Overview
- Jahdae Barron shared an Instagram Story with a photo of him defending Travis Kelce captioned, “Tell swift put me on a song RIGHT NOW,” before removing it.
- The post was deleted in less than a day as screenshots circulated widely and Taylor Swift fans criticized the rookie on social media.
- Barron responded on Instagram and X, writing, “Y’all trolling on my phone” and, “I’m trying to be a artist, I just want some help,” to explain his intent.
- SI Broncos beat reporter Zack Kelberman’s screenshot on X helped propel the Story across platforms after it disappeared from Barron’s account.
- Context from the game underscored the exchange: Barron limited Kelce to two catches for 14 yards in direct coverage, though Kelce finished with 9 receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown.
