Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins blamed his troubled relationship with ex-teammate Travis Kelce on the tight end’s high-profile romance with pop icon Taylor Swift on January 12.
Hill opened up to reporters about his emotions, saying:
“I texted Kelce, but he has yet to respond.” He’s probably still obsessed with Taylor Swift. But, man, absolutely. Those individuals are maybe too famous for me now.”
Travis Kelce’s celebrity skyrocketed after he made his connection with Taylor Swift public.
From 2016 to 2021, Hill and Kelce were teammates with the Kansas City Chiefs. Tyreek Hill ended up in Miami after a blockbuster trade on March 23, 2022, in exchange for a 2022 first-round pick, a 2022 second-round pick, two fourth-round picks, and a 2023 sixth-round pick. Hill inked a hefty four-year, $120 million extension following the trade, making him the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL with $72.2 million guaranteed.
Hill and Kelce will square off in the 2023-24 NFL Playoffs Wild Card round against the Miami Dolphins (11-6) and the Kansas City Chiefs (11-6). Saturday, January 13, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET, at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
