Skip Bayless calls Taylor Swift 'stagey and fake'
'Undisputed' host Skip Bayless has courted controversy after calling Taylor swift "stagey and fake" amid her ongoing romance with the Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. Talking about Taylor Swift's relationship, he said, "I sincerely hope her relationship with Travis Kelce is real, for both their sakes, but especially for his," before adding, "I believe from a distance that his feelings for her are very real. But hers for him? I have no idea. How can you know? How can even he be sure?"
Bayless added, "She is such a megastar, obviously she is extremely image conscious. She’s just painfully camera aware — and so she’s always in danger in her life of acting a part when she knows she’s on camera," before continuing, "Travis on his bye week flew down. She obviously knew she was on camera. You see her running toward Travis, all but jumping in his arms, embracing him, giving a big, exaggerated kiss."
He also said, "It just seemed a little scripted to me. Just a little put-on. Just a little fake. I could be wrong. But is she using this all-time fairytale romance to plug into NFL-sized publicity and promotion? I hope not, but I do wonder."
