The budding Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relationship has excited many people across the country, but Chris “Mad Dog” Russo is not one of them.
The SiriusXM host returned to ESPN on Wednesday for his weekly appearance on “First Take,” and with a video of Swift taking in Sunday’s Chiefs game with Kelce’s mom, Donna, playing in the background, Russo lost it as only he can.
“Oh my God! Look at them! That mother didn’t want her in there! She wants to enjoy her son!” Russo screamed.
“And who takes their girlfriend two minutes into a relationship to visit mommy and daddy? Nobody does that! Then we have to show them walking out. And that, all of a sudden she’s a big Kansas City Chiefs fan? She’s never heard of Lenny Dawson! Oh my God!”
This wasn’t the first time Russo, 63, unloaded on Swift and Kelce, both 33.
Monday on “Mad Dog Unleashed,” Russo wasn’t taking the bait.
“I’m not into Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, so try somebody else for that,” Russo said on “Mad Dog Sports Radio.”
“I don’t care if Taylor Swift is nude in the box, I’m not that interested, I’m sorry, I could care less.”
Kelce put on a show with Swift in attendance, pulling down seven receptions for 69 yards and one touchdown in the Chiefs’ 41-10 beatdown of the Chicago Bears.
After the game, Kelce and Swift were seen leaving together and made their way to a Kansas City restaurant for a private dinner with family and friends.
Kelce addressed his relationship with Swift Wednesday on his “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.
“Shoutout to Taylor for pulling up,” Kelce said. “That was pretty ballsy. I just thought it was awesome that everybody in the suite had nothing but good things to say about her, the friends and family. She looked amazing, everybody was talking about her in great light and on top of that the day went perfect for the Chiefs.”
All eyes will be on MetLife Stadium in Week 4 to see if Swift goes to the Chiefs-Jets game on “Sunday Night Football.”
