It’s no thriller why Travis Kelce skyrocketed in reputation — as did his New Heights podcast — when the Kansas Metropolis Chief started courting Taylor Swift. Followers eagerly tuned into his and his brother’s present to see what the tight finish needed to say about his romance. Now, it appears Wondery desires to know extra in regards to the impact Swift has on the present, however followers are taking concern with how the community went about discovering out.
Wondery — which spent massive bucks to re-up Travis and Jason Kelce’s standard podcast — despatched out a questionnaire, per Web page Six, that included a piece asking listeners to select from an inventory of causes they tune into New Heights. Swifties noticed crimson flags, nevertheless, when the songstress’ title began to seem within the listing of selections, and one X (Twitter) person responded:
The questions on Taylor and their relationship is so bizarre and gross. What is the purpose right here? In that case many individuals select these, Wondery will demand Travis to speak about Taylor and their non-public life? These questions ought to be eliminated.
Others echoed that concern, accusing Travis Kelce and the New Heights community with clout-chasing and making an attempt to see how they may use Taylor Swift to realize much more reputation. In accordance with alleged screenshots from the survey, choices listeners might select from reportedly included:
- I used to be drawn to the prospect of listening to particulars and clues about Taylor Swift’s life and her relationship with Travis.
- I like feeling like part of the neighborhood that helps Taylor’s happiness exterior of her music.
Extra fan reactions included:
- Take Taylor out of your questionnaires she has nothing to do with any of those … Achieved seeing her getting used as a advertising and marketing device – arms off – jacobleu9
- Kinda gross for Wondery to ask so many questions on Taylor and even ask about how possible somebody is to proceed to hear if Travis had been to retire 😕 – mrsmandyh08
- Survey is gross, Taylor not a part of NH – lisa_preece7
- Wondery+ doing a survey to see if exploiting Travis’ love life can be price it’s disgusting (and you already know that is what you had been doing 😑) – shelbells2
There was one possibility specifically, display captured by @Brooke_816 on X, that basically had the members of The Tortured Poets Division up in arms. That entry learn:
I’m excited to listen to particulars and easter eggs about Travis & Taylor’s relationship from the supply.
All people is aware of Taylor Swift’s penchant for together with easter eggs for her followers to tease upcoming new music or initiatives. Nevertheless, utilizing that time period to explain her relationship with Travis Kelce was in poor style, based on some followers, whose feedback included:
- A few of these questions mentioning Taylor Swift had been worded badly. Utilizing the phrase easter egg with reference to their relationship was not okay – emmalovesWEFIL
- Utilizing Taylor and Travis’s relationship for advertising and marketing like this isn’t it. Particularly utilizing the phrase “easter egg” about their non-public life. – CollinsMary2000
Whereas some did take the chance to fireplace pictures at Travis and new dad-of-four Jason Kelce, many made positive to place the blame on the community, declaring that this questionnaire would have come straight from Wondery’s advertising and marketing division. It’s unlikely that both of “the world’s favourite brothers” was conscious of the survey or its Taylor Swift-related questions.
Following the backlash, the Taylow Swift-related choices had been reportedly faraway from the survey.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been laying low for the reason that Eras Tour and soccer season ended, which might be good not just for the overexposed couple’s psychological well being however a great PR transfer as properly, based on some specialists.
So long as Taylor Swift is conserving to herself — little doubt plotting the discharge of Popularity (Taylor’s Model) — you would possibly have the ability to catch a point out of her over on the New Heights podcast. And Wondery would like to know if that’s why you’re there.
