Taylor Swift ‘could do a lot worse’ than Chiefs star Travis Kelce, Stephen A. Smith claims amid rumors of their romance: ‘Champions like champions’

Taylor Swift could do a lot worse than Travis Kelce, believes Stephen A. Smith, who tipped his hat to the Chiefs star after rumors emerged suggesting the tight end was dating the pop sensation.

“Champions love champions. Bro, more power to you,” the sports analyst said amid reports that Kelce, 33, was “hanging out” with the singer.

Rob Gronkowski – a four-time Super Bowl champion – suggested the power couple would be “Ken and No. 1 Barbie in the NFL.”

And now Smith said Kelce and Swift “could do a lot worse” than each other.

“So I heard about Travis Kelce – my brother from another mother, I love this brother, he’s one of the coolest people I know – I know he might be dating Taylor Swift,” Smith said on Monday’s episode of “Stephen A Smith Show‘.

Travis Kelce made his season debut on Sunday, scoring a touchdown in the Chiefs’ 17-9 victory.

“Taylor Swift, you could do a lot worse. But so could he, because I haven’t gotten over that Taylor Swift concert. I mean, she was off the chain.

“Putting that aside, Travis Kelce with Taylor Swift…it’s not bad. It’s not bad now.

Smith suggested that the couple’s individual success might naturally draw them to each other.

“I sincerely doubt that Travis Kelce will find anyone more successful than her. I mean, she made over $5 billion from this concert tour. Travis Kelce is a Super Bowl champion – champions like champions. My brother, more power to you.

Travis Kelce with Taylor Swift… it’s not bad. It’s not bad now,” Stephen A. Smith said.

Kelce, who previously dated influencer and broadcaster Kayla Nicole, was first linked to Swift earlier this month.

They were reportedly together when the Midnights singer visited New York a few weeks ago, the Messenger reported last week.

Kelce, who made his season debut Sunday, scoring a touchdown in the Chiefs’ 17-9 win over the Jaguars, first tried to join Swift when his Eras tour came to Kansas City this summer.

Last week, the relative’s brother Jason addressed the reported romance, saying, “I can’t comment…since ‘Catching Kelce,’ everyone has been in love with Travis’ love life. I don’t I don’t really know what’s going on there. I know Trav is having fun.
