Atlanta Falcons player Kirk Cousins roasted Travis Kelce for having a very hairy back.

The quarterback applauded Taylor Swift while poking fun at Kelce in an interview with E! News at the grand opening of Universal Epic Universe in Orlando, Fla., Wednesday.

“God bless Taylor Swift for being good with that,” Cousins said, referring to new photos of Kelce shirtless.

He added, “That’s awesome. Good for her.”

Cousins, 36, suspected that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s wooly backside was “just genetics.”

“Thankfully, I don’t have to deal with that,” he joked. “But I’m in a locker room a lot. That’s just a part of life. It is what it is.”

Cousins took shots at Kelce’s abundant body hair after the “New Heights” podcast co-host was spotted going shirtless while out in Miami Tuesday.

Kelce had just finished a fitness session with friends when he ditched his sweaty tee.

The NFL star, 35, has discussed his hairy situation in the past — with his brother Jason Kelce sharing earlier this year that he previously earned him the nickname “Big Yeti.”

“When Trav was at Cincinnati, he would play basketball in the playground quite a bit,” the retired Philadelphia Eagles player said on their podcast in February 2024 of Travis’ time at the University of Cincinnati.

“And anyone who has ever played pickup basketball, you know there’s shirts and skins.”

Travis explained that he had a “big beard,” “long hair” and “the chest hair, back hair, arm hair, leg hair.”

“It’s just a big ole Yeti out there, man,” Travis said. “All the homies on the court were calling me ‘Big Yeti.’”

More recently, Travis called himself a “furry son of the b—h” on Wednesday’s episode of his and Jason’s Wondery+ show while explaining why he was wearing two shirts at once.

“Me and heat just don’t do well together, ” Travis quipped of his layered fashion choice.
