In an interview with “EWTN News in Depth,” Harrison Butker admitted that he’s one of the celebs who is invested in Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship. He got to meet Swift through his teammate and had nothing but praise for her. “She was just so humble and so gracious,” he said. He added that he would love to see Kelce marry Swift and have kids with her. After hearing what he said during his commencement speech, some Swifties don’t think his sentiment is as sweet as it first seemed. “He thought they should get married because he think[s] premarital sex is a sin. This guy is a piece of work,” one fan wrote on the Taylor Swift subreddit. Another added, “And so she can quit being a world-renowned superstar so she can be a breeder for the Lord.” Swifties were also furious that Butker belittled the 14-time Grammy winner when he decided that the only achievement he was going to give her credit for was being his “teammate’s girlfriend.” One fan quipped, “The smallest man who ever kicked.”
Butker made many other remarks that Swift likely would not want her name associated with, from railing against Pride Month and abortion access to warning students about “the tyranny of diversity, equity, and inclusion.” Players gonna play, but as diehard Swiftie Flavor Flav tweeted, “Sounds like some players need to stay in their lanes’ and shouldn’t be giving commencement speeches.”
