Over the past several months, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop sensation Taylor Swift have formed perhaps the most high-profile relationship on the planet as they have captivated the hearts of millions across the globe. But in a pretty terrible twist, that romance has also made them the subject of some brutal jokes.
During a recent interview with Haliey Welch – better known as “Hawk Tuah Girl” – on Monday’s episode of his “Club Random” podcast, comedian and television host Bill Maher made some pretty harsh jokes about Taylor Swift and her relationship with Travis Kelce.
“I’m sure she’s a lovely person, but the whole thing with the football player,” Maher said according to the New York Post. “I just felt like 35 was a little old to be like, ‘My boyfriend’s a football player and I wear his jersey to the game with his number on it!’ Right? I mean, come on.”
Maher then offered a pretty grim prediction for how he sees the relationship ending, suggesting that Kelce will “dump” Swift.
“He’s gonna dump her, though. You know that,” Maher said. “With her, it’s like the Gatorade at the Super Bowl, you know you’re gonna get dumped. You just don’t know when.”
Needless to say, it’s pretty terrible news for the couple that they have opened themselves up to such cruel jokes simply as a result of their romance, and the jokes led to a lot of reactions on social media.
Why is the old wind bag even mentioning Taylor and Travis? He has never had a real relationship so he is the LAST person who should ever talk about anyone’s relationship! Go smoke some more weed and shut the hell up https://t.co/k7yZZOQCjl

Is this called “clout chasing”? Like he’s talking about them so people will talk about him? Am I getting that right?
