Travis Kelce, the NFL star, recently found himself in a playful yet intriguing situation on the "Bussin' With the Boys" podcast when Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriend, Jake Gyllenhaal, was brought up. The podcast hosts stumbled upon the topic of Swift's song "Karma," with one host labeling it as a favorite without knowing the backstory behind the 2022 track.

Curiosity sparked as one of the hosts, Will Compton, questioned, "‘Karma’ is Gyllenhaal, right? Was it Jake? Am I wrong?" Kelce, with a sly move, sidestepped the question and humorously asked, "What happened?"

Amidst laughter, Taylor Lewan, another host, enlightened Compton about the song's lyrics, emphasizing karma as "the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me." Compton, still puzzled, inquired whether the line previously referenced "the guy on the screen" during Swift's relationship with Joe Alwyn.

With a subtle gesture, Kelce scratched his leg and replied, "It was," leaving fans convinced that he playfully shaded the "Kinds of Kindness" star, Joe Alwyn, with his emphasis on "was."

Swifties took to social media to applaud Kelce for his witty responses, with one fan expressing how Kelce's handling of the situation sent them into orbit. Others humorously suggested creating a T-shirt with the phrase "it was."

Swift first altered the "Karma" lyric during a show in Buenos Aires in November 2023, continuing to make the change to honor Kelce. During a recent London Eras Tour show, Kelce celebrated the song by high-fiving an audience member.

Kelce and Swift's romance blossomed in the summer of 2023, with the couple publicly confirming their relationship in September as Swift began attending Kelce's games. Kelce praised Swift for being grounded and self-aware, enamored by her qualities.

Prior to dating Kelce, Swift had a brief fling with Matty Healy from the 1975 following her split from Joe Alwyn in April 2023 after a six-year relationship. Alwyn recently opened up about their challenging breakup in a London Times interview, acknowledging the gap between public perception and reality.

As for Swift's past with Jake Gyllenhaal, their short-lived relationship in late 2010 inspired Swift's song "All Too Well." Gyllenhaal faced backlash after the extended version of the song was released in 2021, criticizing fans for their behavior and emphasizing the need for civility.

Despite the playful shade and past relationships, Kelce and Swift's bond continues to flourish, captivating fans with their dynamic. The playful banter on the podcast sheds light on the intriguing dynamics between celebrities and their past relationships, adding a touch of humor to the narrative.

Travis Kelce's witty responses and subtle shades have sparked a wave of excitement among Swifties, showcasing the playful side of celebrity interactions and the intrigue surrounding Taylor Swift's iconic songs. As the drama unfolds, fans eagerly anticipate more playful exchanges and hidden references in the world of pop culture.
