Despite the many health struggles her parents have faced, Andrea and Scott Swift always prioritized Taylor's dreams and passion for music.
During the November 22 episode of his New Heights podcast, which Travis co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, the NFL star admitted he’s been trying to get some of his past social media posts wiped for a while, potentially even before his romance with Taylor began.
“I will say that I’ve been trying to get all those tweets deleted,” Travis admitted, Hollywood Life notes.
“Like, since I’ve gotten to the league, I’ve been like, ‘Gosh, I want all those things to get deleted,’” Travis went on. “And sure enough, it came to surface level and everybody f****** dove into 2011.”
Travis Explained Why His Past Posts Embarrass Him
In response, Travis’ brother Jason said, “I think we all have tweets that we would love to have deleted.”
“I was just using Twitter as, like, a diary,” Travis explained of why he finds his past posts embarrassing. “I’m just out here saying nonsense.”
Travis has already been criticized for some of his past social media behavior. On The View, Joy Behar read some of his old posts aloud, noting they were “disparaging” and made Travis look like an “idiot.”
“Here’s one of his tweets, ‘Damn, the Clippers girls gotta be the girls that don’t make the Lakers team ’cause they was all ugly,’” she said on the show.
Another one of Travis’ tweet even referenced Taylor. “I’m a Swiftie,” it said. “I love her because she’s getting young people out to vote so I don’t want her to be stuck with this idiot.”
Travis’ Past Has Caught Up To Him Before
Travis’ past was also recently exposed by one of his ex-girlfriends, Maya Benberry, who says their 2016 romance ended when she discovered he was cheating on her. Maya issued a public warning for Taylor to be careful of Travis’ intentions.
“Taylor seems like such a fun girl with a beautiful spirit so I wish her the best of luck but I wouldn’t be a girls' girl if I didn’t advise her to be smart!” Maya told Daily Mail.

Taylor Swift has been happily dating Travis Kelce for the last several weeks, but before him she had plenty of older boyfriends.
“I’m sure by now she has mastered the ability to see who is really there for her - and who is just using her,” she went on. “I can only hope that she comes out the teacher in this situation and not the student.”
“The man that I knew him to be when we dated,” Maya added. “Only time will tell but like the saying always goes, once a cheater, always a cheater.”
Travis and Taylor haven’t publicly responded to Maya’s comments, but with reports the couple are planning to spend the holidays together, it looks like their romance is continuing to get serious.
