One of the funniest things I\u2019ve seen this week are the TikToks where women are telling their boyfriends that Taylor Swift is going to help Travis Kelce make a name for himself and Tay will make him famous. The NFL dudes are steaming mad about it, because to them, Travis Kelce is one of the most famous men in the world. Like, I get it – he IS legitimately a huge deal in football, and football is an American obsession. But Taylor Swift is global, baby. There are now legions of Swifties paying attention to football because Taylor is dating \u201cthat guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
All of which to say, people are also suddenly paying a lot of attention to Travis\u2019s romantic history now too. The Snake Fam is arguably the largest investigative body ever assembled, and they\u2019ve spent more than a decade deciphering every clue, every Easter egg, every hint, every breadcrumb Taylor has ever given them. Running through Travis\u2019s history was easy-peasy. Some of what I\u2019m learning now is a total surprise – I actually didn\u2019t know he had a dating show called Chasing Kelce<\/em>. It was on that show that he met and fell for Maya Benberry. They were together for only a few months back in 2016, but she\u2019s already chiming in about his relationship with Swift. First, Maya \u201cliked\u201d a comment which called Taylor a \u201c5\u201d (yikes) and then Maya gave an interview to the Mail (via Page Six):<\/p>\n Travis Kelce\u2019s ex-girlfriend is sending Taylor Swift a stark warning. Amid the stars\u2019 budding romance, Maya Benberry claimed \u201cthe man that [she] knew him to be when [they] dated\u201d is an unfaithful one.<\/p>\n \u201cTaylor seems like such a fun girl with a beautiful spirit, so I wish her the best of luck, but I wouldn\u2019t be a girls\u2019 girl if I didn\u2019t advise her to be smart!\u201d Benberry, 31, told DailyMail.com Tuesday \u2014 even though she recently \u201cliked\u201d a comment calling the pop star a \u201c5.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m sure by now she has mastered the ability to see who is really there for her \u2014 and who is just using her.\u201d<\/p>\n The marketing and brand consulting expert \u2014 who dated the Kansas City Chiefs player for a few months in 2016 after winning his E! reality dating show, \u201cCatching Kelce\u201d \u2014 hopes Swift \u201ccomes out the teacher in this situation and not the student.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOnly time will tell,\u201d she went on, \u201cbut like the saying always goes: Once a cheater, always a cheater.\u201d<\/p>\n Though Benberry did not elaborate on her claims during the interview, she previously seemed to accuse Kelce, 33, of cheating on her with his next girlfriend, Kayla Nicole. \u201cWhen you and your ex broke up five months ago but you find out via social media that he\u2019s supposedly been in another relationship for 6\u2026\u201d she wrote in a since-deleted tweet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [From Page Six]<\/p>\n This is so Kardashian. This is the exact kind of situation in which Khloe would find herself. Anyway, \u201cKelce sources\u201d ran to TMZ to clap back at Maya, saying that she and Travis only dated for a month and it was mostly contractual (meaning, part of the show). The source also called her interview \u201cA poor excuse of someone trying to get her 15 min of fame.” It\u2019s true! It\u2019s also the kind of messy drama which Taylor kind of hates. She hates it when a man has adjacent drama. Taylor wants to be the only drama in his life.<\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Avalon Red, Instagram.<\/small><\/p>\n\n
