[Saba Sports News] NBA player Richard Jefferson recently expressed his opinion on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s public relationship. While many in the sports world have been discussing this celebrity couple, Jefferson had a different take. On his ‘Road Trippin’ podcast, he made comments about Swift’s dating history and her songs about relationships.
Jefferson remarked, “This is where you don’t buy into the hype. There is a long line to date Taylor Swift, and it moves fast. She has lots of albums and has made a lot of money going through relationships. Do I care that it’s Travis Kelce’s turn? Not at all. And that’s not disrespectful. I am not talking about her personal life. I don’t care about who Kim Kardashian is dating. I don’t care about who Taylor Swift is dating.”
Taylor Swift has a well-documented dating history with famous figures like Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Tom Hiddleston, and Jake Gyllenhaal. Despite Jefferson’s comments, many sports fans appear to be supportive of her and Kelce.
The narrative Jefferson addressed, that Taylor Swift profits from writing songs about failed relationships, is a common one. Examples like her song ‘Lover’ (rumored to be about Joe Alwyn) and ‘Style’ (about Harry Styles) demonstrate the commercial success of her music based on past relationships.
It’s worth noting that Swift has faced public scrutiny about her dating life since her teenage years, often with older partners, such as John Mayer when she was 19 and he was 32. However, with a reported net worth of $600 million, Swift’s career remains incredibly successful, and she is unlikely to be fazed by comments like those made by Jefferson.
