They’ve only been dating for a few months, but Travis Kelce thinks he’s already managed to lure Taylor Swift’s dad to the “good side.”
Swift’s father Scott caused quite a bit of controversy this weekend after he was spotted wearing a Kansas City Chiefs lanyard while speaking to his daughter’s new boyfriend, Kelce, at her concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
As a lifelong fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, Scott was heavily criticized on social media for ignoring his loyalty amid Taylor’s blossoming romance with the Chiefs tight end, with one fan jokingly sharing a photo of a banner outside a house with the text ‘welcome home’. cheater’.
The caption read: “Eagles to Scott Swift after wearing the Chiefs lanyard.”
During their latest New Heights podcast, Kelce and his brother Jason – who plays for the Eagles – discussed Scott’s divisive move to Argentina.

Scott’s show of support for the Chiefs did not go unnoticed on social media by Eagles fans
Taylor — who has said she is an Eagles fan — has been cheering on Kelce in Chiefs colors this season
In an excerpt from the podcast, which will be released Wednesday, Jason messages Scott and says, “You’re letting your devilish good looks and relationship with your daughter distract you from a life of fandom, Scott. .
‘This is ridiculous.’
But Travis replied, “I got him on the right side, honey.”
Scott’s antics left a portion of the Eagles fanbase confused, given the rivalry between the two teams and the fact that the Swift family made no secret of being Philly fans.
Taylor herself has spoken openly about supporting the Eagles, but she has been to four Chiefs games this season to cheer on Travis.
Earlier this year, Taylor herself took time during one of her shows to clarify that a line called “Eagles” in her song Gold Rush is about the NFL team and not the band.
In the song from the album ‘Evermore’ she sings: ‘I see myself walking across your wooden floors, with my Eagles t-shirt hanging on the door’.
Swift and Kelce have been dominating headlines since their romance was first made public
During her show in Philadelphia during this year’s Eras tour, Swift said, “I don’t know how big the debate was, but I saw the debate. I have a text that says, ‘With my Eagles t-shirt at the door.’
“I saw some people wondering if it was the band The Eagles or the team The Eagles, and I love the band The Eagles, but guys, come on. I’m from Philly. Of course it’s the team.’
Both Taylor and her father will be tested when Travis returns to NFL action on Nov. 20 when the Chiefs play the Eagles at Arrowhead Stadium.
