Travis Kelce 'taken aback' as Jana Kramer claims he's a bad influence on GF Taylor Swift
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Travis Kelce, the Kansas Chiefs tight end and Taylor Swift's boyfriend has reportedly been "taken aback" by claims made by singer and actress Jana Kramer.
Kramer, on her May 5 podcast, alleged that Kelce is a bad influence on Swift due to his partying habits, claiming he is "always drunk," and reminds her of her ex-husband, former NFL player Mike Caussin.

"He reminds me of my ex," the 'One Tree Hill' TV star, 40, told Josie Van Dyke during the Sunday, May 5, episode of her 'Whine Down' podcast.
Kramer has a history of making public criticisms of other celebrities. For instance, the publication noted that in 2023, she called Brody Jenner the “absolute worst” date she’d been on.

Travis Kelce dismisses Jana Kramer’s comments as 'clout-chase'
“Travis and co. feel like this is just more of the same and that she only invoked his name to clout-chase,” A source told TMZ, which they believe worked. But at the same time, “Travis isn’t paying it any mind,” the insider added.
During the Sunday episode of her ‘Whine Down’ podcast, while comparing Kelce to her husband, Kramer added, “But it just feels a little corny, cheesy. It just feels like he’s loving the attention.”
Jana Kramer's issues began when Travis Kelce expressed his aggression on the field
Kramer further revealed that she initially ‘loved’ the couple’s PDA-filled relationship, like when Swift and Kelce, both 34, kissed on the field right after Kansas City’s AFC Championship win.
But Kramer then started to take note of some of the Chiefs tight end’s behavioral patterns.
“Honestly, the Super Bowl thing rubbed me kind of the wrong way - the aggression there,” she said, referencing Kelce yelling at and pushing Chiefs head coach Andy Reid during this year’s game in Las Vegas.
She went on to say, "And then I've just kind of heard things that I don't love. But again, I just want everyone to be happy is what I'll default to."
"I don't know, it's something about him that reminds me of my ex that just rubs me the wrong way," Kramer continued.
"To me, he's always drunk. Every time I've ever seen a video he's just always drunk. And I hope she doesn't go on that. I see her drinking more now, like the company you keep," she alleged according to Daily Mail.
