Not Taylor Swift, her former rival was once Travis Kelce’s choice when asked whom he’d marry. Watch

Pop sensation Taylor Swift and American football player Travis Kelce have been the talk of the town ever since rumours started flying around that they were dating.

Once the two made their relationship public by showing up for each other at special moments, such as concerts and football games, it seems fans can’t get enough of the ‘Swelce’ (a portmanteau for Swift and Kelce).

But did you know that Kelce once chose Swift’s former rival Katy Perry over her as his choice for a potential partner? Yep, he actually did. In a resurfaced 2016 interview clip from Afterbuzz TV, Kelce can be seen playing the risky game of ‘Kill, Marry, Kiss’.

When the interviewer asked Kelce to choose between Swift, Perry and Ariana Grande, the footballer was instantaneously flabbergasted. ‘Damn, that’s messed up. I don’t want to kill any of them,’ he said awkwardly.

Nevertheless, Kelce chose to play the game and started off by saying he would ‘kill’ Grande. ‘Ariana is the kill, unfortunately. Love you, but you’re gone,’ he said with folded hands. What left fans shocked was his subsequent answers as he said, ‘Taylor Swift would be the kiss and then Katy Perry would be the marry.’

Though Swift and Perry were embroiled in a public feud that lasted years in the 2010s, the two American singers reconciled towards the end of the last decade and have been great friends since then. Perry attended Swift’s The Eras Tour concert in Sydney recently and even shared a photo with the ‘Midnights’ creator on her Instagram. However, it should be mentioned that at the time Kelce’s interview was recorded, the two singers were not on good terms.
