Did Taylor Swift Really Threaten to Make Travis Kelce Quit the Chiefs Unless Harrison Butker Is Fired? Examining the Viral Rumor
A rumor is circulating that Taylor Swift allegedly threatened to make Travis Kelce quit the Chiefs if they don’t fire Harrison Butker over his controversial speech. Is there any truth to this sensational claim?
A viral rumor on social media alleges that pop superstar Taylor Swift threatened to force her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, to quit the team unless they fire kicker Harrison Butker following controversial comments he made.
But is there any truth to this sensational claim?
The Rumored Allegation of Travis Kelce Leaving the Chiefs Due to Taylor Swift
The rumor originated from a May 18th Facebook post by the satirical site America’s Last Line of Defense (ALLOD). The post featured a doctored image of Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, and Harrison Butker, with a caption claiming: “Taylor Swift Says She’ll Force Travis Kelce to Quit The Chiefs Next Season if the Team Doesn’t Fire Harrison Butker.”
The post elaborated: “That didn’t take long. She doesn’t want her man to be ‘poisoned’ by Butker’s thoughtful, endearing words. The Chiefs will be an interesting organization to watch next season, patriots.”
However, the “America’s Last Line of Defense” page is clearly satirical, as stated in its bio: “Nothing on this page is real.” The site is part of a network that creates fictional stories aimed at mocking conservatives.
“It’s merely a humorous jest, inspired by Butker’s contentious remarks and the high-profile relationship between Swift and Kelce,” explained Christopher Blair, the operator of the satirical network. “There’s no genuine threat or ultimatum involved.”
