Travis Kelce Still Loves Taylor Swift’s Most Heavily Criticized Song — The Reason Has Swifties Smiling.
Taylor Swift has never been a stranger to divided reactions.
But “Cleveland!” may have created one of the most amusing splits yet.
Released September 25 as part of The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, the song immediately became a major talking point because of its very personal connection to Travis Kelce. The title refers to the Cleveland area where Kelce grew up, while the lyrics celebrate his hometown, their relationship and the fact that he loves Swift despite the constant criticism surrounding her.
And while critics have not exactly been gentle with the track, Kelce has made his position crystal clear.
He likes it.
A lot.
During an episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis reacted enthusiastically to the song, saying, “Cleveland is rocking right now!” He then praised Swift for giving the city “a little more life.” His brother Jason Kelce was equally enthusiastic, describing the song as “incredible.”
That reaction becomes even more entertaining when compared with the response elsewhere.
Some critics have questioned the songwriting and production of the expanded album, while “Cleveland!” has become one of the tracks attracting the most ridicule. One report described the song as being heavily criticized despite the Kelce family’s obvious enthusiasm for it.
