“I was just using Twitter as like, a diary,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said on his podcast.
Travis Kelce said he was trying to get his old tweets deleted. Fans found them anyway.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end reacted to several of his social media posts being recirculated on X — most of which were more than a decade old — that went viral over the past week as fans became infatuated with his romance with Taylor Swift.

“I will say that I’ve been trying to get all those tweets deleted,” Kelce said on the Nov. 22 episode of his “New Heights” podcast. “I’ve been trying like, since I’ve gotten into the league. I’m like, gosh, I just want I want all those things to get deleted. And sure enough, it came surface level, and everybody f—ing dove into 2011. What a f—ing year that was.”

Kelce’s brother and podcast co-host Jason Kelce then asked him what he thinks of his old tweets now.

“I was just using Twitter as like, a diary,” Kelce answered. “Just out here, just saying nonsense. I just gave a squirrel a piece of bread, and spelled squirrel like a jackass.”
