Taylor Swift fans slam Travis Kelce for joining controversial country star Morgan Wallen on stage… while singer wore Harrison Butker’s jersey number
Fans of Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift were less than pleased when the Chiefs tight end encountered Morgan Wallen during his concert in Kansas City.
The controversial country singer, who was once arrested for throwing a chair off a roof and using racial slurs, appeared to support Kelce’s teammate Harrison Butker by wearing his number 7 jersey.
The joke made headlines earlier this year when he claimed during a Benedictine College graduation speech that women are destined to be “homemakers.”
Butker’s speech was full of conservative ideology, not just about gender roles, but also about abortion and vaccines.
After leaving Arrowhead Stadium, flanked by Kelce and teammates Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones, Wallen reportedly told the crowd to “always stand up for what they do.” [they] believe in.’

“Why is Travis Kelce dating Morgan Wallen,” one fan wondered on X.
“You are the company you keep,” said another.
A third expressed the same opinion: ‘birds of [a] ‘veer stays together’, while another wrote: ‘@taylorswift13 okay it’s time to dump.’
Both Mahomes and Kelce have said they don’t share Butker’s views, but Kelce did say he “cherishes” Butker as a teammate.
Meanwhile, the quarterback said he thinks the kicker is “a great person.”

“And those may not be the same values that I hold,” Mahomes said during a press conference in May.
“But at the same time, I’m going to judge him on the character that he shows every day and that’s a great person. And we’re going to keep pushing forward and trying to build each other up to make ourselves better every day.”
Patrick’s wife Brittany was also on hand to see the trio of NFL players walk alongside Wallen to the tune of ‘WHISKEY WHISKEY’ by Moneybagg Yo, featuring Wallen.
“Look at my boys!” she said in a post on her Instagram Story.
