Travis Kelce didn’t touch on the joke Golden Globes host Jo Koy made about his romance with Taylor Swift on his New Heights podcast on Wednesday. (A source claimed to Daily Mail on Monday that Taylor “doesn’t have time to clap back at anyone, nor does she want to. She cannot say the same about Travis, who might have some words on his podcast about this.”)

 

Instead, he opted to divulge some details about his Valentine’s Day plans with Taylor Swift…during an ad segment for Etsy.

Page Six pointed out that in the Jan. 10 episode of the podcast, Travis spoke about the “pressure” he is feeling to find the right gift for Taylor while promoting Etsy, a popular e-commerce site where vendors can sell handmade, custom, or vintage goods.

“Whether you’re feeling the Valentine’s Day pressure like Jason and I, or trying to figure out the right gift for a significant other, Etsy is the go-to destination for adding that special touch,” Travis began. He went on to call it “the real MVP” when it comes to “finding the perfect game-winning gift for Valentine’s Day.” Time will tell whether he hits up the e-comm platform to buy Taylor a gift.

The Kelce brothers spoke a little more about how Jason handles Valentine’s Day gifts for his wife, Kylie Kelce, in the ad. Jason said he usually waits until the “last second like every other man out here on the planet,” but called Etsy a go-to platform for him, of course. Additionally, “I usually get the same chocolates every year and the same flowers and a card,” Jason said.

“Ohhh, that’s adorable. Oh my gosh, chocolate and flowers?” Travis responded.

Travis did not attend the Golden Globes with Taylor, despite also being in Los Angeles that day for the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Multiple sources told Page Six days before that Travis would “fly back to Kansas City with his team right after the game.”

Watch the full podcast episode below where Travis addressed the game and Etsy:

In recent weeks, it’s been rumored that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may have an engagement up ahead, despite having been dating for less than a year. Sources speaking with TMZ, however, suggest things may be the complete opposite and the new couple is actually facing a “very challenging” stage of their relationship.

The publication stated that some “some folks on the inside of this don’t think it’ll go the distance” and that the couple are in their “honeymoon phase,” meaning they haven’t had to deal with any of the harder aspects of a long term connection.

The challenging part is Swift’s upcoming overseas Eras Tour, which begins in Tokyo on February 7. While Kelce has the means to travel, he won’t have the time until the NFL season is over, so it will be a long distance relationship at that point.

But on the other side, the Daily Mail reports that Swift and Kelce are allegedly planning to spend their first Valentine’s Day together as a couple, despite Swift not being in the country. While she’s away, Kelce’s team the Kansas City Chiefs are making their run at the Super Bowl, which makes February a particularly hectic month. The Super Bowl is scheduled for February 11, if the Chiefs have a victory. Swift is going to be in Tokyo through at least February 10, and must be in Australia in time for her show on February 16.

“They both plan to be with each other on Valentine’s Day, they just don’t know if it will be overseas or in America,” said the insider. “Some pieces have to fall into place and if one of those pieces is Kansas City making the Super Bowl, though it would be extremely tiring, she plans to come back for the Super Bowl for him if he is in the game.”

The insider continued, “They have tentative plans on what they will actually be doing, but it all will figure itself out once Kansas City is either in the Super Bowl or not. But they highly anticipate they will be together on Valentine’s Day.”

and the Chiefs — and her fans had some fun with it on social media.

Swift was spotted in the club seats next to Kelce’s mother, Donna on Sunday while the Kansas City took on the Chicago Bears.

 

The Chiefs went after the game.

Her fans, affectionately known as “Swifties” have been anxiously awaiting the hard launch of the relationship, and today’s excitement definitely made sparks fly.Memes have been circulating on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, since the 12-time Grammy winner was shown during the NFL’s broadcast.

One fan hinted at a Swift lift for the Chiefs, backed by Swifties who may be tuning into Sunday football for the first time in their lives.Others joked about internet personality Jackson Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes’ TikTok famous brother, breaking into Kelce’s suite to get Swift in a TikTok.

A Timeline of Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian’s Feud

Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian have endured many ups and downs through the years.

Following Swift and Kanye West’s long history, West’s then-wife Kardashian became part of the narrative in 2015 as Swift publicly reconciled (and then unreconciled) with West.

The drama reached its peak in 2016 as West released “Famous” off his The Life of Pablo album (which made jabs at the “Style” singer) and Kardashian claimed that Swift knew of West’s plans to release the track as she infamously leaked an edited phone call between West and Swift discussing the song before its release. The Internet immediately seemed to side with the reality star, and #KimExposedTaylorParty started trending.

The following year, Swift responded to the drama with her sixth studio album Reputation, which was dominated by snake imagery as she reclaimed the snake emoji posted in her Instagram comments section at the time.

As Swift prepares to release the re-recorded version of Reputation, the “Bad Blood” singer recently reflected on the feud with TIME as she was named the publication’s 2023 Person of the Year, noting that the public’s reaction felt like “a career death” and “took [her] down psychologically to a place [she’d] never been before.”

Ahead, take a look back at Swift and Kardashian’s relationship through the years, including what they’ve said about the drama.

 

2009: Kim Kardashian says she “loves” Taylor Swift 

Back in 2009, Kardashian spoke with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, where they asked her what the No. 1 song her iPod was. She giddily replied that it was “Love Story” by Swift, before adding, “I love Taylor Swift! I’m the biggest Taylor Swift fan.”

She added that she was following her on Twitter, before adding, “I’m watching you, Taylor!”

In August 2015, Swift and West publicly buried the hatchet as the singer presented the rapper with the Video Vanguard Award at the MTV VMAs. After giving a speech about West on stage, she was seen with her arms wrapped around Kardashian as they smiled at West on stage.

However, the friendship was short-lived as the following February, West released his song “Famous” featuring a dig at Swift, saying he “made that bitch famous.” Swift publicly reacted to the lyric during her Grammys acceptance speech for album of the year.

“I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame,” she said on stage. “If you just focus on the work, and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you’re going, you’ll look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment.”

 

June 16, 2016: Kim Kardashian claims Taylor Swift knew of the infamous Kanye West “Famous” lyric all along 

“She totally approved that,” Kardashian said in the July issue of GQ that year regarding Swift’s knowledge of the lyrics of “Famous” before the song’s release.

Kardashian added, “She totally knew that that was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn’t. I swear, my husband gets so much s— for things [when] he really was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved.”

 

June 2016: Taylor Swift’s spokesperson releases a statement following Kim Kardashian’s claims about Kanye West’s “Famous” 

A spokesperson for the “Bad Blood” singer was quick to comment on the matter. “Taylor does not hold anything against Kim Kardashian as she recognizes the pressure Kim must be under and that she is only repeating what she has been told by Kanye West,” the statement about Kardashian started off.

“However, that does not change the fact that much of what Kim is saying is incorrect. Kanye West and Taylor only spoke once on the phone while she was on vacation with her family in January of 2016 and they have never spoken since,” the statement continued. “Taylor has never denied that conversation took place. It was on that phone call that Kanye West also asked her to release the song on her Twitter account, which she declined to do.”

 

July 17, 2016: Kim Kardashian explains why she defended Kanye West against Taylor Swift

On a July 2016 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the family discussed the longstanding feud between West and Swift in great detail, as well as West’s controversial rant during his appearance on Saturday Night Live, where he was recorded backstage calling Swift fake.

She explained that when she did her GQ interview, she felt the need to speak out. “I never talk s— about anyone publicly, especially in interviews. But I was just like, I had so had it,” she said “I wanted to defend him in it.”

At the end of the episode, Kardashian sat down with momager Kris Jenner to discuss the controversial interview. Jenner tried to play peacemaker, asking, “What would happen if you just called Taylor up and say ‘What happened? How did this go so south?’ I guess I don’t understand the motivation to flip … maybe she took it the wrong way. My advice would be to give Taylor Swift a call.”

“Thank you for your lovely advice,” Kardashian told her mother, “but I’m not going to take it.”

 

July 17, 2016: Kim Kardashian releases video footage of Kanye West’s phone call with Taylor Swift

Immediately following that episode of KUWTK, Kardashian took to Snapchat to share a series of truncated videos of the phone call between her then-husband West and Swift, discussing the “Famous” lyrics – as well as their history.

“It’s like a compliment,” Swift is heard saying in the video after West reads the lyrics to her (which include, “For all my Southside n—– that know me best / I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex”).

“What I give a f— is you as a person, and as a friend, I want things that make you feel good,” West said, and thanked Swift “for being like, so cool about it” after she told him she appreciates the “heads up” on the lyrics.

“I never would’ve expected you to like tell me about a line in your song,” Swift said. “I mean, I don’t think anybody would listen to that and be like, ‘Oh, that’s a real diss.’ You gotta tell the story that way that it happened to you and the way you experienced it.”

She went on to add, “If people ask me about it, look, I think it would be great for me to be like, ‘He called me and told me before it came out … Joke’s on you, guys. We’re fine.’ “

Shortly after, Swift’s rep told PEOPLE, “Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyrics, ‘I made that bitch famous.’”

The Internet immediately seemed to side with the reality star, and #KimExposedTaylorParty started trending.

 

July 17, 2016: Taylor Swift defends herself after Kim Kardashian releases Kanye West phone call footage

Swift quickly defended herself online, noting how the phone call never showed West telling Swift he was going to call her “that bitch.” “It doesn’t exist because it never happened. You don’t get to control someone’s emotional response to being called ‘that bitch’ in front of the entire world,” she wrote in a note.

“Of course I wanted to like the song. I wanted to believe Kanye when he told me that I would love the song. I wanted us to have a friendly relationship. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did. While I wanted to be supportive of Kanye on the phone call, you cannot ‘approve’ a song you haven’t heard. Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination.”

“I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of, since 2009,” Swift continued. She captioned the post, “That moment when Kanye West secretly records your phone call, then Kim posts it on the Internet.”

 

August 27, 2017: Taylor Swift references Kanye West and Kim Kardashian drama in “Look What You Made Me Do” music video 

Almost a year after Kardashian shared the secretly recorded phone call on her Snapchat between her then-husband West and Swift, Swift announced the release of her sixth studio album, Reputation. Swift teased the news with a series of mysterious Instagram videos depicting a serpent. This appeared to be her way of reclaiming the snake emoji posted in her Instagram comments section (implying that she was a liar).

In the music video for the song’s lead single “Look What You Made Me Do,” Swift referenced the drama with various Easter eggs throughout the video. In addition to having various snake imagery throughout, she also had the quote “Et tu, Brute” from William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar written on her chair as a reference to West stabbing her in the back.

At the end of the video, she further referenced the drama as several different “versions of herself” lined up in a row, including one that kept taking videos on her phone, saying, “I’m going to edit this later.”

 

January 14, 2019: Kim Kardashian claims there’s no more “Bad Blood” with Taylor Swift

In January 2019, Kardashian cleared the air during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, during the show’s “Squash That Beef!” segment. When asked about if her feud with Swift over the leaked phone calls was still ongoing, she said she was “over it.”

“I feel like we’d all moved on,” Kardashian added of the tension between them. Later in the show, she also added that she’d rather be stuck in an elevator with Swift than Drake — another star who’s had a complicated history with West.
