“The View” host Sara Haines isn’t buying Taylor Swift’s alleged romance with NFL player Travis Kelce.
The talk show star, 46, and executive producer Brian Teta appeared on Monday’s episode of the Behind the Table podcast — a program that gives viewers an inside look of “The View” — and she revealed why she isn’t too thrilled about the pairing.
Haines said that she and her colleagues were “having a disagreement” about which current news should be discussed daily on the chat show.
This led to the “Today” show correspondent becoming “upset” with Teta over his “annoying” demand that “The View” cohosts talk about the “Blank Space” singer’s love life.
Swift, 33, was spotted on Sunday at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium, cheering on Kielce, also 33.
Haines explained on the podcast: “I can usually find something, but I’ll let you know when I don’t care. This is a PR stunt, this whole thing, and I’m just not that interested in it, because it feels like you’re giving air to a publicity stunt.”
“She does not need more expensive concert tickets that are hard to get. Like, she’s good. We’re good,” she added of the “Cats” actress.
However, Teta shot back, saying that Haines had “an opinion that would’ve been interesting to hear on television.”
But the broadcast journalist stood by her point, firmly stating about the pop star’s wide and chaotic fanbase: “The Swifties are as bad as the Beyhive. They come for you if you even allude to them.”
“I don’t like to put negative energy out there, I don’t care who she dates, but it’s not because I’m a bad person,” Haines said.
She also added that moderator Whoopi Goldberg and cohosts Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin weren’t too keen to discuss Swift’s budding romance with the football player.
However, panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin was more than happy to chat about Swift and Kelce on air.
Teta added: “Moral of the story is everyone doesn’t always agree, and I made the decision not to do the topic because several of you felt this way, but I felt there’s a public interest.”
“You have an opinion, it might not be an opinion that people agree with, it might not be the most positive opinion in the world, but that’s okay, you do you,” he pointed out.
