Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement has set the internet ablaze, but not everyone is celebrating. The NFL star’s ex-girlfriend has issued a sharp warning to the pop icon, casting a shadow over their joyful announcement.
The couple, who began dating in July 2023 during Swift’s iconic Eras tour, confirmed their engagement with a heartfelt post. Swift captioned it playfully: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
The announcement sparked a digital party, with Google searches for Swift or Kelce triggering virtual confetti. For Swifties, it’s a moment of pure euphoria.
Fans worldwide rushed to congratulate the A-list duo, but one voice stood out with a cautionary tone. Maya Benberry, Kelce’s ex, didn’t mince words in an interview with the Daily Mail.
Benberry called Kelce a “cheating narcissist” who’s unlikely to change. Her pointed advice to Swift? “Once a cheater, always a cheater.”
Despite her harsh words, Benberry softened her tone slightly, praising Swift’s “beautiful spirit” and wishing her luck. Still, she urged the singer to “be smart” in her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs star.
Benberry isn’t the only ex speaking out. Kayla Nicole, who dated Kelce for five years until their 2022 split, shared her own reflections on their past engagement.
In an Instagram Q&A, Nicole took a gentler approach, noting that some people are only meant to be in your life for a season. She admitted that losing a bond can be “heartbreaking.”
Nicole later told People magazine she’s focused on protecting herself amid the public frenzy surrounding Kelce’s new chapter. “The love is still there,” she added, hinting at lingering respect.
Meanwhile, fans are fixated on Swift’s engagement ring, rumored to be-worth up to $1 million. Comments like “That ring could buy my entire life” and “What a rock!” flooded social media.
As Swift and Kelce bask in their engagement glow, the warnings from Kelce’s past add a layer of intrigue to their love story, leaving fans wondering what’s next for the power couple.
