‘Love Is Blind’ Star Asks Taylor Swift Not to Watch the Show After Getting Roasted by Travis Kelce
Written by djfrosty on March 20, 2024
As Taylor Swift may put it, Chelsea Blackwell has a “big reputation” after appearing on the sixth season of Netflix’s Love Is Blind — so big, in fact, even Travis Kelce was inspired to do an impression of her on a recent episode of New Heights. Luckily, the reality star is taking it in stride, although she does now have a message for the “Anti-Hero” singer.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed his passion for the series on Wednesday (March 20), telling his older brother and co-host, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, “You gotta watch Love Is Blind, man. It is the worst trash ever — it’s worse than Catching Kelce — but it’s so f—ing good,” he added, referencing his own 2016 E! dating show, on which 50 women competed for his heart.
“Honestly, I just want you to watch the one girl and to just hear her,” Travis continued over Jason’s objections, before mimicking something Blackwell told then-fiancé Jimmy Presnell during an argument on the show: “You think I’m clingy? I’m clingy? Really?”

For those out of the loop, Love Is Blind finds a group of men and women dating each other from opposite sides of a wall, unable to see their partners until they get engaged. Blackwell and Presnell emerged from the blind pods with plans to get married; however, Presnell broke things off before they got to the altar.
Travis isn’t the first person to poke fun at Blackwell since season 6 kicked off earlier this year: She went viral early in the season for telling Presnell that people tell her she looks like Megan Fox, stirring up a debate about whether she actually resembles the actress. But the flight attendant has been able to laugh at herself in spite of comments about her demeanor on the show. In a TikTok posted after the football star’s impression went live, she tells the camera while smiling, “I just got the most mortifying news.”
“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 — is from whining like a baby back bi—,” she continued, rolling her eyes at herself.
The possibility that one of the world’s biggest pop stars may have been watching the show alongside Travis, whom Swift has been dating since last summer, was also not lost on Blackwell. “Taylor Swift, if you’re watching it with him…,” she said, laughing. “Please stop.”
