Josh Charles Says He Called Travis Kelce a ‘D***’ on Taylor Swift Set, Plays Down ‘Fight’ Rumor

He casts the exchange as Ravens‑fan ribbing after Kansas City’s AFC title win.

Overview

  • On The Tonight Show on Jan. 5, Charles said he told Kelce he was "kind of a d***" when they met on Taylor Swift’s 2024 Fortnight video, which later won MTV’s Video of the Year.
  • He rejected Ethan Hawke’s prior suggestion that there was a set "fight," saying the story was exaggerated and there was no altercation.
  • Charles said his jab came from frustration as a Baltimore Ravens fan after the Chiefs beat Baltimore in the AFC Championship.
  • According to Charles, Kelce laughed and explained he brought "swagger" to that game to get in opponents’ heads, even drawing a personal foul that benefited Kansas City.
  • Charles added that they talked football and got along, praising Kelce as "such a good dude."
