Travis Kelce’s blunt response to Kanye West question at Super Bowl 2025

Travis Kelce’s blunt response to Kanye West question at Super Bowl 2025

Travis Kelce won’t be listening to Kanye West’s music to get hyped up before the Chiefs’ rematch with the Eagles in Super Bowl 2025.

During Wednesday’s media session before the big game, the Chiefs’ All-Pro тιԍнт end was asked by a reporter about West’s music and he didn’t sound amused.

“I know you’re dating Taylor [Swift], but do you have any Kanye [West] on your hype playlist?” the reporter asked.

“No,” Kelce, 35, said before turning his head and moving on to the next question.

The three-time Super Bowl champ did not elaborate further.

Travis Kelce said Kanye West’s music isn’t on his Super Bowl 2025 playlist during a press conference ahead of the big game in New Orleans.

Swift’s and West’s feud stretches back to 2009 when the rapper ambushed the singer’s acceptance speech for Video of the Year at the 2009 MTV VMAs. He took the mic to declare that Beyonce’s video for “Single Ladies” was “one of the greatest videos of all time.”

Since then, the musicians have publicly dropped jabs in their music among other things.

In 2016, West named Swift in his song “Famous,” which he said she consented to the lyrics — “I feel like me and Taylor might still have Sєx / Why? I made that bitch famous” — via a phone call.

Kim Kardashian, West’s wife at the time, posted video footage of the call on social media, which made it seem as though Swift agreed to the lyrics.

Swift addressed the situation in an interview with TIME magazine in December 2023 and explained she felt it was “a career death” at the time.

“You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,” Swift said in the interview.

“That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.”

That interview was the first time Swift spoke publicly about her relationship with Kelce, confirming that the two began dating in the summer of 2023.
