Kelly Clarkson Was Accused Of Bashing Travis Kelce And Taylor Swift, But The Internet Has Her Back
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Fair warning: Don't try to twist Kelly Clarkson's words.
On a recent episode of her daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, the 41-year-old sat down with guest Bowen Yang and discussed Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
So, you've probably heard about Taylor's and Travis's rumored romance everywhere by now.
You've seen them randomly popping up on Saturday Night Live.
You've heard about them literally just walking down the street.
You’ve seen Taylor hanging out with Travis’s mom Donna at NFL games…
As well as Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman.
So, yes, their rumored relationship is the talk of the town, and Kelly expressed how she really felt about the rumored couple's constant coverage at NFL games.
"It's not hilarious how it is literally taking over the NFL for people that like watching sports now," Kelly said.
"It's like you're watching Housewives," she said, referring to the hit reality TV franchise on Bravo.
"They're just talking about gossip things," Kelly added. "And you're like, 'So, what about the play?'"
Apparently, Kelly's comments were being spun as bashing Travis and Taylor, so she set the record straight on her Instagram:
"Just a quick public service announcement, everybody, since this seems to be breaking news…" Kelly started.
"Do not fall prey to clickbait, trash reporters twisting the facts again. I did not bash anyone's romance," Kelly continued. "I am pro romance. Yay, romance. Did y'all even watch what I actually said on my show?"
"I just said I want to watch football when I tune in to watch football," Kelly added. "Seems an appropriate request. Okay, carry on, and GO COWBOYS!"
By the looks of it, the fans have nothing but love for Kelly:
What we’re not going to do is ever come for Kelly Clarkson.

And other fans agree that there's an unusual amount of NFL coverage of Taylor's and Travis's rumored relationship.
You’re not alone! Many of us just want to watch football without a romance as a distraction. I’ll watch Entertainment tonight if I want that stuff. Go Browns!

The fact that you had to give a PSA about this is so ridiculous. Like damn, people there are more important things. Kelly has always been a supporter. Let it go. Also ✨context✨

I saw the entire episode. I don’t think you did. And Travis was recently part of an SNL skit that agrees with you. You’re good. I can’t stop watching the Alanis episode. So awesome.

If anyone who ACTUALLY watches football doesn't think that the NFL was overdoing the TS coverage, then they're weird. If you DON'T watch football, allow me to inform you that the NFL was overdoing it lol. Can't believe anyone would come for Kelly for stating the obvious

And there you have it! Everybody knows Kelly is a Taylor fan, so the Swifties have her back.
You've been warned.
