Travis Kelce’s Reaction To Harrison Butker Aren’t What Taylor Swift Fans Hoped For

Published

on

 

So far in 2024, Travis Kelce had been making perhaps the most off-season headlines of any Kansas City Chiefs player, thanks to Travis’s relationship with Taylor Swift.

But in May, he may have been surpassed by kicker Harrison Butker whose speech at the May 11 commencement ceremony for Benedictine College went viral. Butker’s speech touched on several hot-button issues from abortion to COVID lockdowns to men’s and women’s “rightful” (well, what he thought was rightful) positions in life
Critics slammed Butker’s speech online, with some calling it misogynistic, and one frequently referenced section by critics was when Butker spoke to the women in the audience, saying that they “have had the most diabolical lies told to you. […] Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world” (via Today).

On an episode of the “New Heights” podcast, Jason Kelce asked Travis about the speech. While Swifties may have been hoping for a full-throated denouncement of some of the more problematic aspects of Butker’s commencement address, Travis took the diplomatic route. “I can’t say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids,” Travis said, “and I don’t think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views, of how to go about life, that’s just not who I am.”

Travis Kelce isn’t going to throw his teammate under the bus

As the conversation on the “New Heights” podcast continued between Travis and Jason Kelce about the Harrison Butker commencement speech, they seemed to be of the mindset that you’re not going to agree with everything that everyone else thinks, but you can still work with them. In the NFL, Travis said, “you get so many different walks of life, you get so many different beliefs,” but that they are still able to come together and do the job. Travis’s response was similar to that of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback — for them, Butker’s a good guy and a good teammate, but they don’t agree with all his life perspectives.

Prince William’s Heartbreaking Confession: The Secret Royal Pregnancy That Shattered Tradition and Exposed Palace Turmoil. In a rare and deeply emotional public address, Prince William confirmed that Princess Catherine is expecting her fourth child. Unlike the usual joyous royal announcements, this revelation came with a heavy tone of vulnerability and concern, reflecting months of secrecy and anxiety behind palace walls. Catherine’s extended absence from public life sparked rumors, but the true reason was a complicated and high-risk pregnancy that involved emergency medical consultations and intense privacy measures. The royal family faced unprecedented internal tensions, with William choosing to shield his wife’s condition from even senior royals, including King Charles and Queen Camilla, leading to a power struggle within the monarchy. Behind the scenes, debates about succession, royal protocol, and the implications of a potentially hereditary condition complicated matters further. Catherine’s handwritten letter, read aloud after William’s speech, revealed her personal fears, resilience, and the deep love she holds for her unborn child despite the uncertainty. The announcement has stirred public empathy and a rare moment of unity, but it also exposed cracks in the royal institution and sparked discussions about privacy, duty, and the future of the monarchy.

Why Didn’t The Cosby Show Reunion Happen at Michelle Thomas’ Farewell? The Heartbreaking Realities Behind the Curtain. Michelle Thomas, beloved for her roles as Justine Phillips on The Cosby Show and Myra Monk House on Family Matters, tragically passed away at the age of 30 after battling a rare cancer. Her funeral was a private, intimate affair honoring her wishes for simplicity and seclusion, held during the busy Christmas holiday season. This timing, combined with the private nature of the Islamic service and her relatively brief tenure on The Cosby Show, meant that many cast members were unable to attend. The absence of the full Cosby Show cast was not due to neglect or conflict, but rather practical constraints, respect for Michelle’s wishes, and the realities of their personal and professional lives. Despite the limited attendance, heartfelt tributes poured in from family, close friends, and colleagues, especially from Malcolm-Jamal Warner, her former boyfriend and lifelong confidant. Michelle’s legacy endures through her memorable performances, the inspiration she gave to young actors, and the warmth she brought to audiences worldwide.

“10 MINUTES AGO: A COURTSIDE MOMENT NO ONE EXPECTED — ADULT ACTRESS SOPHIE RAIN SHOWED UP TO CHEER FOR LEBRON JAMES, BUT ONE SWEET GESTURE SET OFF A TENSE REACTION FROM SAVANNAH JAMES” What began as a normal night at the arena spiraled into a moment people are now replaying frame by frame. Just seconds after LeBron James returned to the bench, murmurs erupted as Sophie Rain was spotted courtside — unmistakable, composed, and clearly there for one reason. Witnesses say she rose slightly from her seat, clapped slowly, then offered a soft, deliberate gesture in LeBron’s direction — the kind meant to be seen by exactly one person.

People nearby describe her stare as “laser-focused,” before she moved decisively toward the two women seated near her husband. The air around the bench changed instantly — conversations stopped, heads snapped around, and even players seemed distracted. No words were heard, but the body language said everything: tension, territory, and a line silently being drawn. By the time security subtly closed ranks, the moment had already exploded online — leaving everyone asking the same question: what exactly happened in those few silent seconds that made the arena feel like it might erupt?… Watch full clip below👇

🔥 BREAKING: Ivanka Tried to Humiliate Obama in Public — Minutes Later, She Regretted It ⚡ What started as a carefully staged public moment quickly spiraled into an unexpected reversal after Ivanka Trump took a pointed swipe at Barack Obama, clearly expecting applause—or at least silence. Instead, Obama responded with calm precision. No raised voice. No visible anger. Just a measured pause, a slight smile, and a response so controlled it instantly flipped the room. The crowd shifted. The tension was palpable. Within seconds, Ivanka’s attempted jab lost all momentum. Obama didn’t insult her. He didn’t even directly challenge her.

The reaction was immediate: murmurs, then applause, then full recognition that the moment had turned. Observers say Ivanka visibly froze as the exchange slipped out of her control. What was meant to be a public put-down became a quiet lesson in composure and authority. Online reactions exploded, with viewers calling it “effortless,” “surgical,” and “a masterclass in restraint.” 👇 The moment is now spreading fast online — watch the exchange that completely backfired in real time before it disappears from your timeline… 👇🔥
