The country singer shaded Taylor Swift’s boyfriend — and their romance — on Sunday’s episode of her “Whine Down” podcast. “To me, he’s always drunk,” the “One Tree Hill” alum, 40, told listeners. “Every time I’ve ever seen a video he’s just always drunk.”
Jana Kramer thinks Travis Kelce is trouble. The country singer shaded Taylor Swift’s boyfriend — and their romance — on Sunday’s episode of her “Whine Down” podcast. “To me, he’s always drunk,” the “One Tree Hill” alum, 40, told listeners. “Every time I’ve ever seen a video he’s just always drunk.”
Kramer added that she “hope[s]” Swift doesn’t follow in the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs player’s footsteps. “I see her drinking more now. Like, the company you keep,” she alleged, also noting that Kelce’s “aggression” yelling at coach Andy Reid during the February Super Bowl “rubbed [her] the wrong way.”
In fact, Kramer said the NFL player “remind[s her] of an ex” despite her initially thinking they were the “cutest” couple. While she didn’t name the former partner she was referring to, Kramer was previously married to Washington Redskins player Mike Caussin from 2015 to 2021. Podcast guest Josie Van Dyke shouted Caussin’s name before replying, “I know exactly who you’re talking about.”
Kramer – who “fell asleep” listening to Swift’s latest “Tortured Poets Department” album – went on to call Kelce “corny” and “cheesy” for “loving the attention” he’s received since coupling up with Swift, also 34, last summer. “I’ve just kind of heard things that I don’t love,” she said cryptically. “But again, I just want everyone to be happy is what I’ll default to.” Kelce was vocal about his love of Swift before they began seeing each other, publicly pursuing her in a “New Heights” podcast episode in July 2023.
When Swift spoke about their romance for the first time in December 2023, she praised Kelce for not being bothered by paparazzi. “I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she told Time magazine. “We’re just proud of each other.” Two months prior, Kelce said he was “learning” to live with the attention. The “Catching Kelce” alum explained, “It comes with it. You got a lot of people that care about Taylor for good reason. You just got to keep living and learning and enjoying the moments.”
Notably, Swift kept a low profile while dating Joe Alwyn from 2016 to 2023 — after admitting in a 2012 interview that “hiding” relationships made her feel “like a fugitive.” The songwriter hoped for a “normal” romance at the time, which would allow her to “just … live [her] life
