After news broke that the pop star, 33, and Travis Kelce, 34, are potentially an item, the country legend weighed in on the new romance.
“Oh, my gosh, I am so mad at her because I had a crush on him,” the red-headed beauty said while talking to Today.com on Thursday, October 12.
“Now I can’t have a crush anymore because he’s dating her," she joked, adding that when the two were spotted together she would refer to Kelce as her “boyfriend that cheated on” her.
“When he and Taylor started dating, Rex said, ‘Your boyfriend’s got another girlfriend,'” she quipped about her boyfriend, Rex Linn. “I said, ‘Rub it in.'”
