Yes, Travis Kelce knows you’ve been digging through his diary. On a recent episode of his podcast, New Heights, Kelce said he’s aware that “nonsense†posts from when he used “Twitter as, like, a diary†are going viral. When a celebrity’s decade-old tweets start trending, it’s usually bad news. To be fair, Kelce did make some posts in the 2010s that have been criticized as fatphobic and ableist. But those tweets have since been deleted, meaning that for the most part, fans who go searching through Kelce’s account won’t find much aside from some endearing misspellings (see: “squirle,†“goat-cart racing,†“hallariousâ€) and concise thoughts on topics like wanting to take a nap, hating school, being hungry, and needing a phone charger. As a result, much of the internet seems to have decided that the Chiefs tight end’s vibe is akin to that of a lovable, textable dog. A Chipotle in Kansas City recently renamed a location “Chipolte†in honor of one of a younger Kelce’s most common typos.
Kelce didn’t exactly defeat the himbo allegations in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal. While praising Taylor Swift’s songwriting ability, he reflected, “I’ve never been a man of words. Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f- - -ing mind-blowing. I’m learning every day.†Still, the football player/Christmas-carol singer should give himself some credit. Along with all the posts he made in his 20s about food, he also shared plenty of deeper, dare we say lyrical thoughts. So much so, in fact, that some of them call to mind his fellow teenage dirtbag. Below, we sorted Kelce’s diary entries as Swift’s diaries (a.k.a. her albums and eras).
