Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s whirlwind romance has taken the world by storm these last few months – but some people still have their doubts about the courtship.
Barstool Sports star Brianna Chickenfry called the relationship ‘fake’ and branded Swift’s grand romantic gestures as ‘performative’ on an episode of the BFFs Pod.
Brianna – real name Brianna LaPaglia – weighed in with her controversial take as the podcasters discussed Taylor’s recent kiss with Travis following her concert in Buenos Aires.
‘There’s a lot of rumors – is it fake, is it real?’ her cohost David Portnoy wondered.
‘I feel like the more they do s**t like this, I think it’s fake,’ Brianna replied.
Her co-stars were surprised to hear her perspective. ‘They’re doing it for the cameras, no?’ she continued.
‘You can’t fake that, she’s not Pacino,’ her co-host said.
‘Not like fake… but it feels performative,’ she clarified, citing examples.
‘Changing the lyrics, jumping into his arms right when he’s waiting off stage so that everyone sees it,’ she added.
Her co-host insisted she had never changed the lyrics like that before.
‘So then maybe she’s just like really in love, but I don’t know, it feels a little…’ Brianna said.
‘She’s never done anything like that. Then changing the lyrics, running into his arms right off the stage when he could’ve just been waiting behind the stage,’ she said.
They then asked Brianna if her country singer boyfriend Zach Bryan had ever done similar things for her at shows.
‘No. Maybe we’re not end game,’ she joked.
Taylor sent Swifties into meltdown on Saturday night as she changed the lyrics to hit song Karma to include a few words about her NFL star boyfriend, who was watching in a VIP tent alongside her dad at her Buenos Aires concert.
Swift sang ‘Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me’ to replace the original lyric, ‘Karma is the guy on the screen coming straight home to me’.
Last week DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that the NFL star flew out of Kansas City on Thursday – making a one-hour stop in Panama City to refuel – before flying into Buenos Aires to reunite with Swift Friday afternoon.
He was set to watch two of the star’s Buenos Aires shows, but the first was postponed because of torrential rain – allowing her to have dinner with her NFL beau at the Four Seasons exclusive Elena restaurant instead.
Kelce spent Saturday night dancing and singing in a VIP tent at Swift’s Argentinian Eras Tour leg, alongside her father Scott.
A viral video captured the moment Kelce heard Swift’s improvisation, as it showed the superstar athlete smacking his hands to the side of face in utter astonishment, before he broke out a few smooth dance moves.
The lyric change wasn’t the only moment Taylor had Travis on her mind, as she also sang to him directly and mouthed the lyrics ‘that’s my man’ during her performance of ‘Willow’.
At the end of the show, Kelce was waiting in the wings to greet his girlfriend and the smitten Grammy winner ran into his arms before they shared a kiss.
In an apparent seal of approval, Scott — who was only just recently introduced to Kelce — was photographed wearing a Chiefs lanyard around his neck despite being a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan.
