A “Saturday Night Live” comedy trio is taking credit for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s romance — but only if it goes the distance … otherwise, they want nothing to do with it.
The topic of Traylor kickstarted when comics Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy — who make up Please Don’t Destroy on ‘SNL’ — spilled the beans on working with Tay Tay.

They told host Mike Birbiglia on the ‘Working It Out’ podcast the star told them she had watched Travis’ ‘SNL’ episode before they first met and she liked what she saw.
Ben added that Taylor told them she thought Travis seemed super funny in the clip … saying that it was in that moment that they kinda, sorta brought them together.
However, Ben shared some serious reservations about taking credit for the Traylor romance — only ’cause of Taylor’s army of devoted fans, the Swifties.

He said that if things were to ever go south between the pair … they’d be the ones getting roasted over the coals for it.
Travis, of course, got in on the action hosting ‘SNL’ in March 2023 — about six months before he went public with Taylor. It’s interesting … they’re saying this is when Travis first fell onto Taylor’s radar — but whether she was actually interested or not … well, anyone’s guess.
Travis also appeared in a pre-taped sketch written by Please Don’t Destroy, where he played a hilarious self-defense instructor named Kurt Lightning … so yeah, they have ‘SNL’ history.
