Don’t expect Reba McEntire to be tweeting out her support of Traylor — or Tayvis. According to the iconic country singer, she was “devastated” when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce sparked up their romance.

While chatting with Today to promote her new book Not That Fancy: Simple Lessons on Living, Loving, Eating, and Dusting Off Your Boots, McEntire dished on why she doesn’t ship the new couple.

“Oh, my gosh, I am so mad at her because I had a crush on him,” she playfully admitted. “Now I can’t have a crush anymore because he’s dating her.”

The Voice coach joked that she was “so devastated,” before calling Kelce the “boyfriend that cheated on” her.

As for when her love for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end began, she recalled watching a game with her real-life boyfriend Rex Linn, who can be recognized for his role on Better Call Saul.

“We were watching him play because I love the Chiefs and I love Patrick [Mahomes], and I’d say, ‘Oh, he’s so cute. Oh, he’s so cute,'” she remembered, before later adding, “When he and Taylor started dating, Rex said, ‘Your boyfriend’s got another girlfriend.’ I said, ‘Rub it in.'”

While we’re unsure when Kelce and Swift’s love story started, the athlete revealed on his New Heights podcast that he had tried to capture her attention with a friendship bracelet that had his phone number on it at her Eras Tour over the summer.

However, it wasn’t until last month that the Grammy Award-winning artist appeared in Kansas City for the Chiefs’ matchup against the Chicago Bears, sparking a social media frenzy. The following week, she made an appearance alongside A-list pals like Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively at Kelce’s game against the New York Jets. And on Thursday night (Oct. 12), she was back at Arrowhead Stadium to support her rumored beau from the box seats as he played the Denver Broncos.

As things continue heating up for Kelce and Swift, at least McEntire still has Linn, whom she has known since 1991 when they met on The Gambler. On a recent episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, she explained that they reconnected nearly three decades later to shoot Young Sheldon and have been “inseparable” ever since.
