Travis Kelce chose Katy Perry over Taylor Swift in resurfaced clip

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have quickly become one of pop culture's most talked-about couples, but a recently resurfaced clip from 2016 has fans laughing at the irony of the NFL star's past choices. Back then, Kelce played a round of "Kiss, Marry, Kill" and opted to "marry" Katy Perry over Taylor Swift-a lighthearted decision that now feels like a blast from the past as he and Swift share the spotlight in their blossoming relationship.

The video, taken from a 2016 interview with AfterBuzz TV, sees Kelce making the tough call between three music icons: Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Ariana Grande. In the clip, he reluctantly chooses to "kill" Grande while praising her talent, leaving him to decide between Swift and Perry. Ultimately, he picks Katy Perry as his hypothetical spouse and reserves only a "kiss" for Taylor Swift.

Fast forward to 2024, and the Kansas City Chiefs star is happily dating Swift, whose global Eras Tour recently brought the couple closer as they traveled the world supporting each other.

The ironic Katy-Taylor connection

The resurfaced clip gains even more attention given the history between Swift and Perry, who famously had a long-standing feud throughout the 2010s. The tension reportedly began over backup dancers during Swift's Red tour and escalated with the release of Swift's hit single Bad Blood, widely believed to be about Perry. Perry later responded with her own track, Swish Swish, adding fuel to the fire.

However, time has healed old wounds. The two pop superstars were recently spotted together in the VIP section at Swift'sSydney concert, celebrating their rekindled friendship. Perry even shared a backstage selfie with Swift, captioned, "Got to see an old friend shine tonight," solidifying their reconciliation.

Travis Kelce: a modern love story

Meanwhile, Kelce and Swift's relationship continues to flourish, with fans enjoying their public displays of affection and mutual support. The resurfaced clip serves as a humorous reminder of how much has changed in the years since Kelce played the game.

With Kelce and Swift seemingly stronger than ever and Perry and Swift mending their bond, the viral moment is nothing more than a playful snapshot of a different time in the NFL star's life. Fans, however, can't help but enjoy the irony of it all.
