Bill Maher is not convinced that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will hear wedding bells in the future.
On his “Club Random” podcast, Maher, 68, criticized Swift’s behavior in the early days of her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, saying it was unbecoming of a 35-year-old woman.
“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.”
Haliey Welch, Maher’s guest, defended Swift, 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.”
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are all anyone can talk about. Swift and Kelce were first linked in July 2023 when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared he attempted to ask Swift out after attending her Eras Tour. “I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I […]
Maher continued to criticize the high-profile romance, saying, “He’s gonna dump her, though, You know that?”
Welch optimistically mused about what a theoretical breakup might mean, saying, “You gotta think about it this way… If he does that, can you imagine the next album we’re gonna get off of that?”
Maher questioned whether Swift continuing to sing about her exes was “very tacky” and suggested she might need to flip the script. “It does seem like such a recurrent theme,” he argued. “At some point, you just wanna say, maybe you should write a song called ‘Maybe It’s Me.'”
While Swift and Kelce, both 34, appear to be going strong, a source told Us in May that the NFL star had “no plans” on proposing anytime soon.
“It’s not even on his radar,” the insider added. “Marriage is something he takes very seriously and not something he would ever just jump into without giving it some careful consideration.”
