As Taylor Swift’s whirlwind romance with NFL star Travis Kelce continues to dominate headlines, her long-time adversary Kim Kardashian is reportedly watching with quiet amusement, convinced the relationship is doomed to fail.
Sources close to Kardashian reveal that she privately anticipates a breakup and is waiting for the moment when she can, as one insider puts it, “raise a glass” to the end of Swift’s latest love affair.
In an exclusive report from Life & Style, a source disclosed that Kardashian has been closely following the high-profile romance and is privately enjoying the media frenzy. “Kim would never say anything publicly, but behind the scenes, she’s finding it highly entertaining to predict when this whole thing will come crashing down. She laughs at how humiliating it could be for Taylor when it inevitably ends,” said the source.
The romance between Swift, 34, and Kelce, 35, has sparked intense speculation, with rumors swirling around a supposed “contract” outlining their relationship’s terms. Although Kelce’s representatives have dismissed these claims, the gossip persists, and there’s even chatter about a possible secret engagement. According to sources, Kardashian, 44, is skeptical, viewing the relationship with suspicion. “Even if it’s not a PR stunt, Kim is convinced it’s going to implode before too long,” the insider added.
Kardashian’s views on Swift’s love life appear to stem from her perception of the pop star’s romantic history. With a list of past high-profile relationships, including Joe Alwyn, Harry Styles, Joe Jonas, and Tom Hiddleston, Swift’s relationships have often been short-lived and widely publicized. “Kim thinks the odds aren’t in Taylor’s favor. Between how fast things seem to be moving with Travis and Taylor’s history, she’s convinced it won’t last,” the source shared.
However, Kardashian’s amusement isn’t entirely mean-spirited. According to sources, she’s frustrated with the double standard in public perception surrounding her own dating life. “Kim’s not trying to reignite a feud with Taylor, but it really bothers her that her own relationships are heavily scrutinized while Taylor seems to walk away unscathed,” the insider explained. “If Taylor and Travis do break up, Kim will no doubt toast to that moment.”
The longstanding tension between Kardashian and Swift dates back to Kanye West’s infamous interruption of Swift at the 2009 VMAs, followed by the 2016 release of West’s controversial song “Famous,” in which he rapped about making Swift “famous.” After Swift publicly condemned the lyric, Kardashian released a video that appeared to show Swift approving it, though Swift later claimed the video was manipulated.
Reflecting on the controversy in a 2023 Time interview, Swift expressed her lasting distress over Kardashian’s role in the incident. “It was a completely fabricated setup, involving an illegally recorded call that was later edited to make me look like a liar. It was deeply damaging,” Swift remarked, underscoring the enduring impact of their public feud.
