On May 11, Butker, the kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs, delivered a commencement speech at Benedictine College’s graduation ceremony, which sparked a backlash on social media.

In it, he quoted a lyric from Swift’s song ‘Bejeweled’ (from 2022’s ‘Midnights’): “As my teammate’s girlfriend says, ‘familiarity breeds contempt’,” he said, before directly addressing the women in the room.

“I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you.”

Butker continued: “Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”

And now Kelce, who plays tight end for the Chiefs and is in a high-profile relationship with Swift, has addressed the speech on his New Heights podcast with his brother Jason. Watch his comments below, starting at 24 minutes
