Travis Kelce<\/b><\/a> revealed that <\/span>Kanye West<\/b><\/a> is not included on his \u201chype playlist\u201d amid the rapper\u2019s ongoing feud with <\/span>Taylor Swift<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n During a media day on Wednesday, February 5, ahead of the Super Bowl, one reporter asked Travis, 35, \u201cI know you\u2019re dating Taylor, but do you have any Kanye [West] on your hype playlist?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo,\u201d Travis, 35, bluntly responded, according to People<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n The question was asked in light of Taylor, 35, and Ye\u2019s complicated history<\/span><\/a>, which began when the \u201cGold Digger\u201d rapper, 47, interrupted her acceptance speech during the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009 to announce that he believed <\/span>Beyonc\u00e9<\/b> should have won in the category.<\/p>\n Taylor and Ye appeared to work through their issues, though their feud resumed in 2016 when he released the song \u201cFamous.\u201d In the controversial song, Ye raps, \u201cI feel like me and Taylor might still have sex\/ Why? I made that bitch famous.\u201d<\/p>\n Shortly after Taylor expressed her disapproval of the song, Ye claimed that she gave him permission to use the lyrics. However, her rep denied his allegations and explained that she took issue with him saying, \u201cI made that bitch famous.\u201d<\/p>\n Kim Kardashian<\/strong>, who Ye was married to at the time of the scandal, later released audio recordings of an alleged conversation between him and Taylor. In the audio, the \u201cI Knew You Were Trouble\u201d singer seemingly approved the lyric, \u201cI feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.\u201d<\/p>\n The Kardashians<\/em> star<\/a>, 44, insisted that Ye didn\u2019t do anything wrong, though Taylor doubled down on her concerns by claiming she wasn\u2019t aware he would refer to her as \u201cthat bitch\u201d in the song.<\/p>\n The feud first began more than a decade ago, though Taylor admitted it still impacted her when she was named Time<\/em>\u2019s Person of the Year<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n \u201cMake no mistake, my career was taken away from me<\/a>. You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cThat took me down psychologically to a place I\u2019ve never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn\u2019t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn\u2019t trust anymore. I went down really, really hard.\u201d<\/p>\n While Travis revealed that Ye is not on his \u201chype playlist,\u201d he didn\u2019t share any of the artists that he listens to while preparing for games. However, he has openly complimented Taylor\u2019s music<\/a> after they started dating in the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2018Death By a Thousand Cuts\u2019 is one that I\u2019ve learned to absolutely love,\u201d Travis said about Taylor\u2019s discography during a November 2024 episode of his \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast. \u201cI\u2019ve watched Tay\u2019s [2019 NPR] Tiny Desk and she played it on that one and that\u2019s where I think I fell in love with it.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked by fans to share his \u201cfavorite song\u201d of Taylor\u2019s, Travis added, \u201cI mean, \u2018Blank Space\u2019 is a song that I\u2019ll always listen to, forever,\u201d the professional athlete said. \u201cIt\u2019s just unbelievable. Everything about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
