Sports fans are teeing off on FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd for getting duped by a fake tweet from an X/Twitter account posing as Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce.

Musk told Swift in an X post, “I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.” Though Kelce didn’t respond to the post about his girlfriend, Colin Cowherd certainly thought he did.
