New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft suggested Taylor Swift should have been Rob Gronkowski instead of Travis Kelce.
On Saturday, Kraft was filmed talking to fans about Swift having her first stadium show at the home of the Patriots. While discussing her success 14 years and 14 Grammy Awards later, Kraft pitched that Swift should date another tight end.
‘Her first stadium concert was on my birthday in 2010, June 5. We convinced her and her family that she could sell out a stadium,” Kraft said. “When she came to Gillette to see the Chiefs play the Patriots this year, I gave her a framed card from that concert.
“Think about it, she was like 18 (or) 19, and she’s done pretty well since then,” he continued. “Except maybe she should have dated Gronk; he looks better.”
While his audience sounded like a pro-Kelce crowd, Kraft smiled and shrugged as he stuck to his guns.

Swift and Kelce’s romance has dominated headlines since going public in September
Gronkowski has been in a relationship with model and TV presenter Camille Kostek since 2015
Gronkowski and Kelce often star in debates about the best tight end of all time.
Statistically, Kelce already has the edge in games played, receptions, receiving yards and Pro Bowl selections. However, Gronkowski is better than his counterpart in receiving touchdowns and Super Bowl titles. Both men have four first-team All-Pro selections.
Additionally, Gronkowski had the upper hand over Kelce when they faced off in title matches. Their only Super Bowl showdown came in 2021, when the Buccaneers defeated the Chiefs 31-9. Gronkowski retired in 2022, giving Kelce a chance to catch him in multiple categories.
Despite Kraft’s wishes, the ship for a potential Swift-Gronkowski love story has long been underway. The four-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Camille Kostek since 2015.
On the other hand, Swift and Kelce’s romance continues to make headlines. After flying from Tokyo to Las Vegas to support the Chiefs at the Super Bowl, Swift flew to Australia where her award-winning Eras tour resumed. After a week of celebrating, Kelce has been with her in Sydney ever since.
The pop star is scheduled for two more shows at Accord Stadium before heading to Singapore on tour.
