In a recent interview, former Kansas City Chiefs player Tyreek Hill made a playful jab at his former teammate Travis Kelce, suggesting that the tight end has been too preoccupied with dating pop sensation Taylor Swift to respond to his text messages. Hill, who played for the Chiefs from 2016 to 2021 before being traded to the Miami Dolphins, also revealed that he has not been in contact with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes since their game in Germany on November 5, 2023.

Hill jokingly mentioned that Kelce, who is currently dating Taylor Swift, might be "still on his Taylor Swift thing" when asked why he hadn't received a response from him. The wide receiver expressed a lighthearted disappointment, stating that he believes his former teammates have become too famous for him now.

However, Hill's playful comments were not received well by some fans, who criticized him for throwing shade at Kelce and Swift's relationship. Many took to Twitter to express their disapproval, suggesting that Hill should not burn bridges after leaving the team and that he should consider himself lucky to not be blocked by his former teammates.

Despite the backlash, there were also supporters who defended Hill's comments, calling him a legend during his time as a Chief and suggesting that he was just joking around.

This is not the first time Hill has touched on Kelce's relationship with Taylor Swift. A few months ago, during a press conference in November 2023, he chose not to comment on their budding romance, jokingly saying that he would not "felting into that." Hill will have the opportunity to reunite with Kelce and Mahomes on the field at Arrowhead Stadium during Saturday's Chiefs vs. Dolphins game.

Travis Kelce's popularity has soared since he started dating Taylor Swift last summer. Many Swift fans, known as "Swifties," have playfully credited the "Lover" singer for putting the two-time Super Bowl winner on the map. Kelce recently hinted at his Valentine's Day plans with Swift on his "New Heights" podcast, further fueling the interest in their relationship.

As the game between the Chiefs and Dolphins approaches, all eyes will be on the reunion of Hill, Kelce, and Mahomes on the field. Whether their off-field banter will have any impact on their performance remains to be seen, but it is clear that Hill's comments have sparked conversation among fans and media alike.
