In the realm of celebrity fandom, enthusiasm can sometimes take a dark turn, as exemplified by Taylor Swift’s fervent followers, known as the “Swifties.” Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Maya Benberry recently came forward with allegations of receiving death threats from Swift’s fervent fan base after sharing details about her past relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
Maya Benberry gained public attention by winning the reality show Catching Kelce in 2016, where he competed for the All-Pro tight end’s affections. However, his recent comments about Kelce’s alleged infidelity during their relationship, particularly after Taylor Swift’s appearance at a Chiefs game, apparently sparked a hostile reaction from Swifties.
Describing Swifties as “aggressive” and “very negative,” Benberry expressed shock at the disparity between Taylor Swift’s positive image and the negativity exhibited by some of her fans. She highlighted the intensity of the hate she received, calling it “crazy.”
While addressing Swift directly, Benberry clarified that her problem was not with the singer but with Kelce, whom she referred to as a “narcissist.” She claimed that she harbors no hard feelings if Swift ends up dating her ex, stating, “I had him first.” Benberry vehemently denied the attention-seeking accusations, insisting that her motivation was based on her belief that Kelce misled her about her future.
“It’s not about Taylor. It’s more that you made me believe we had a future. And now, five years later, you laugh and I feel like you’re making fun of me,” Benberry explained.
Addressing claims that she is chasing fame, she emphasized that her concerns centered on Kelce’s actions and were not driven by jealousy or bitterness toward Swift. Despite the dramatic revelations and negative attention, Benberry maintained her stance that her intention was not to disparage Taylor Swift.
The drama unfolding between Travis Kelce, Maya Benberry and the Swifties doesn’t seem to faze Taylor Swift herself. Reports suggest that Swift plans to attend Kelce’s next game against the Jets, seemingly unfazed by the controversy surrounding her involvement in the narrative.
As the clash between celebrity relationships, fan passion and social media intensifies, it remains to be seen how the parties involved will navigate this spotlight and whether this will have any repercussions for the aggressive online behavior of Swifties.
