Harrison Butker is being blasted for quoting “Bejeweled.”
Former Kansas City Chiefs star Mitch Schwartz’s wife, Brooke Schwartz, slammed the team’s kicker for using Taylor Swift’s lyrics in his sexist, anti-LGBTQ commencement speech.
“I find it odd he quoted Taylor Swift in his propaganda speech,” the 30-year-old told her Instagram followers Wednesday.
She posted a screenshot of the Grammy winner’s “You Need to Calm Down,” asking, “Is he unaware of her very public views?”
While speaking to Benedictine College graduates on May 11, Butker referred to Swift, 34, by way of her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
“As my teammate’s girlfriend says, ‘Familiarity breeds contempt,'” the athlete, 28, said.

Butker spoke to the female students about being “homemakers” like his wife, Isabelle Butker, with Brooke likening his address to “The Handmaid’s Tale” in her Instagram Story response.
“I’m going to sound controversial since Mitch was teammates with him for many years,” she said. “I’ve stayed quiet about a lot of things, but this is absolutely so gross and backwards to me.
“This is what we’re telling young women graduating college?” Brooke continued. “That the most important thing they can become is a homemaker?”
She went on to write that “it is NEVER, EVER a man’s place to tell women what their roles are.”
While Butker has yet to speak out about his controversial speech since it began making headlines, he has been slammed by Maria Shriver, Hoda Kotb, Jenna Bush Hager and more celebrities.

The couple are in Europe amid the Grammy winner’s Eras Tour and were photographed enjoying a dinner date in Lake Como on Monday.
They spent three nights at the luxurious Villa Sola Cabiati.
