The podcaster theorized that’s why Kelce feels completely comfortable playing second fiddle to his new girlfriend
“Travis Kelce is a tight end. His job is to receive the ball from the quarterback and score,” she said.
‘Now you would say that scoring is the most important thing. But no, who gets all the credit? The quarterback.”
The podcaster then went on to theorize that this is why Kelce feels completely comfortable playing second fiddle to his new girlfriend.
‘Who is the quarterback in his relationship with Taylor Swift? Obviously Taylor,” she said, before claiming that Kelce is “in a unique position” to be in a romantic relationship.
‘Who is the quarterback in his relationship with Taylor Swift? It’s obviously Taylor,” she said, before claiming that Kelce is “uniquely positioned” to be in this type of romantic relationship.
It comes as Taylor’s presence at Kelce’s game for the Chiefs at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey sent the ratings skyrocketing.
Sunday’s star-studded event lived up to expectations as ratings rose from the week before, when Swift first watched the Chiefs’ tight end game in Arrowhead, Kansas City.
An average of 27 million viewers tuned in to NBC and Peacock to watch the Chiefs hold on for a nail-biting win against the Jets.
Swift’s final appearance at a Chiefs game continued to impact the ratings
As the Jets pulled within eight points of the Chiefs during the second quarter of Week 4’s thrilling matchup, viewership peaked at an estimated 29.4 million viewers.
The figure amounts to 2.68 million more than the 24.32 million that saw Swift cheer for Kelce and the Chiefs against the Bears for the first time last week.

Swift’s support of her new boyfriend has also attracted a new audience to the NFL, as Swifties continued to tune in to catch a glimpse of the 12-time Grammy Award winner.
Sunday’s broadcast saw an increase in viewership among women of all age groups, adding more than 2 million female viewers, according to NBC.
A number of die-hard football fans took to social media to criticize NBC for their coverage of MetLife, where the camera regularly cut away to photos of Swift and her A-list friends.
One wrote: ‘Please don’t play Taylor Swift on your TV drinking game… you’re going to be hospitalized if you aren’t already.’
That figure is almost three million more than the 24.32 that saw the Chiefs claim victory over the Bears last week with Swift in the stands at Arrowhead.
Another added, “These Taylor Swift cutaways during Chiefs games need to go.”
While much of the build-up surrounded Swift’s potential in the stadium, the most angry reaction came after the Chiefs’ first touchdown, when cameras immediately cut to Taylor and her famous friends in their suite.
Since it was Isiah Pacheco who scored the points instead of Kelce, some fans were left seething but insisting that they should have shown the jubilant players on the field.

Swift has so far remained very coy about her romance with the professional footballer, but she was spotted during the match leaning over to her actress friend Lively and whispering ‘look at him’.
As you’d expect, fans went crazy after watching the clip live on NBC, with one person writing on Instagram, “She literally can’t believe she’s with the most popular athlete.”
Meanwhile, another added: “She’s as in love as a kitten.”
It is believed that Swift and Kelce left the stadium separately after the game, with the NFL tight end staying with his teammates and boarding the Chiefs bus.
Taylor, meanwhile, headed to private members club Zero Bond in New York City, where she continued the party into the wee hours.
