‘The Voice’ Season 24 star Reba McEntire isn’t too happy that Travis Kelce is no longer single. Here’s what she said about him dating Taylor Swift.
The Voice Season 24 welcomed Reba McEntire as Blake Shelton’s country superstar replacement.
While we greatly miss Shelton (and would’ve loved seeing him compete against his wife, Gwen Stefani), McEntire is easily stepping into her role. Recently, she touched on fellow country-turned-pop sensation Taylor Swift’s current relationship status with Travis Kelce. And McEntire made it clear she’s (jokingly) not happy about what she’s hearing.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are an unlikely match, but football fans and pop music lovers are into it. Kelce clarified that he was interested in dating Swift after mentioning he attended her recent tour. And after fans spotted Swift at a Kansas City Chiefs game, it was all over. The Swift and Kelce romance is officially on our radar — and it didn’t slip by The Voice Season 24 Reba McEntire, either.
McEntire said she’s not happy about Kelce and Swift dating, as she’s had a longstanding crush on the tight end. “Oh, my gosh, I am so mad at her because I had a crush on him!” McEntire told Today. She then jokingly referred to Kelce as a boyfriend who “cheated” on her. “Now I can’t have a crush anymore because he’s dating her,” she continued.
While watching the Kansas City Chiefs games for the team and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, she noticed the tight end. “We were watching him play because I love the Chiefs, and I love Patrick, and I’d say, ‘Oh, he’s so cute. Oh, he’s so cute,’” she’d tell her boyfriend, Rex Linn. “When he and Taylor started dating, Rex said, ‘Your boyfriend’s got another girlfriend.’ I said, ‘Rub it in.’” All joking aside, McEntire is likely incredibly happy for Swift. In 2015, she called herself Swift’s “biggest fan.”
