6 David Letterman Told Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's Haters To Be Quiet

David Letterman has received a lot of flak since he was hired as the host of The David Letterman Show in 1980. From the time he flirted with Uma Thurman to when he was critical of Richard Simmons, he hasn't always been perfect. However, when it comes to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, he made a statement that many agree with: that the haters should be supportive instead.

In January 2024, according to Variety, Letterman posted on social media about the couple. While he made people laugh because he called Kelce 'Kelsey Grammer', he still said something interesting. Letterman spoke to people who want Swift to stay out of football or just want to enjoy the singer's music without thinking about sports.

He said:

“And I say to both camps, ‘This is such a lovely thing. Shut up!”

Letterman added:

“It’s good for the footballers. It’s good for Taylor Swift and it’s something positive and happy for the world. And also politically, Taylor Swift is a huge force, and I think just wants to see people do the right thing. So God bless Taylor Swift and [Kelce].”

Every year, the NFL players participating in the Super Bowl get asked a ton of questions during media day, and in 2024, Taylor Swift was top of mind for everyone. According to The Wrap, Patrick Mahomes talked about Swift's music and said, “I mean the ‘Anti-Hero’ song, that one’s pretty sweet, so I would say that. But I do love ‘Love Story.’ It gets me every single time."

Jimmy Kimmel said:

“What has become of us? What happened? It has to be a little weird when your teammate is obsessed with your girlfriend’s music, right?”

Based on Kimmel's comments, it sounds like he thought that Kelce might find it awkward that Mahomes loves Swift's music so much. However, some might say that Mahomes was just trying to be supportive of the relationship.

Whether people think that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will last or not, one thing is certain: their romance has definitely gotten a lot of publicity. In a 2023 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the late-night host said, “We are back and we have so much news to cover, but I’m gonna sum it up all in just two words: Taylor Swift. Goodnight everybody!"

He acted like he was going to leave the set, then said:

"If you took a drink every time they showed Taylor on TV, you’re in your hangover era."

While some might say that Fallon's comments were a little harsh, others would agree that ever since Swift and Kelce began dating, everyone has been talking about them. Between this comment and comparing Swift and Kelce to bedbugs, Fallon hasn't said the nicest things about this romance.

Travis Kelce's relationship with Taylor Swift can be stressful since he is in the public eye even more than before. According to Howard Stern, if the couple tied the knot, that would be great for Kelce's sports career.

When talking to Stephen A. Smith, who is a sports commentator, Stern said of the famous relationship:

“Travis Kelce has to marry Taylor Swift, right? He will then get a movie career, he’ll be bigger than the Rock. I mean, this is it. This is his chance.”

Smith said that from his perspective, Kelce doesn't need Swift for his career since, by the time of this writing, he has been on a football team that won three Super Bowls.
