Stephen A. Smith of ESPN has had it with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. However, Kelce’s annoyance with all the publicity is what Smith is upset about.
It is not the attention the NFL and beyond are giving the sexiest coupling in recent gossip magazine memory that has Smith angry.
Smith said on First Take ;
“Travis Kielce stop,”
“Bro you did this. Not the NFL.”
Smith takes issue with remarks made by Kelce and his brother Jason, an Eagles center, on their podcast New Heights. Both brothers claimed in the most recent episode that Swift had received “overdoing it” treatment from the NFL when she attended two recent Chiefs games to watch him play.

Stephen A. Smith believes that Travis Kelce knew all along what he was doing
Smith was having none of it, claiming that Kelce was acting intelligently and drawing attention to himself.
Smith said regarding Chief’s star’s initial attempt at trying to woo Taylor Swift ,
“You let the world know you got that little bracelet made for her, and you wanted to give her your phone number,”
“Come on bro. Listen, it’s all in fun. Maybe it’s a bit excessive. People trying to capitalize off it attention-wise, monetize it, I get it. But the instigator in all of this was you, my brother.”
“I ain’t mad about it now!” “It’s not a bad decision! It has seemed to be very beneficial to you. More power to you. But you did it.”
