Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is one of the most recognizable athletes in professional sports. In addition to being one of the most accomplished players at his position, Kelce is also dating 14-time Grammy Award winning musical artist Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n

Ever since the couple\u2019s relationship became public knowledge in September of 2023, the ten-time Pro Bowler has seen his own star explode. Of course, he was always well known among NFL fans because of his dominance on the field. However, his relationship with Swift made him more recognizable to fans outside of football.<\/p>\n

And while this high level of exposure has its benefits in terms of endorsements and paid appearances, it also has its drawbacks.<\/p>\n

Kansas City Chiefs Tight End Travis Kelce Called Out for Taylor Swift Questions on \u201cNew Heights\u201d Survey<\/h2>\n

One of the things Kelce is known for off of the football field is his podcast, \u201cNew Heights,\u201d which he hosts with his brother, Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce. Recently, the brothers signed a three-year deal with Amazon\u2019s Wondery worth over $100 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Heights\u201d is a fun podcast for fans because it gives them behind the scenes access to the Kelce brothers\u2019 lives, as well as interesting insight on how they as players view the game of football.<\/p>\n

Recently, \u201cNew Heights\u201d put out a survey for fans to fill out on social media. And while this sounds like a fun interactive idea, many fans, especially Swift\u2019s fans, were upset by the number of questions regarding the singer and her relationship with the Chiefs\u2019 tight end.<\/p>\n

92%ers, we want to hear from you!<\/p>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0questions about Taylor and their relationship is so weird and gross,\u201d one fan wrote on X. \u201cWhat\u2019s the goal here? If so many people choose those Wondery will demand Travis to talk about Taylor and their private life? Those questions should be removed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cY\u2019all have no shame @tkelce was the worst player on the field, now these clout chasing podcast bros are \u201cgiving away a jersey\u201d for your Data by milking Taylor\u2019s name \ud83d\ude44 Tay Plz cut these clout chasers off,\u201d another fan wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake Taylor out of your questionnaires she has nothing to do with any of these,\u201d wrote another.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to be so embarrassing. Why would they do this?\u201d another user asked.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see if either Travis or Jason address these comments when they stream their next episode. Clearly many fans are not happy about the questions.<\/p>\n

Of course, it should be noted that \u201cNew Heights\u201d has a production and social media team. Neither of the brothers likely had any involvement in the writing of questions for the survey.<\/p>\n
