Taylor Swift - English
Travis Kelce - English
Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is catching heat from Taylor Swift’s devoted fanbase after a listener questionnaire linked to his New Heights podcast raised eyebrows for its frequent references to the pop superstar.
The podcast, which Travis co-hosts with his brother and fellow NFL player Jason Kelce, has seen a surge in popularity over the past year-largely thanks to the public’s fascination with Kelce’s relationship with Swift.
However, a new listener feedback form has sparked controversy, with Swift’s fans accusing the podcast of exploiting her fame for attention.
Fan backlash over perceived exploitation
Distributed by Wondery, the podcast’s production network, the survey asked listeners to select reasons they tuned into New Heights. While some responses focused on football commentary and the brothers’ dynamic, others included options clearly centered around Swift.
These included: “I was drawn to the prospect of hearing details and clues about Taylor Swift’s life and her relationship with Travis,” and “I like feeling like a part of the community that supports Taylor’s happiness outside of her music.”
Many Swifties were quick to call out the inclusion of these prompts, labeling them “pathetic,” “gross,” and “embarrassing.” One social media user bluntly stated, “Why did you let Wondery ask about Taylor in relation to your podcast?” Others questioned the intention behind such questions, accusing the show of “clout-chasing.”
Though Travis has spoken positively about Swift on the podcast and their relationship has been featured organically in past episodes, this overt marketing approach struck a nerve with many longtime fans of the singer. Critics argue that the show is increasingly leaning on Swift-related content to maintain its growing listenership.
While neither Kelce nor Wondery have issued a formal statement responding to the backlash, the reaction suggests a delicate balance must be struck between personal storytelling and respecting fan boundaries-especially when that fanbase happens to belong to one of the most influential celebrities in the world.

Braves’ new hitting coach knew the slug would come. It has, and it’s been needed
PHOENIX — The Atlanta Braves fired hitting coach Kevin Seitzer in the fall after a 10-season run that included seven division titles, a World Series championship in 2021 and a historically strong offense in 2023.They replaced him with Tim Hyers, and seven games into the season they were 0-7 with an offense that was the majors’ worst, batting .151 with a .485 OPS and 14 runs.AdvertisementIt would’ve been understandable if Hyers had begun breaking things out of frustration by the end of that seven-game season-opening trip, or maybe after his hitters struck out 19 times in an April 16 loss at Toronto that left the Braves with a 5-13 record and a .184 average with runners in scoring position.But he didn’t.“He’s the same dude every day, good or bad,” Braves first baseman Matt Olson said.The same during that 0-7 start, […]

Clippers trade one flashback for a worse one in a split second: Choose your PTSD
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Covering the LA Clippers for a decade has put me in a position to see some of the wildest finishes an NBA game can allow for. It has prepared me to always expect a series to require more games, not fewer. The past few years especially have made me feel like I have seen it all, while simultaneously being open to knowing that, like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible.AdvertisementThe Clippers have won only one playoff series in fewer than six games since arriving from San Diego in 1984. That came in 2006, the franchise’s first-ever postseason series at the arena formerly known as Staples Center. That’s when the Clippers defeated the Denver Nuggets 4-1 in the Western Conference quarterfinals, the first playoff series the franchise won since it stopped being the Buffalo Braves in the 1970s.LA has […]

Cruzeiro e Vasco fazem duelo de SAFs em reformulação e com diferença de gastos que não se vê na tabela
O Vasco visita o Cruzeiro às 16h em Uberlândia no duelo entre duas SAFs em reestruturação. Apesar do modelo de gestão distinto e de uma política de gastos bem diferente para a formação de equipes competitivas, os dois clubes amargam o meio da tabela do Brasileirão e sofrem com críticas de suas torcidas. Depois de o Vasco pedir recuperação judicial para aliviar as despesas para administrar a SAF — há um ano o clube está sob controle do associativo e do presidente Pedrinho, ainda sob liminar da Justiça do Rio contra a 777 Partners — a direção investiu de forma controlada em reforços, que somados aos atletas mais caros que já estavam no clube tentam cumprir bom papel.
