Melissa Etheridge told Fox News Digital anyone who’s bashing the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relationship ‘might need to look’ at themselves.
Melissa Etheridge wants only the best for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
"You gotta love love, you gotta love happiness, and if you have any trouble with that, you might need to look at yourself. I love seeing people that are happy. Way to go," Etheridge told Fox News Digital at the MusiCares Person of the Year Gala on Friday.

Etheridge has regularly shared her love for the Chiefs on social media. Last week, ahead of their AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens, she shared a video of herself wearing head to toe Chiefs gear and admiring the team's flag outside.
"I have informed my family I am emotionally unavailable for the next 7 hours," she wrote before the start of the game, which the Chiefs won, securing their spot in Super Bowl LVIII.
The team will face off against the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, with Swift expected to attend after a grueling, time zone-hopping international flight from Japan.
