Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) demonstrated his respect for Taylor Swift during a recent appearance on ‘Hot Ones Versus’ with Trippie Redd. When asked to name three negative qualities about Swift or consume a spicy chicken wing, MGK opted to avoid any conflict with her devoted fans.
Addressing the camera directly, the 34-year-old musician asserted, ‘You have to be out of your motherf–king mind if you think I want any smoke with that fanbase.’ MGK went on to express his admiration for the ‘Fortnight’ singer, describing her as ‘a saint’ and recounting only positive interactions with her.
Trippie Redd humorously suggested that MGK ‘kiss her feet while you’re at it,’ to which MGK responded by reiterating Taylor’s kindness. He added that her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who hails from MGK’s hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, is ‘my bro.’
To emphasize his genuine appreciation for Swift, MGK finally succumbed to the challenge and ate the spicy chicken wing, even singing a few lines from her song ‘I Knew You Were Trouble.’
MGK’s positive remarks align with his previous actions involving Taylor and Travis. In November, he offered to entice Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce to play for the Cleveland Browns with a million dollars, daily breakfasts, and donations to their respective high schools. The trio further solidified their friendship in February when Travis took Taylor on a double date with MGK and his fiancée Megan Fox in Las Vegas following Travis’ Super Bowl victory.
Their bond has since flourished, with Taylor and Travis embarking on a journey that began in July 2023. Their initial meeting occurred when Taylor’s Eras Tour stopped at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, where Travis, an ardent Swiftie, planned to present her with a friendship bracelet bearing his number. However, he was unable to connect with her due to her pre-show rituals.
Despite the missed opportunity, Travis remained persistent and reached out to Taylor, inviting her to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium. They continued to communicate, with Travis revealing that they had spent a ‘significant amount of time’ getting to know each other before their official public debut.
As their relationship progressed, Taylor introduced Travis to her squad, including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski, during a Chiefs game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Taylor also formed a close bond with Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Travis’ best friend and teammate Patrick Mahomes.
Their romance extended beyond the sports arena, with the couple making a surprise appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live’ in October. They also attended the after-party and enjoyed a date night at the Waverly Inn.
Travis supported Taylor during her Eras Tour, traveling to Argentina to catch a show and receiving a special shoutout from Taylor on stage. Their affection was evident in a passionate kiss they shared backstage.
Taylor addressed the attention surrounding her appearances at Travis’ games, emphasizing that they simply enjoy supporting each other without the need for secrecy.
The relationship reached a new level when Taylor brought her father to cheer on Travis at a December game, signaling her commitment to his family.
They spent New Year’s Eve together, sharing a romantic kiss as the clock struck midnight. Taylor continued to connect with Travis’ family, attending a game with his brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce.
The couple’s bond deepened during the Chiefs’ AFC Championship victory, where they shared a celebratory kiss and exchanged the ‘L-word.’ Their affection was further displayed on the field after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl triumph in Las Vegas, where they passionately kissed and Taylor posted footage of Travis on social media.
MGK’s admiration for Taylor and his decision to maintain a positive relationship with her fans reflect the evolving dynamics within the entertainment industry.
