While Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift seem to be enjoying a perfect romance, a hidden chapter from Kelce’s past may cause trouble for his pop star fiancée. Insiders say Swift is concerned about certain revelations from Kelce’s past and his career. Here’s the latest scoop on the celebrity couple.
Travis Kelce’s past is haunting Taylor Swift, insiders say
Travis Kelce has quite a great image in the NFL, but there is also one standout moment in his career that he won’t be very proud of. Though most of his glittering career has been without any issue, Kelce was suspended from the University of Cincinnati football team in 2010 for failing a drug test for marijuana. It seems that this has resurfaced since, leaving Swift worried.
Kelce was barred from the Sugar Bowl that year, and he described this period as a wake-up call. He even did therapy and got back on track. While this chapter of Kelce’s life is definitely over now, Swift is reportedly “haunted” by the revelation, according to sources close to her.
One Insider told Radar, “Taylor hates that this has become a talking point again. She’s spent years crafting a clean, family-friendly image, and she’s terrified that something from Travis’s past could smear that.” Another source added, “She’s incredibly proud of how hard he’s worked to turn his life around – but this story coming back up makes her feel exposed. Taylor’s brand thrives on control and positivity, and this just isn’t part of that narrative.”
While sources say that Swift has remained supportive of her fiancé in private, she is afraid of the legal implications of this. “She’s been advised that, technically, prior drug admissions can create issues for U.S. re-entry under federal law,” another source said.
While it seems to be a trivial matter, Taylor Swift’s image is too big to risk even small controversies right now. Another insider added, “Taylor’s worked too hard to keep her image spotless. She doesn’t want Travis’s past – however old it is – to haunt her now.”
