NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News recently took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their report on NFL player Travis Kelce and popstar Taylor Swift as the world continues to swoon over their budding romance.
An entertainment writer for Fox News Digital, Caroline Thayer, wrote about how Kelce issued an apology to Swift's father, Scott Swift, after a “concert flub.”
