Taylor Swift Insult? Travis Kelce Botches Pronunciation of ‘Cornelia Street,’ Swifties Dumbfounded

Although he and his brother Jason Kelce are still new to being a true-blue Swiftie, Taylor Swift's fan base does hold their idol's BF to a higher expectation. At leasat pronounce your lover's song titles correctly, right?

Travis Kelce Cannot Pronounce 'Cornelia Street'

Travis Kelce is now dating Taylor Swift but on the Wednesday, March 6 edition of his "New Heights" podcast with Jason Kelce, the brothers were at a loss for words when it came to pronouncing the username of a Swift fan account that had the song title "Cornelia Street."

Travis, 34, answered a question from @corneliastgirly during the episode's "No Dumb Questions" segment, mispronouncing it as "Cornelia-las-girly."

"Am I putting it correctly?" Travis asked, then tried the username once more. He said, "Cornell-li-est-girlie?"

The 36-year-old Jason gave his own pronunciation tips, such as "Cornelius-T-girly" and "Cornelius-girlie."

The fan's nickname is an allusion to "Cornelia Street" from Taylor Swift's seventh studio album, "Lover," as both Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Swifties have noted.

Is It Because of Joe Alwyn?

Maybe this is deliberate? An jab to the fact that the song is about Joe Alwyn?

The song is rumored to be about the singer's ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, like several other tracks on the 2019 album.

Rumor had it that Swift and her ex-partner had spent time together in her old West Village residence on the street named after the song in New York City during their six-year romance, which came to an end in 2023.

In 2017, Swift left the townhouse.

Aside from the mishap with the song title, Travis talked candidly on Monday's podcast about his experience flying to Australia to see the first of Swift's four Eras Tour concerts in Sydney, referring to her as "the biggest and best thing possible."

Swift also altered the lyrics of her farewell song, "Karma," from "guy on the screen" to "guy on the Chiefs," mimicking a gesture she made during an Eras Tour performance in Argentina in November 2023.

After the show, she and Kelce were subsequently spotted kissing and cuddling backstage.

Meanwhile, André Eanes, Swift's manager, appears to have verified that Travis would accompany Swift to her final "Era's Tour" stops in Singapore. Fans should gear up for an amazing reunion.
