‘It is the worst trash ever’: Travis Kelce calls out Charlotte season of ‘Love is Blind’

“Karma is the guy on the Chiefs” … calling out the new season of “Love is Blind” in Charlotte?

People all over the country have been tuning in to the latest season of Netflix’s reality dating show featuring 30 local men and women who date behind closed doors — including the Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, who poked fun at the show on his podcast with his brother Jason.

“Jason, you’ve got to watch ‘Love is Blind’ man. It is the worst trash ever. It’s worse than ‘Catching Kelce’ but it is so f****** good,” he said on the recent episode of the New Heights podcast.

Unlike Travis — and maybe Taylor Swift, too! — Jason shut down the idea of watching the season that only ended with one couple getting married.

“I’m not encouraging Netflix or any of these other subscription channels to make any more of this nonsense bull****,” he said.

But Travis begged Jason to watch, specifically to see contestant Chelsea Blackwell, who he jokingly mocked from one of her biggest blowouts with her ex-fiance Jimmy Presnell.

“You think I’m clingy? I’m clingy? Really,” Travis said in his best Chelsea impersonation.

“JASON. I repeat…don’t do it,” she commented on a post of the video.

Along with thousands of other “Love is Blind” fans, NFL fans and Swifties, Presnell also reacted to the video, commenting, “Oooof.”

Blackwell, who’s infamously known for sharing that she looks like Megan Fox on the show, even made her own post about what she called “the most mortifying news.”

“I feel like I need to crawl under a rock at this point because Travis Kelce did an impersonation of me and the only outlet that this man knows my name — or not even knows my name — knows me is from whining like a baby back b****,” she posted in a video on Instagram. “Taylor Swift, if you’re watching it with him, please stop.”

How to watch ‘Love is Blind’

So it doesn’t seem like Jason will be watching the reality show anytime soon, but if you haven’t tuned it yet, you can catch the full season of “Love is Blind” including the reunion episode on Netflix.
