Travis Kelce dismisses Jana Kramer’s comments as 'clout-chase'

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.
