Taylor Swift’s loyal army of supporters may be fans of Travis Kelce, but they certainly had something to say about his obnoxious phone ringtone.
The Chiefs tight end, who reported to training camp earlier this week, answers his phone to the tune of a shrill screaming noise, it was revealed.
The Kansas City star first unveiled the tone in 2015 during an interview with the NFL Network, and he hasn’t updated it in nearly a decade.
His New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his older brother Jason, posted the throwback on Tuesday amid the pair’s recording hiatus.
‘Trav had the greatest ringtone of all time in 2015,’ the clip was captioned.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes quickly chimed in, ‘That man still has that ringtone lol,’ to which the New Heights account replied, ‘Some things never change.’
Many of Swift’s fans also responded to the post, outraged at Kelce’s brazen tone.
‘poor tay that phone better be on silent mode,’ one person wrote.
Another added, ‘Taylor has to listen to that anytime that man gets a call poor woman works so hard to go home and get disturbed by that sound lmaoooo.’
A third joked, ‘Taylor is better than me, I would’ve changed that ringtone the second he fell asleep.’
