Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has switched his focus from supermodel Gisele Bundchen as he began trolling Taylor Swift amid her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.
Brown, a former teammate of Gisele’s ex-husband Tom Brady, has a controversial history on social media with the NFL legend and Brazilian model previously finding themselves in his firing line.
But Brown appeared to begin targeting Taylor and her Super Bowl-winning beau as he trolled the pop superstar’s fanbase on Friday.
He shared what seemed to be an AI-generated cartoon image of himself in a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey, kissing the songstress, who is wearing a light blue cheerleader’s uniform.
‘Move over Jizelle, what these Swifties talkin bout? #CTESPN,’ he wrote alongside the image on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Brown appeared to be attempting to rile up Taylor’s fans, known as ‘Swifties’, who are renowned for their fierce loyalty and protectiveness of the Anti-Hero hitmaker.
The singer dominated NFL headlines throughout the 2023 season, attending 13 of the Chiefs’ games, including the Super Bowl, to support boyfriend Travis.
The tight end has repaid her support by attending a number of her Eras Tour shows, including Friday’s performance in Singapore, where he waited for her backstage to greet her with a kiss.
Surprisingly, Travis claimed in January that Brown was one of his favorite people to follow on social media.
During the Kansas City Chiefs’ AFC Championship win over the Baltimore Ravens, Travis broke Jerry Rice’s record for most postseason receptions in NFL history.
Following Travis’s achievement, Brown hailed the tight end as one of the ‘dopest crackers’ he knows on Twitter, formerly known as X.
Travis’s Philadelphia Eagles star brother Jason Kelce claimed Brown’s post was ‘probably the biggest compliment’, during the latest episode of their New Heights podcast.
‘I appreciate you AB, man. Feels good to be one of the dopest crackers,’ Travis replied, while laughing. ‘I love that s***. He’s one of my favorite follows on twitter, you’ve got to follow him.’

Travis’s endorsement of Brown’s Twitter profile raises eyebrows, give the former wide receiver’s controversial history in the NFL and on social media.
Friday’s cartoon isn’t the first time Brown has used doctored images to bait a fellow NFL star as he previously used Gisele as a means to troll his former friend and teammate Brady.
Brady had encouraged the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to acquire the embattled Brown in 2020 amid accusations of sexual assault and harassment, which he has since settled out of court. He even allowed Brown to stay with him in preparation for the season.
A year earlier, Brady had pushed for the New England Patriots to sign Brown, only to have the team cut him after one game when the sexual misconduct allegation first surfaced.
But Brown has attacked his former teammate with the troubled star continuously blaming Brady for the end of his career.
Brown antagonized Brady over his divorce from Gisele in 2022. He frequently posted photoshopped photos, suggesting that he’s having a romantic relationship with Brady’s ex.

Speaking in an interview with Patrick Bet-David in October 2022, Brown was quizzed on why he has repeatedly tried to torment Brady with mock images of him with Brady’s now ex-wife on social media.
‘I’m not smashing his girl, I don’t know his girl,’ Brown, 34, said before Bet-David interjected and said ‘that’s not where I’m going’.
Brown continued: ‘People go through a divorce everyday. What about me? What about when I’m in the news and people say I’m crazy?
‘It’s just a picture from the Super Bowl. His divorce is his personal life, I ain’t got nothing to do with that bro. A lot of the things I’ve said tonight you guys are never going to understand.
‘How am I going to make you understand if I’m telling you what I think and you can sort out what I think? Just so you can marginalize what’s respect and what’s not?’
Bet-David continued and said Brown’s trolling of Brady ‘threw me off’. Brown seemed uncomfortable but ultimately unrepentant.

‘It is what it is,’ Brown said. ‘It’s nothing to do with the kids. I don’t expect you guys to understand.’
Brown infamously caused a scene during a January 2, 2022 game against the New York Jets, undressing and tossing equipment before rushing off the field. He was subsequently released and has not returned to the NFL since.
Recently, Brown has launched a tirade of posts claiming CTE, a neurodegenerative disease many former football players are diagnosed with post-mortem, is not real.
Another troubled player Chandler Jones recently revealed that he and Brown were going to launch a ‘CTE podcast’.
