Travis Kelce’s Dad Has Some Thoughts on Ye’s Latest Taylor Swift Lyric
Swift and Kelce were briefly mentioned on Ye’s “Lifestyle (Demo)” track
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift arrive at SNL Afterparty on October 15, 2023 in New York City.
The father of Travis Kelce took to Facebook on Thursday (Aug. 8) to post a Daily Mail article that spotlights a lyric on Ye’s long-awaited and long overdue Vultures 2 album with Ty Dolla $ign. Ye featured a lyrical reference to Taylor Swift’s romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. “I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce,” Lil Wayne raps on the track “Lifestyle (Demo).”
“Mental illness on full display,” Ed wrote in response. See the post here.
While the lyric is quite tame, it’s an added layer to the years of bad blood between Swift and Ye, which started with West interrupting Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. It’s also hardly the first time Ye has mentioned Swift in his lyrics, as the infamous track “Famous” featured the line: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why? I made that b—- famous.”
Swift has yet to respond to the lyric herself. The singer’s Eras Tour stops in Vienna, Austria, were canceled earlier this week following a terrifying threat of violence. Associated Press reported that the main suspect in the case, a 19-year-old male, confessed that he planned to “kill as many people as possible” outside Ernst Happel Stadium, where Swift was scheduled to perform from August 8 to 10.
The superstar, who kicked off the European leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour in May, will be stopping at Wembley Stadium in London before she’ll swing back through the United States and Canada for one last leg before closing out the Eras Tour in December.
