“Publicity Stunt”: Nick Wright calls out Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce relationship conspiracy theories after engagement news

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement three days ago on Instagram, and the news quickly became the biggest story in pop culture.

On Wednesday, August 28, 2025, sports analyst Nick Wright spoke about these conspiracy theories on The Dan Patrick Show and strongly called out the people who doubted the couple from the start.

Nick Wright defends Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce on The Dan Patrick Show

Nick Wright, the host of First Things First on FS1, appeared on The Dan Patrick Show on Wednesday in New York. During the show, Wright was asked about the engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, which was announced on Sunday, August 25, 2025.

He directly addressed the conspiracy theories that have followed the couple since they started dating in September 2023.

Nick Wright made it clear that he wished people who spread these false ideas would take responsibility.“You know, it’s moments like that where I just wish we held people accountable,” Nick Wright said. “And I’m not going to name names here, and I know you’re going to ask me to, but I won’t do it. I would just like for the people who two years ago were very adamant that the relationship was a work, was publicity stunt, all of those things.”He then asked if those people would now admit they were wrong.“Is there a moment of public shame? Is there a moment of apology? Is there a moment of, ‘you know what, I shouldn’t have doubted what is America’s greatest love story for my own Twitter gain.’

I don’t know. Like they seem to be really into each other, and it seems to be a healthy, delightful relationship, and now they’re getting married.”Also Read: Travis Kelce And Taylor Swift Make First Appearance After Engagement At Cincinnati Vs Nebraska Football Game
