New York Knicks forward Julius Randle found himself pranked by his wife. The focus of the video revolved around the budding romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, causing a playful dispute between the couple.
The sports world has been abuzz with the newfound relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift since mid-September. Rumors of their dating status began circulating earlier in the month, a topic that even caught the attention of notable figures like Stephen A. Smith, who remarked on his show that Swift “could do a lot worse” than Kelce.

Randle’s wife added her own twist to the saga by sharing his reaction to her comments on this celebrity coupling. She humorously suggested that Swift had “put Travis Kelce on the map,” a statement that left Randle in disbelief.
“Isn’t it crazy how like Taylor Swift put Travis Kelce on the map?” she said. “Like no one knew who he was.”
“You filming right now?” he responded. “No one knew who Travis Kelce was? Are you f—ing crazy?”
Swift’s fans, known as Swifties, decided to join in on the fun, pranking their friends and family who happen to be die-hard football enthusiasts. They playfully claimed that Swift’s involvement with the Chiefs’ tight end had “put him on the map.”
Randle couldn’t help but defend Kelce, highlighting his extensive list of achievements that stretched beyond the football field.

“Every football fan and a lot of people outside of football, a lot of people knew who he was,” Randle sighed in disbelief.
“He had a TV show on E!,” Randle argued passionately.
The Knicks forward even rebutted his wife’s claim that Patrick Mahomes was more well-known by saying, “If you know Patrick Mahomes, there is a good chance you know Travis Kelce.”
At the grand finale of Kendra Randle’s epic video, it’s like a wild goose chase as her husband finally catches her red-handed in the act of recording.
