Former UFC star Paige VanZant doesn’t think the love story between Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop sensation Taylor Swift is real.
In Wednesday’s episode of her Page and Austin podcast, the 29-year-old said the Kelce-Swift pairing is nothing more than a “publicity stunt.”
“I believe it’s 100 percent fake,” VanZant said. “It is publicity. It is—one, it’s huge for the NFL because yes, the NFL is big. Taylor Swift is huge, and now she’s getting an entirely different demographic to come watch the NFL. Think of the wives that are buying Travis Kelce jerseys now. … It’s good for Taylor Swift. It’s good for the NFL. It’s good for Travis Kelce. There is so much strategic stuff that’s happening.”
