Why Reba Is ‘Devastated’ Over Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Romance
Reba McEntire, Taylor Swift
Reba McEntire admitted that when she first found out about Taylor Swift‘s presumed romance with Travis Kelce, she wasn’t too happy about it.
The 68-year-old revealed her true feelings while speaking with TODAY.com in an article published on Wednesday, Oct. 11, saying it felt like her “boyfriend cheated on” her.
“Oh, my gosh, I am so mad at her because I had a crush on him,” McEntire shared while promoting her new book, Not That Fancy: Simple Lessons on Living, Loving, Eating, and Dusting Off Your Boots. “Now I can’t have a crush anymore because he’s dating her.”
“I was so devastated,” she said before going on to describe Kelce as her “boyfriend that cheated on” her.
Her actual boyfriend–Rex Linn–was well aware of how she felt about the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end long before she spoke to the press about it, as she even admitted to making comments about Kelce’s appearance in front of him.
“We were watching him play because I love the Chiefs and I love Patrick [Mahomes], and I’d say, ‘Oh, he’s so cute. Oh, he’s so cute.’”
But Linn isn’t intimidated by McEntire’s little crush, “Isn’t that sad?” she joked.
In fact, Linn has gone so far as to tease the “I’m a Survivor” songstress now that Kelce and the 33-year-old Grammy winner appear to be dating.
“When he and Taylor started dating, Rex said, ‘Your boyfriend’s got another girlfriend.’ I said, ‘Rub it in.’”
The mocking appears to be all out of love, as the two have been nearly inseparable over the past three years, regularly sharing their admiration for one another in sweet, sappy posts online.
While speaking with Parade for her cover story interview earlier this month, McEntire dished on her relationship with the 66-year-old actor and how it all came to be.
“Rex and I knew each other from 1991 when we did a Kenny Rogers Gambler movie. We stayed in contact,” she said.
“Then, in January 2020, we were on Young Sheldon and went to dinner with [co-star] Melissa Peterman,” she recalled. “When my tour manager dropped me off in front of that restaurant, I couldn’t get into it quick enough to see Rex.”
