DAVE SCORES TD WITH TAY-TRAV ENDORSEMENT

MAGA nuts and conspiracy theorists have taken to social media to express their outrage over the romance of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, and David Letterman has had enough of this unhinged ridiculousness. Before the kickoff of Sunday’s AFC Championship game (1/28) between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens, Dave posted a rebuke on Instagram.

In the video post, he said, in part, “I don’t think in the history of show business or the history of popular culture we’ve ever witnessed anything like this. Tremendous! She fills stadiums around the world and puts on a three-hour show. We live in a world now where all we hear is nonsense and ugliness. The nonsense can’t be more nonsensical and the ugliness, God hopes it can’t get any uglier. But that’s all we hear. And now here’s Taylor Swift, who is a glowing bright light of goodness in the world, and she starts dating Kelsey Grammer.”

He's corrected by a laughing associate off-camera but alternates between Kelce/Kelsey as he continues riffing.

“The Kelsey Grammer people say, ‘Oh, no, no, no, don’t bother us. We’re all caught up in football. We don’t want Taylor and football.’ And the Taylor Swift people, the Swifties, are saying, ‘Oh, we don’t want a footballer in here with Kelsey Grammer—Travis Kelce.’ And I say to both camps, ‘This is such a lovely thing. Shut up! It’s good for the footballers. It’s good for Taylor Swift, and it’s something positive and happy for the world. And also, politically, Taylor Swift is a huge force, and I think just wants to see people do the right thing. So God bless Taylor Swift and Kelsey Grammer.'"

Chiefs coach Andy Reid seconded that emotion postgame, saying, “Listen, she's a good girl and I'm happy for Trav, and there has been no distraction that way at all. Trav's handled it right, she's handled it right and we just move forward, so it hasn't been a problem at all.”

It's hard to follow Letterman.
