Love is Blind star Chelsea Blackwell has responded to Travis Kelce doing a mocking impersonation of her on his recent podcast.
The self-described Megan Fox lookalike, 31, took to her Instagram with a clip where she jokingly asked the athlete’s, 34, girlfriend Taylor Swift, 34, to intervene and ‘stop’ watching the reality dating series with him.
‘I just got the most mortifying news. I feel like I need to crawl under a rock at this point, because Travis Kelce did an impersonation of me,’ Chelsea said while filming in Nashville from her car.
‘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***h.’
‘Taylor Swift, if you’re watching it with him, please stop,’ Chelsea pleaded, while laughing.
Chelsea Blackwell responds to Travis Kelce’s impression of her
Love is Blind star Chelsea Blackwell, 31, has responded to Travis Kelce, 34, doing a mocking impersonation of her on his recent podcast in a new Instagram video
The self-described Megan Fox lookalike jokingly asked the athlete’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, 34, to ‘stop’ watching the reality dating show with him; Taylor and Travis seen in January
In her caption she wrote: ‘Travis, stop where you’re at’ with two red warning signs and a laughing-out-crying emoji.
The official Instagram account for Kelce’s New Heights podcast commented on the clip, writing, ‘Imitation is the highest form of flattery [heart emoji and laughing out crying emoji]…. (we’ve all been there).’
Another commentator wrote: ‘Taylor probably smacked him for that impersonation, don’t worry. She’s a girls girl.’
Somebody else suggested Chelsea should ‘Do an impersonation video of his “vivaaaaa Las Vegggasss” and tag him’, in reference to a cringe shout-out he did after winning the Super Bowl.
‘You know you’ve made it when Taylor’s bf is roasting you,’ someone else added.
Kelce used Wednesday’s New Heights episode to declare his ‘Love is Blind‘ fandom – and rip Chelsea in the process.
The Netflix dating show just wrapped up its sixth season and the Chiefs tight end is apparently one of the millions watching.
‘Jason, you gotta watch ‘Love Is Blind’, man. It is the worst trash ever,’ Travis told his brother.

Love is Blind star upset his fiancée doesn’t look like Megan Fox
Travis even used the discussion as an excuse to bring up ‘Catching Kelce,’ the now-infamous dating show he hosted in 2016, when he was single. ‘It’s worse than “Catching Kelce.” But it is so f*****g good.’
While Jason appeared uninterested in show, Travis urged him to watch so he could see much-criticized cast member Chelsea.
Blackwell did not wind up getting married to fiancée Jimmy Presnell, but was notably called ‘clingy’ by her partner – a claim which she disagreed with.
‘Honestly I just want you to watch the one girl and to just hear her. Oh my God,’ Travis said to his brother before imitating Blackwell.
‘You think I’m clingy? I’m clingy? Really?’
The recently-retired Jason fired back, ‘No, I’m not watching that… I’m not encouraging Netflix or any of these other subscription channels to make any more of this nonsense bulls***.’
Kelce is reportedly in talks to re-enter the TV hosting space, as Variety reported that he’s in discussions to host a reboot of the hit quiz show ‘Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?’
The new show would reportedly feature celebrity guests rather than children, as the program’s original iteration did.

Kelce then mocked cast member Chelsea, who was accused of being ‘clingy’; she is seen in a still from the show
His brother Jason Kelce was not swayed by Travis’ attempts to get him to watch the popular show
Travis previously hosted the show ‘Catching Kelce’ back in 2016 when he was single

However, Kelce’s potential involvement in the show is not a done deal, and there are reportedly concerns that he’d be able to commit enough time to the show.
The tight end is set to return for a 12th season with the Chiefs as the team goes for a historic three-peat.
Elsewhere on the podcast Kelce sparked engagement rumors and talks of having a baby with Swift by discussing ‘lab-grown’ rings and NBA players, like Victor Wembanyama, as he told his older brother Jason that he can’t wait until he ‘f***in’ makes his own little (or giant, rather) athlete, one day.
‘You can’t tell me that dude wasn’t made in a f***ing lab over there in France,’ Travis said at first, referring to ‘Wemby’ – a seven-ft-four rookie on the San Antonio Spurs.
‘Lab-grown diamonds, that’s a lab-grown-f***ing NBA player. Can’t wait til I f***in’ make one.’
Jason quickly chimed in, begging his younger brother to stop talking before he potentially brought some conspiracy theories to the table about the French, NBA player.
‘Don’t do this. Do not give any of these other conspiracy theorists anything else to latch onto, please,’ the former NFL center said.
Elsewhere on the podcast he sparked engagement and baby rumors by discussing ‘lab-grown’ rings. He and Swift have been dating since at least September 2023

Fans on social media reacted differently to Travis’ latest comments.
‘#HeSaidWhatHeSaid,’ one user on X tweeted, insinuating that the three-time Super Bowl champ can no take back his plans to wed his popstar girlfriend, one day.
‘This will get people to tune in that’s all I think this is if they we’re engaged or getting engaged I think Jason would be the one to hint at it not Travis also I really think it would be a family ring or vintage ring not a new ring,’ another pointed out.
The pair have been dating since at least September 2023, when the singer first attended a Kansas City Chiefs game to cheer Kelce on.
