Grayson Waller shared the full story behind his comments about Taylor Swift and his eventual real-life encounter with her and Travis Kelce. Speaking on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Waller explained how a joke on a WWE show blew up.
“That was a beautiful thing… I just made a joke on The Bump that if Travis Kelce is happy settling for a six, good for him, which is funny. That’s a great line. I was pretty happy with that, but I didn’t even think about it until all of a sudden, I have these cringe mums on TikTok who don’t spend time with their kids doing videos on me about how ugly I am. And they were saying some wild stuff, like Swifty fans are mean. There was one lady who was talking about how I had no lips. Never in my life have I thought about not having lips… They got my head a little bit. But I doubled down on it too, because I think people get stressed about when you annoy the fan base, especially the Swifties. But I doubled down on it because it was so fun. They were so angry and so upset.”
Meeting At ‘Tight End University’
Waller revealed that the story has a “part two.” He was invited by George Kittle to a party at “Tight End University” in Nashville, which both Swift and Kelce attended.
“So I’m a bit like, man, I’m gonna have to fight Travis Kelce. And I’ve said multiple times, I’ll fight Travis Kelce. And then I see how big tight ends are and how big he was, I’m gonna win, but it’s gonna be scrap.”
“So they’re all coming up and talking to him, and then Kelce comes up. Here we go. And he was super nice, Cena-esque. I’ll give him Cena-esque in the sense. He didn’t have to come over and chat to us. Super chill. Chatted to us for a bit. I was like, ‘Hey, man, Jason’s done some stuff. When are we getting you coming in?’ He’s like football first type of thing. So he was really cool.”
The ‘Reconciliation’
Waller then detailed his brief, yet positive, interaction with Taylor Swift. “Didn’t get to meet Taylor officially. She did walk past me at some stage, and I had to move and go, oh, sorry. And she said, Thank you. So I think that’s the reconciliation… I was like, any, any girl who’s that famous, who just sits drinking with the boys and then goes down and does a song on the fly, that’s good.”
