To quote Taylor Swift, we hope Bill Maher is ready for this.
And for thiswe mean the extreme wrath of the most dedicated fanbase on the planet.
In the most recent episode of his podcast, see, the HBO host and supposed comedian was speaking to the Hawk Tuah Girl (real name: Haliey Welch).
Because of course he was, right?
For some reason, the conversation eventually turned to Swift’s relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
“I’m sure she’s a lovely person, but this whole thing with the football player,” Maher said, immediately sounding like an idiot, as if he didn’t know Kelce’s name.
Maher continued:
“I just felt like 35 was a little old to be like, ‘My boyfriend is a football player and I wear his jersey to the game with his number on it!’ I mean, come on.”
How dare Swift be supportive and have fun, you know?
Welch happily defended Swift from Maher’s idiotic and random attack, saying simply:
“Whatever makes her happy. If that’s what she wants to do and it makes her happy, it has nothing to do with me.”
Maher largely agreed with this obvious point.
But he wasn’t done criticizing Swift and looking like a complete idiot.
“He’s going to break up with her, you know?” Maher continued. “With her, it’s like Gatorade at the Super Bowl, you know it’s going to be broken up with. You just don’t know when.”
Wow. What a hilarious joke.
By most accounts, of course, Kelce and Swift are much closer to getting married than to separate.
“You have to think of it that way,” Welch said, playing along with Maher’s premise. “If he does that, can you imagine the next album we’re going to get out of it?”
Maher went on to say that Swift continuing to sing about her ex-lovers was “pretty corny” and said that maybe it was time for Swift to look in the mirror.
“It seems like such a recurring theme,” he argued. “At some point, you just want to say, maybe you should write a song called ‘Maybe It’s Me.’”
Yes, Taylor Swift is so cheesy that she has the love of a strong, good man; the affection of millions of people around the world; and the highest-grossing tour in music history.
Will she soon add a diamond ring to this collection?
“It’s not even on his radar,” a source recently told Us Weekly of Kelce’s request.
“Marriage is something he takes very seriously and not something he would do lightly.”
