'Travis Kelce admitted one thing he never does with Taylor Swift. It's the biggest red flag ever.'

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's love story continues to captivate us all.

The loved-up couple — who started dating in July 2023 and got engaged in August 2025 — are currently in wedding-planning mode, but it was a throwaway comment made by the Kansas City Chiefs tight end that has raised eyebrows — and infuriated some corners of the internet.

On his podcast, New Heights, Kelce was interviewing actor George Clooney about how he previously said he has never gotten into an argument with his wife Amal Clooney, despite being together for over 10 years.

"I'm not lying," Clooney joked in reply. "Travis, shall we ask you the same questions?"

To this, Kelce shared a curious claim about his relationship with his fiancée, Swift.

"Well, it's only been two and a half years, and you're right. I haven't gotten into an argument. Never once," he said.

Clooney added he didn't see the point in arguing, because "Neither of us are gonna win the argument, so why get in?" he continued.

"I've met this incredible woman… she's beautiful and smart, and she stands for all the most important things that I believe in in the world. And I can't believe how lucky I am. So what am I going to fight about?"

Travis nodded along as Clooney spoke, telling the Ocean's 11 star, "I'm just taking notes this whole time, big guy. You don't even know."

So… okay. I need a minute here.

Do Taylor and Travis really never have a single argument? Sounds fake but okay.

The comment immediately drew a heap of criticism online, with many saying this is a big ol' red flag.

Others online have joked about the couple's critics, pondering why this couple would ever fight, considering their combined star power makes them two of the most famous, privileged and wealthy people in the world.

The root of many fights between couples comes down to money, division of labour, and everyday stressors. Experiences that don't really weigh on the rich and famous.

Would they fight about having too much money? Having too many designer clothes? Too many bucket hats? Not enough room in their mansions to house Taylor's cats? Selling too many albums? Winning too many sports games? (I don't really understand what this man does).

It's also worth wondering whether Taylor and Travis have actually had arguments…. but Travis didn't know it. Or else, he doesn't categorise some momentary tiffs as serious disagreements.

But if what he claims is true — in my opinion — it's worrying that these two are about to get married without ever getting into an argument.

A huge part of any relationship is conflict resolution and learning each other's fight styles, so if Swift and Kelce haven't navigated these issues yet, I'd say it's a little too soon for them to be heading down the aisle.

Of course, I'm not saying fighting all the time is healthy either, but people naturally have different opinions and perspectives that would lead to the occasional clash.

When issues are ignored or avoided, they don't disappear — instead, they fester under the surface. I'd hate for these issues to come up after these two get married.

A significant body of research emphasises how navigating conflict is key to a successful relationship.

According to research by Dr John Gottman, the style of a couple's conflict predicts whether a relationship will be a success or failure. He splits couples who handle conflict well as 'Masters' versus those who don't as 'Disasters'.

Dr Gottman emphasises how Masters remain physically calmer during arguments and use positive behaviors like humour, affection, and understanding throughout conflict.

In the book Five Arguments All Couples (Need to) Have: And Why the Washing-up Matters by former divorce lawyer and current couples therapist, Joanna Harrison, she argues that conflict avoidance is far more dangerous than the arguments themselves.

She penned how an argument can boost communication, and after an argument, couples should adopt the mindset of: "Why do you think that was difficult for both of us? What are we missing?"

Obviously, there is the chance that Swift and Kelce agree on everything they've ever discussed and are so damn compatible that they have nothing to argue about.

Can't relate but love and light to you both! Must be nice!
