Before he started dating pop star Taylor Swift, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce spent much of his free time hanging around some of the biggest names in sports.
Kelce’s celebrity status has elevated thanks to dating a mega star like Swift, whom he’s been dating for over a year-and-a-half and who he spends most of his free time with.
And one popular sports-media personality seemingly believes that because Kelce and Swift have seemed inseparable since their whirlwind romance began during the summer of 2023, he no longer has time for him.
FS1’s Nick Wright, who hosts the show “First Things First” on the network and the podcast “What’s Wright? With Nick Wright,” used to hang out with Kelce quite frequently, but seems like it’s no longer the case.
However, that might change given what Kelce said on the most recent episode of his “New Heights” podcast, which he hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, when they two discussed bringing on an NFL salary cap expert for a future show.
“Who should we have on?” Jason asked. “Obviously, the two big ones for both of us are Howie (Roseman) and (Brett) Veach, the two general managers for our respective teams. … We could go outside of the organization and go with someone who maybe is used to working in the NFL or works in the media. Nick Wright threw his hat in the ring on Twitter. Known Kansas City Chiefs homer.”
“[Expletive] love Nick Wright,” Travis replied.
Kelce’s comments traveled fast, and Wright responded to what he said during Friday’s episode of his podcast, while also giving a little context about the role Swift played in he and Kelce no longer palling around.
“My guy Trav; what a delight,” Wright stated. “So here is the thing, Trav and I have not like talked talked since he has been serious with Taylor Swift, since he’s become a super-duper celebrity. I don’t want to bother him during the year. And then last offseason, he was traveling the world with Taylor.
"And then at the parade last year, we were going to get together after the parade. But there was obviously the tragedy and the shooting. So everything went askew. I haven’t talked to Trav in a while.
