In what appeared to be a sly dig at Kelce after his shirtless post-workout photos went viral, he was amazed at Taylor Swift \u201cbeing good with that.\u201d Cousins discussed the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 tight end\u2019s hairy back in an interview with E! News, taking a subtle jab but calling it a \u201cpart of life\u201d and \u201cit is what it is.\u201d Kelce has shared a similar viewpoint as he previously called<\/a> himself a \u201cfurry son of a b\u2014-\u201d during his podcast.<\/p>\n

Kirk Cousins takes a dig at Travis Kelce\u2019s hairy back: \u2018God bless Taylor Swift\u2019<\/p>\n

Travis Kelce\u2019s back hair had the NFL\u2019s Kirk Cousins taking a sly dig at him and seemingly blessing Taylor Swift for being okay with it. Although Cousins couldn\u2019t relate to the body hair struggles, he exclusively told E! News<\/a> during the May 21 opening of Universal Epic Universe in Orlando, Florida, that he admired the singer, saying, \u201cGod bless Taylor Swift for being good with that.\u201d The Atlanta Falcons quarterback then added, \u201cThat\u2019s awesome. Good for her.\u201d He also believed Kelce\u2019s body hair was likely \u201cjust genetics\u201d and had nothing to do with football.<\/p>\n

Cousins then joked about not dealing with the same body hair issues as Kelce.\u00a0\u201cThankfully, I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0have to deal with that, but\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0in a locker room a lot,\u201d\u00a0he quipped during the interview, but claimed that it was\u00a0\u201cjust a part of life\u201d\u00a0and that\u00a0\u201cit is what it is.\u201d\u00a0The Chiefs\u2019 tight end echoed similar sentiments during the latest\u00a0episode<\/a>\u00a0of the\u00a0\u201cNew Heights\u201d\u00a0podcast while talking to his brother Jason. Referring to himself as a\u00a0\u201cfurry son of a b\u2014-,\u201d\u00a0he announced that he and heat\u00a0\u201cjust\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0do well together.\u201d\u00a0On one such occasion\u00a0before, the athlete also called himself\u00a0\u201cBig Yeti.\u201d<\/p>\n

Travis Kelce\u2019s hairy back photos surfaced after paparazzi found him shirtless following a workout in Miami. The snaps captured him after a sweaty and intense workout session, as he has now moved into his opulent Florida mansion to prepare for the upcoming NFL season, which could be his last. Kelce has reportedly<\/a> turned his home there into his \u201cbase of operations,\u201d while his days involve back-breaking training to bounce back from this year\u2019s Super Bowl defeat. The move came as he and Taylor Swift took a break from the spotlight. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nobody could\u2019ve thought\u00a0Travis Kelce\u2018s\u00a0back hair would be a burning issue, and now, his fellow NFL star,\u00a0Kirk Cousins, has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72313,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2074],"tags":[223,254,2554,224,7,294,5578,21531,6,4205,500],"class_list":{"0":"post-72312","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-atlanta-falcons","8":"tag-atlanta","9":"tag-atlanta-falcons","10":"tag-atlantafalcons","11":"tag-falcons","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-kirk-cousins","14":"tag-lifestyle","15":"tag-lifestyle-news","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-taylor-swift","18":"tag-travis-kelce"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114556050985997449","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
