Olivia Wilde sparks huge backlash over Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce dig

Olivia Wilde has appeared to hit out at all the attention Taylor Swift's alleged romance with Travis Kelce has been getting.

The ‘Anti-Hero’ singer was recently spotted at the latest Kansas Chiefs game, reportedly gushing over her rumoured love interest with Blake Lively.

While they’ve yet to confirm any relationship, the singer-songwriter is rumored to be dating the Kansas Chiefs player.

However, Swift has now been the target of ire online from actor and director Wilde, who thinks that she should draw more attention to issues such as climate change rather than football.

Taking to Instagram to take a swipe at Swift, she re-posted a tweet which read: "I wish Taylor Swift was in love with a climate scientist."

The post was presumably in reference to the fact that Swift is currently rumoured to be dating football player Kelce, and has previously posted about football.

Swift and Kelce have drawn a lot of attention since it first emerged the pair were dating.

The tweet and Instagram post implied pretty strongly that the attention directed towards Swift and Kelce would have been better directed towards climate change.

The implication was that perhaps if Swift dated a climate scientist people might start to pay more attention to those issues.

Wilde has been the subject of a backlash from fans of Swift since making the post online.

Some people have drawn attention to Wilde's jet-setting lifestyle with ex partner Harry Styles with whom she was frequently seen jetting off to various locations.

One person posted: "She wasn't worried about climate change when she was flying across the country to go chase Harry lmao."

Another replied: "'Olivia Wilde is the last person who should be criticizing anyone about who they date."

But one person was a bit more sympathetic, posting: "I don't even like olivia wilde but i think she was real for that! yall are BORED."

Rumors emerged that Swift and Kelce could be an item around a month ago, with the NFL player is reportedly smitten with the singer, who is currently in the midst of her Eras tour.

Kelce's mom Donna Kelce also went on the Today Show and revealed that she had met Swift.

Seeming a little uncomfortable, she revealed: "It is fairly new, so I don't like to talk about it. It's just one of those things where, you know, obviously everybody saw me. It's just, you know, another thing that's amped up my life."
