Just like moon landing skeptics and flat-earthers, there are individuals who remain unconvinced about the authenticity of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship.
TikToker Brianna Chickenfry, in particular, has expressed doubts, describing the high-profile couple’s relationship as “fake” and “performative” during a recent conversation on the “BFFs” podcast with co-hosts Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards. Chickenfry questioned the behavior of the pop star and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end during Swift’s Eras Tour show in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

During the performance of her song “Karma,” Swift altered the lyrics to reference Kelce, singing, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.” Videos captured Kelce’s surprised and delighted reaction, and after the show, Swift embraced him in a public display of affection.
Chickenfry expressed skepticism, suggesting that their actions seemed orchestrated for the cameras. Despite some pushback from Portnoy and Richards, she maintained her perspective, stating, “Not, like, fake, but why are they doing it? It feels performative. Changing the lyrics, jumping into his arms right when he’s waiting off stage so that everyone sees it?”
While Portnoy and Richards pointed out that Swift has not altered lyrics or mentioned names in her songs amid other relationships, Chickenfry persisted in her doubt, acknowledging the possibility of genuine love but remaining skeptical of the public nature of their displays of affection.
As with any high-profile relationship, speculation and analysis of public gestures are inevitable, leading to varying opinions on the authenticity of celebrity romances.
It’s also incredibly difficult to take relationship advice from someone named Brianna Chickenfry.
