Travis Kelce is at the top of his game right now in terms of his career as well as love life with pop sensation Taylor Swift.

Carving an opportunity out of the same, NFL star Tom Brady has put Kelce under fire on his roast show on Netflix.

Wasting no time in poking fun at the Chiefs, their fans, and even Taylor Swift enthusiasts, Brady left no stone unturned.
“Kansas City, you say your stadium is the loudest? It helps when your fans are 14-year-old girls,” he said before linking the Chiefs’ recent success to Travis Kelce’s relationship with the pop star. “And in honor of Tay Tay, let’s take a look at the Chiefs’ eras: terrible for 50 years, good for five, shake it off,” Brady joked, referring to Taylor Swift.

There is no doubt that Travis Kelce has propelled to popularity with great speed since he started dating the pop sensation. The two have constantly been supporting each other with Taylor Swift showing up for almost all of Kelce’s games and him cheering on her during her concerts.
While Taylor is already a megastar, her relationship with Kelce has also made him more prominent in the public eye. Even his NFL team gained more popularity, with an increased fanbase and a significant improvement in sales. So what Tom Brady said is not entirely just roast, it certainly has some amount of truth to it.

Tom Brady Has An Old On-Field Rivalry With Travis Kelce’s Team
The rivalry Tom Brady has with Travis Kelce’s team goes long back. Throughout his career, Tom Brady has played against the Chiefs several times, including some historic matchups at Arrowhead Stadium.
During one such showdown in the 2018 American Football Conference title game, Kansas City rallied from a 14-0 halftime deficit to force overtime. Yet, Brady was seen handling the pressure with grace as he led the Patriots to a dramatic 37-31 victory, and eventually clinched a Super Bowl LIII victory.
To date, there have been 13 starts where Brady directly faced the Chiefs, and has so far amassed an 8-5 record. With 20 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions against Kansas City, Brady’s prowess on the field even outshined the home-field advantage that the Chiefs had in some of their matches. Brady, thus, has been a powerful player who has often managed to give tough competition to Kelce’s team on the field.
The ‘Roast of Tom Brady‘ is now streaming on Netflix.
