Kelsea Ballerini Shares Stance on 'Close' Friend Taylor Swift's Travis Kelce Romance
Kelsea Ballerini may not be up to date on the specifics of "close" friend Taylor Swift's relationship with her newest romantic interest, Travis Kelce, but, like the rest of the riveted world, she still has an opinion!
The "If You Go Down" singer spoke with several outlets on the red carpet of the People's Choice Awards on Thursday, Sept. 28, where she was quick to gush over both parties when asked.
"Listen, I have no skin in this game, but I love Travis," she told Extra TV correspondents.
"We did SNL together. I love Taylor. We were close for many years. And I want happiness for everyone. So, vibe," she said.

Then, Access Hollywood hit her up, pointing out that the Saturday, Sept. 30 episode of Saturday Night Live is a repeat of her own.
"Thanks, Taylor Swift," she joked, before confirming that it's less about the couple and more about their feelings for her when it comes to who or what she "ships."
"Oh, I ship happiness. Whoever is happy with whoever is what I ship," she said. "I adore Taylor. I adore Travis. If they're happy, I ship it—period."

The reporter had to get one last joke in, noting, "It's nice that Taylor put him on the map, you know, now people know who he is."
Ballerini laughed in response, directing a "Slay, queen!" at the camera before the two parted ways.
The country sweetheart performed during this year's PCAs, where she was also nominated for several awards.
