'Great f—ng song': UFC commentator Joe Rogan shuts down Taylor Swift hate while discussing Travis Kelce's relationship pressure

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce keep dominating NFL conversations even in the offseason. Recently, UFC color commentator Joe Rogan stepped into the debate and strongly defended Taylor Swift on his podcast. The discussion began around criticism of Swift’s music but quickly shifted toward the pressure surrounding her public relationship with Travis Kelce.


The remarks grabbed attention because Swift has faced blame from sections of NFL fans for everything from playoff exits to Travis Kelce’s future. Rogan rejected that narrative. Instead, he praised her music and highlighted the difficulty of maintaining a high-profile relationship under constant scrutiny.

Speaking on a recent episode of his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience”, the UFC commentator pushed back at criticism of Taylor Swift’s popularity. Rogan recalled arguing with someone who called her music “dumb” before shutting it down with a blunt response. “No, it’s not. It’s not. She’s got some great songs. No Body, No Crime is a great f—ng song,” Rogan said during the episode. He then doubled down by pointing to her global fan base and cultural reach.

He further added, “Do you think you’re smarter than everybody who loves her?”

The conversation soon moved toward Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Rogan explained that public relationships face unusual pressure, especially when both figures attract massive attention. “It’s interesting when people are public, like a public relationship, like that. It’s like that’s a lot of pressure, and then you’re putting it all out there in the world and like everybody’s judging you, like it’s hard enough to keep a relationship together, but keep a relationship together when you have to field everyone’s opinions of you.”

The timing matters. Swift and Kelce have remained one of the NFL’s most talked-about couples since they first connected in 2023. In August 2025, Swift confirmed their engagement through an Instagram post, captioned "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” sparking ongoing wedding speculation.


Sources also suggested that there may be a plan for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding ceremony in mid-2026, followed by a three-week honeymoon. Reports also state that the couple will first jet off to the Bahamas before heading to Europe for some quality time on the Italian coast and at Lake Como.

Then, it's off to Paris for 'a few days', before romantic expeditions to the French Riviera and Croatia. The duo's last European destination will be a private island in Greece before heading to Singapore and Australia.

That constant attention explains Rogan’s point. The pop star often faces criticism whenever the Kansas City Chiefs struggle or Kelce’s future becomes uncertain.
Rogan’s comments flipped that narrative. Instead of blaming Swift, the UFC commentator framed her as someone navigating intense public pressure while maintaining a high-profile relationship.
