Travis Kelce would choose to marry Katy Perry over girlfriend Taylor Swift, reemerged footage shows.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has been dating pop superstar Swift since last summer with the couple taking their relationship to new heights by jetting around the world to support each other at his Super Bowl and her Eras Tour concert.
However, while their relationship goes from strength to strength, the Super Bowl winner appeared to favor another pop princess over his 14-time Grammy Award-winning girlfriend back in 2016.
An old interview the NFL star did with AfterBuzz TV back in 2016 resurfaced on Friday after both Travis and Katy attended Taylor’s show in Sydney.
The football player is playing the classic game of ‘Kiss, Marry, Kill’ and is faced with the tough choice between Taylor, Katy and Ariana Grande.

He reluctantly choses to kill Ariana, while insisting he does actually think she’s great, narrowing down the kiss or marry options to Taylor and Katy. He ultimately opts for a mere peck with his now-girlfriend and plumps to marry the California Girls singer.
The tight end is obviously now very loved up with Taylor and actually crossed paths with Katy in the VIP tent at the Eras Tour, but his choice is somewhat ironic given the bad blood between the two songstresses back in 2016.
It’s no secret that Katy and Taylor had a rather nasty falling out, with the latter even penning her 2015 song Bad Blood about their dispute – which began when Katy apparently tried to hire a bunch of Taylor’s backup dancers and ‘sabotage an entire arena tour.’
However, the two former frenemies appear to have put their feud behind them as Katy was seen dancing along to the 1989 hit Friday.
Katy is now a fan of the song as she filmed video of Taylor performing the track and at one point, turned the camera on herself as she sang some of the lyrics which include: ‘Now we got problems, and I don’t think we can solve ’em, you made a really deep cut and baby now we’ve got bad blood.’
Katy, who wore her long dark hair down straight and completed her look with plenty of silver jewelry, watched Taylor’s performance from a VIP tent alongside Rita Ora, and her filmmaker husband, Taika Waititi.
Following the show, Katy shared several snaps and videos on Instagram – including a super sweet close-up shot of them backstage together.
The two pop stars looked as glamorous as ever as Taylor, 34, pressed her cheek up against Katy’s face and grinned from ear-to-ear ahead of her show-stopping performance, which saw her show off her svelte figure in a stunning sequin bodysuit.

Mother-of-one Katy, who looked chic in a pair of wide-legged pinstripe trousers and a matching cropped waistcoat, captioned the social media post, ‘Got to see an old friend shine tonight,’ and reassured fans that her friendship with the Shake It Off hitmaker is firmly back on track.
Travis was also seen in one of the snaps, dressed in a blue spotty T-shirt and matching shorts, and flashed a huge grin as he towered above Rita, while an animated Katy could be seen in the background.
The pair first fell out with one another a decade ago, and TMZ reported that the feud between the performers ignited when three of Taylor’s dancers quit to join Katy’s Prismatic World Tour.
Taylor released the single Bad Blood and added fuel to the fire, in a now infamous interview with Rolling Stone, when she admitted that the track was about a female musician – and ‘straight-up enemy.’

She told the publication: ‘For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not.
‘She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, “Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?”

‘Then last year, the other star crossed a line. She did something so horrible, I was like, “Oh, we’re just straight-up enemies.” And it wasn’t even about a guy!
‘It had to do with business. She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me.’
After Taylor’s interview was published, Katy tweeted an alleged slant in Taylor’s direction and wrote: ‘Watch out for the Regina George in sheep’s clothing,’ referring to Rachel McAdams’ bitchy character in Mean Girls.
Then in May 2017, Katy seemingly retaliated to Taylor’s Bad Blood track with her own single Swish Swish, which was also reportedly about their feud.
