The View host calls Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce dating rumors a ‘PR stunt’

Dismissing the Rumored Romance as a Publicity Stunt
Haines firmly believes that the rumored relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce is nothing more than a PR stunt. She expressed her lack of interest in discussing the topic, stating that Swift does not need any more attention or expensive concert tickets. Haines believes that giving airtime to such a publicity stunt is unnecessary. However, her co-host Brian Teta argued that Haines’ opinion would have made for an interesting discussion on television.
Concerns about Backlash from Swift’s Fanbase
Haines also revealed that her decision not to discuss the Swift and Kelce frenzy was partly due to the potential backlash from Swift’s devoted fanbase, known as the Swifties. She compared them to Beyoncé’s fanbase, the Beyhive, stating that they come after anyone who even alludes to them. Haines emphasized that her choice was not because she is a bad person, but rather to avoid putting negative energy out there. Despite Haines’ reservations, the show’s co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin was excited to dive into the rumors.
