'Love Is Blind' star responds to Travis Kelce's ruthless mocking, pleads with Taylor Swift not to watch
Chelsea Blackwell called news of Kelce’s comments 'mortifying'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce apparently enjoys a fair share of reality television, or as he puts it, "trash."
During a recent episode of the "New Heights" podcast, Kelce encouraged his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, to watch the latest season of the Netflix show "Love Is Blind."

"Jason, you’ve gotta watch ‘Love Is Blind,’ man. It is the worst trash ever. It’s worse than ‘Catching Kelce,’ but it is so f---ing good," Travis said, taking a dig at his own reality dating show.

"Honestly, I just want you to watch the one girl and to just hear her," he added of one contestant, Chelsea Blackwell, who has gone viral on social media for her contentious relationship with ex-fiancé Jimmy Presnell.
Travis pleaded with his brother to watch the show, but Jason was defiant.

TRAVIS KELCE CHANNELS GIRLFRIEND TAYLOR SWIFT TO EXPLAIN STEELERS-KENNY PICKETT BREAKUP
In a last ditch attempt to get Jason on the "Love Is Blind" bandwagon, Travis did his best impersonation of Blackwell, imitating an infamous scene from one of her biggest arguments with Presnell.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"Do you think I’m clingy? I’m clingy, really?," he mimicked.
Blackwell responded to comments on social media on Wednesday, expressing her shock that Travis — and possibly his international pop sensation girlfriend, Taylor Swift — had watched the show.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I just got the most mortifying news," she said in a video. "I really feel like I need to crawl under a rock at this point because Travis Kelce did an impersonation of me and the only outlet that this man knows my name — or not even knows my name, knows me — is from whining like a baby back b----."

After letting out a deep sigh, Blackwell pleaded with Swift not to tune into her season — if she has not already.
"Taylor Swift, if you’re watching it with him — please stop," she urged.
