Travis Kelce has been making headlines for several weeks now because of his high-profile blooming romance with Taylor Swift. And this week, he made headlines yet again – this time because of past actions on social media.
The 34-year-old football player is no longer active on Twitter. However, he used to be very candid in sharing his thoughts on the app between 2009 and 2011. Recently, his old tweets resurfaced, and they’ve been causing quite the stir among fans.
Now, Travis is speaking out to explain some of his old tweets. During the new episode of his new Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce, Travis shared his thoughts on his tweets becoming viral and inciting such huge reactions.
Travis said about his past tweets:
“I was just using Twitter as like a diary… I’m just out here saying nonsense.”
One of his old tweets read:
“I just gave a squirle a peice of bread and it straight smashed all of it!!!! I had no idea they ate bread like that!! Haha #crazy”
Travis jokingly said in response to this particular post that he “spelled squirrel like a jacka**.” Jason added:
“First of all, that’s the new spelling for squirrel. I’m only spelling squirrel like that from now on. I don’t know why its spelled the other way.”
Travis then said:
“I think the only reason it’s getting crushed is because the spelling, outside of that, I’d be pretty enjoyed if I — if I’m over here throwing bread around and a squirrel’s eating it, I’d be pretty pumped up.
This is why I don’t tweet anymore, because this is just nonsense.”
Another old tweet of his read:
“Sooo this teacher tried to call on me in class like I wasn’t paying attention, well I was and I didn’t fold under preasure, DUB.”
Jason said about that tweet:
“That’s a big dub.”
And Travis said:
“I don’t remember this at all.”
Travis shared that he wanted all of his tweets deleted when he joined the NFL:
“I’m like, ‘God, I want all those things to get deleted,’ and sure enough it came to surface level and everybody f——- dove into 2011. What a f——- year that was.”
