Ed Kelce expressed his disapproval of Kanye West's mention of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift in his song 'Lifestyle (Demo).' West's lyric, 'I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce,' sparked controversy, with Ed Kelce calling it a display of 'mental illness.' The rapper, who has been open about his bipolar disorder, referenced the couple in a play on words.
Swift and Kelce, both 34, have not publicly responded to the name drop. However, Swift's fans speculated that her choice of attire during a recent concert hinted at a subtle response to West's mention. The pop star wore a T-shirt with the phrase 'I Bet You Think About Me,' which some fans interpreted as a possible clapback.
The history between Swift and West dates back to the infamous incident at the 2009 MTV VMAs when West interrupted Swift's acceptance speech. Despite subsequent public feuds, including West's controversial lyric about Swift in his song 'Famous,' the two artists have seemingly moved past their conflicts.
In a recent interview, Swift reflected on the impact of the public drama on her mental health, revealing the toll it took on her psychologically. She described feeling isolated and distrusting others after the incident, leading her to retreat from public life for a period.
Swift's latest album, 'The Tortured Poets Department,' features a track titled 'thanK you aIMee,' which is seen as her final statement on the matter. Sources close to Swift have indicated that she has chosen to focus on moving forward and leaving the past behind.
