Breaking News: Bill Maher Gives Blunt Opinion on Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift: ‘He’s Gonna Dump Her’

Maher, 68, criticized the pop star’s behavior during the early days of her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.

“I’m sure she’s a lovely person, but the whole thing with the football player,” Maher said.

“I just felt like 35 was a little old to be like, ‘My boyfriend’s a football player and I wear his jersey to the game with his number on it!’ I mean, come on.”

Welch, 21, defended Swift, 34, from Maher’s barbs, saying, “Whatever makes her happy. If that’s what she wants to do and it makes her happy, it ain’t got nothin’ to do with me.”

“He’s gonna dump her, though, You know that?” Maher said. “With her, it’s like the Gatorade at the Super Bowl, you know you’re gonna get dumped. You just don’t know when.”

Welch, who called herself a fan of Swift’s music, said she “really liked her when I was growing up” and optimistically mused about what a theoretical breakup might mean.
