Rachel Zegler has criticized Barstool Sports host Dan Katz for demanding Taylor Swift make a sex tape with new boyfriend Travis Kelce before he would “buy” their romance was real.
Pardon My Take podcast host Katz was shocked when he made the rude suggestion during Monday’s episode of the show — a day after Swift, 33, attended 33-year-old Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs game against the New York Jets.
He said: “If Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift release a sex tape, I will consummate this relationship and say fine.
He added until he “sees” the couple is intimate, he “won’t buy it” and thinks the romance is “not real.”
Katz said, “I’ll say, ‘These two lovebirds, they can’t keep their hands off each other.’ ‘It is well. Until that happens, I think it’s fake and it’s for clicks, and I think Taylor Swift is using the NFL to make her star bigger.”

Zegler, 22, took to X on Tuesday to criticize Katz, writing, “The way men feel entitled to speak about women, their bodies and their sex lives needs to be seriously evaluated.”
‘You’ll never see people talk about a man like that. This applies to many different scenarios. We don’t distinguish men’s attitudes and relationships in the same way we do women’s
“Leave Taylor Swift alone!”
She also wrote, “I see a lot of ‘it’s a joke,’ but you have to understand that since the beginning of time, ‘you can’t take a joke’ has been synonymous with ‘let me say something terrible about women without suffering the consequences ” – we are sick and tired! it’s never been funny! get a life!’
Katz was slammed by fans after his comments.
“Do you talk to your daughter or mother like that?” said one user in response to Katz’s comments about Swift.
One person directly asked the Barstool Sports employee if he thought his comments were “strange to say,” to which he replied, “No.”
He then addressed Swifties who criticized him, saying it was a ‘joke’. “Hopefully my daughter has a sense of humor and understands when I’m clearly joking,” he added.

Swifties were quick to slam Katz, calling him ‘disgusting’ after he shared a snippet of his demands
Some viewers didn’t shy away from chiding Katz, as one said, “Have you ever thought about not being a loser?”
“Wow, what a really strange thing to say!” another user wrote. “This is disgusting,” one person commented.
“This man has a daughter and a son,” one woman shared. In the answers, he hopes that his daughter “can tolerate a joke like this.” I hope they both learn that this is violent and misogynistic.”
Ensconced in a VIP box this weekend, Taylor ecstatically cheered on Travis amid a thicket of friends including Blake Lively and Sophie Turner.
During last Sunday’s game, Taylor was spotted enjoying some warm moments with Travis’ mom Donna as they watched the Chiefs beat the Jets.
News of Travis’ romance with Taylor became public in mid-September — two months after he shared on his podcast that he tried and failed to give her his phone number during her concert in Kansas City.

The athlete said his phone number was engraved on a bracelet, which he planned to present to Taylor, but when he attended her show in Kansas City, he failed to meet her backstage.
“So she’s not meeting anyone and she doesn’t – or at least she didn’t want to meet me so I took it personally,” he joked on his podcast New heightswhich he co-hosts with his brother and fellow NFL star Jason Kelce.
Their public appearances as a duo have repeatedly gone viral, including a dinner party they enjoyed after allegedly clearing out the restaurant by paying for all the other customers’ meals in exchange for their departure.
Taylor then sent her fans into a frenzy on September 24 when she showed up at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City to watch Travis play with the Chiefs.
Decked out in Chiefs colors, Taylor had a place of honor in the VIP box, where she happily cheered Travis on next to his mother.
It was that night at a postgame party that Taylor reportedly bonded with Brittany, whose husband noted at a press conference a few days later that Taylor was “really cool, good people.”

Travis’ ex Maya Benberry recently gave an exclusive interview to DailyMail.com, accusing Travis of being unfaithful to her and warning Taylor about him.
“Taylor seems like such a nice girl with a beautiful mind, so I wish her the best of luck, but I wouldn’t be a girly girl if I didn’t advise her to be smart!” Maya said.
“I’m sure by now she’s mastered the ability to tell who’s really there for her – and who’s just using her,” she added tellingly.
