Breaking News Alert: The View co-hosts are buzzing about the romance between global superstar Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce. In a spirited discussion aired on November 16, the panel of Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Sunny Hostin weighed in on the couple’s relationship. The conversation got heated as the ladies debated whether Travis, with his past social media missteps, is worthy of Taylor.
Why Joy Behar Is Not a Fan of Travis Kelce
Let’s dive into the heart of the matter. Joy Behar, the sharp-witted comedian, isn’t exactly thrilled about Taylor’s beau. Now, here’s the kicker—Joy, who’s been around the block a time or two at 81 years young, voiced her concerns about Travis, who’s 34. She’s not just skeptical; she’s downright critical. “He’s illiterate is more to the point,” Joy quipped, pointing out what she perceives as Travis’s shallow outlook on women. “He’s obsessed with the girls looking good, that was his thing,” she added, reading some of Travis’s cringe-worthy tweets from yesteryears.
For instance, Joy highlighted one tweet where Travis wrote, “why can’t girls hide they backfat,” and another where he said, “I feel like if you want to be a cheerleader, you have to pass a beauty test. There’s too many ugly cheerleaders out here.” Talk about some harsh words!

But Hold Up—Does the Past Define the Present?
While Joy was laying it on thick, her fellow co-hosts jumped in to remind everyone that people can, and often do, change. “Young people do young people stuff,” Whoopi, the ever-wise 68-year-old, interjected. “What you said 25 years ago, may not be the way that you feel this time. So everybody needs to lighten up and let these people do what they want to do.” Whoopi’s point is clear: Travis was just a kid back then, and who among us hasn’t said something we’d later regret?
Adding to the conversation, Alyssa Farah Griffin, 34, chimed in, “Travis is part of the first generation that grew up with social media our entire teen and adult life.” She argued that Travis, like many of us, was navigating the uncharted waters of social media at a young age. “You think of songs that you liked at the time, and you’re like, ‘Wait, this might be totally problematic, and I didn’t even know at the time,’” Alyssa continued. “You gotta give people a little bit of grace and hope that the way he treats women now is reflective of how he is as an adult.”
Sunny Hostin’s Take: The Brain Develops Over Time
Not to be left out, Sunny Hostin, 55, added her two cents. “I really think that these kids — their frontal lobe, at that age, they’re not developed — and they’re writing all kinds of stuff,” she explained. Sunny’s point is that young people, with their developing brains, often act impulsively without fully understanding the consequences of their words.
Despite Joy’s strong stance, it’s important to note that she’s not bashing Taylor. In fact, she’s a proud Swiftie. “I’m a Swiftie,” Joy insisted. “I love her because she’s getting young people out to vote, so I don’t want her to be stuck with this idiot.” Clearly, Joy has Taylor’s best interests at heart.
Meanwhile, Swifties around the globe are eating up every moment of Taylor and Travis’s romance. At her November 11 Eras tour concert in Argentina, Taylor couldn’t help but gush about her NFL sweetheart. She changed the lyrics of “Karma” to sing, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.” It’s clear that Taylor’s heart is all in for Travis, despite Joy’s reservations.
