Swift fans are pleading with Joy Behar, presenter of The View, to “calm down” after she referred to Taylor Swift’s new romantic partner Travis Kelce as a “idiot.”

Although Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s courtship is still being covered by the media, some Swift fans went into further detail about the NFL player’s previous 2010 and 2011 tweets. While some tweets are offensive to Swifties, others are quite wholesome.

Behar is one of the people who voiced their displeasure with the circumstances. Behar, who calls herself a die-hard fan of Taylor Swift, believes that the singer should break up with her “idiotic” boyfriend Kelce, particularly in light of the offensive language that some of his tweets have included, such as insults to women and body shaming.

According to Behar, “His lack of literacy is a more pressing issue. He seems fixated on the appearance of girls; that was his primary concern.” As she scrolled through Kelce’s 2011 tweets, she came across one that stated, “damn the Clippers girls gotta be the s—-y girls that don’t make the Lakers girls team, cuz they all were ugly.” Reading aloud two additional tweets that Kelce had since deleted, Behar questioned, “Why can’t girls hide their backfat” and asserted, “I feel like if u wanna be a cheerleader you have to pass a beauty test… there are too many ugly cheerleaders out here smh.”

In a similar vein, Sunny Hostin stated that Kelce has “probably grown up a lot” since his 2011 tweets. “I really think that these kids, their frontal lobe, at that age, they’re not developed and they’re writing all kinda stuff.” Goldberg concluded, “Listen, young people do young people stuff. And what you said 25 years ago may not be how you feel this time, so everybody needs to lighten up and let these people do what they want to do.”

Swifties weren’t having it, with many slamming Behar for her opinions on how Kelce was a decade ago. One Twitter user wrote, “I really really hate cancel culture. Buttttt, Swifties, when are we canceling Joy Behar for being mean to Travis Kelce?” Another tweet read, “Shut up Joy Behar and leave my fave Travis Kelce alone, who cares what you want.” Another tweet slammed the ladies of The View, saying, “This is the most appalling discussion I’ve ever heard.”
