed his favourite Swift songs with co-hosts Will Compton and Taylor Lewan, who brought up the song ‘Karma’ as one of the singer’s top tracks. But then the hosts made things uncomfortable by getting into a discussion about Gyllenhaal, who Taylor dated 15 years ago.

“Karma is [about] Gyllenhaal, right?” asked Compton. "Was it Jake? Am I wrong?"

Kelce simply responded: "What happened?”

However, the conversation continued when Lewan explained that Taylor changed the lyrics to the track once she started dating the Chiefs star to 'karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.'

Compton then asked if the original lyrics about ‘the guy on the screen’ referred to Alwyn, who had a six year relationship with Swift.

"It was," Kelce responded, putting an emphasis on the past tense.

Kelce was praised on social media in the aftermath of the episode for how he dealt with the awkward line of questioning.

However, he went on to talk about how he’s happy to have his relationship out in the open. And his comments have been seen as a slight dig towards Alwyn, who was notoriously private about his own relationship with Taylor.

“'You want to keep things private, but at the same time, like, I’m not here to hide anything," said Kelce.

“That’s my girl, you know what I mean? That’s my lady, so it’s like... I’m proud of that.

“I’m not sitting here trying to juggle like, "how can I keep this under wraps?"

“You just don’t want to let everyone into your personal life and be able to comment on it, knowing that everything she does is getting a headline.”
