Harrison Butker shared hopes for Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce to ‘start a family’ months before controversial ‘homemaker’ comments
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker shared his hopes for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s future together before making his controversial “homemaker” comments.

“I hope they get married and start a family,” he told EWTN’s “News in Depth” in a resurfaced March interview.
The 28-year-old then gushed over meeting the “humble” and “gracious” hitmaker at a New Year’s Eve party following his team’s victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

He recalled briefly chatting with Swift, 34, about football when she told him she was impressed that he could “kick the ball so far to the uprights.”
“I was nervous to meet Taylor Swift, it’s Taylor Swift,” he admitted. “But it was a great experience and I can’t say enough great things about her.”

While Butker isn’t a Swiftie, he said her 2022 song “Bejeweled” is his favorite because he’s a fan of the lyric “familiarity breeds contempt.”
Coincidentally, the NFL star cited that same line during his speech at Benedictine College’s graduation ceremony on May 11.
During the commencement speech, Butker spoke out against abortion, women in the workforce, dangerous gender ideologies and Pride Month.

“It is safe to say that over the years, I have gained quite the reputation for speaking my mind,” the three-time Super Bowl winner said at the beginning of his tirade.

“Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values and media all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder,” the athlete continued, adding that Pride Month is a part of “the deadly sins.”
He then sent a message to the female graduates, telling them their “most important title” should be “homemaker.”
