Stephen A. Smith went deep in thought before flooring Jimmy Fallon with his take on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s future.
The ESPN star appeared on the Tonight Show and discussed contentious subjects, including the running joke about Smith’s bid for the 2028 US Presidential elections and the New York Knicks winning the NBA title.
Smith, known for his unapologetic takes, was asked to give his thoughts on several generated hot takes to close up the segment.
One of the takes chosen was that Kelce and Swift would get married in 2025. And Smith’s response had Fallon jumping off his seat.
‘I’m scared to get this wrong,’ Smith expressed. ‘Travis Kelce, that’s my dawg. I got to tell you: a lot of ladies love Travis Kelce. Travis Kelce has loved a lot of ladies.
‘But Taylor Swift’s a different animal. She looks good. She’s incredibly talented. And she’s worth about a billion (dollars). We’re going to guess a ‘yes’ on this one.’

After standing up in excitement, Fallon raved about Smith’s forecast.
‘That’s a hot take,’ Fallon responded. ‘… I hope that happens.’
Smith described Swift as a ‘three-headed monster’ – alluding to the traits he had pointed out earlier.
According to Smith, ‘That’s a hard, hard thing to turn down,’ for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
The hitmaker attended 22 games since dating Kelce. As a result, Swift’s cult-like fanbase flooded into the NFL’s viewership and attendance, hoping to get a glimpse of their idol.
In a statement, the NFL’s senior vice president for social, influencer, and content marketing, Ian Trombetta, said the league’s social media consumption saw a spike among women aged 13 to 24.
Swift was most recently seen at the VIP suite at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans for the Super Bowl showdown between Kansas City and Philadelphia.
Although the Eagles stomped on the Chiefs’ three-peat dreams in a 40-22 win, a source told Page Six that Swift ‘couldn’t be more proud’ of Kelce.
