Taylor Swift's bond with Travis Kelce strains personal relationships

Published: Apr 02 2025

The bond forged between the "Shake It Off" chanteuse and the NFL star, which embarked in September 2023, seamlessly merged the fervent fanbases of the American pop icon and the Super Bowl victor. Yet, this liaison has inadvertently strained the personal sphere of the cohost of the "New Heights" podcast.

On his podcast with his sibling, Jason Kelce, Travis dabbled with the notion of inviting a sports luminary, particularly Nick Wright, as a guest to delve into the intricacies of "NFL salary caps." Wright, a 40-year-old and a close companion of the 35-year-old, responded with boundless enthusiasm on his own podcast, "What's Wright?"

Wright unveiled that it had been an eternity since he last engaged in conversation with the paramour of the "Cruel Summer" crooner, musing, "He's ascended to the realm of a super-duper celebrity." The athlete clarified his reluctance to "disturb" Travis "amidst the bustling year," highlighting that "during the previous off-season, he was globe-trotting with Taylor."

Expressing gratitude for the "shout-out on one of the planet's most listened-to podcasts," the American athlete exhibited palpable excitement about featuring on his longtime friend's podcast. Wright, jokingly professing his eagerness, asserted that he wouldn't even impose an "appearance fee" for the honor.
