Krysten Ritter clearly isn’t a Swiftie.
The actress, 42, got roasted on social media Monday for failing to identify Travis and Jason Kelce on “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.”
Ritter, who was competing with fashion designer Christian Siriano and “Schitt’s Creek” actress Sarah Levy, was trying to solve a puzzle in the “family” category that spelled out “Travis & Jason Kelce.”
The “K” and “C” in “Kelce” were the only letters missing but Ritter — as well as her celebrity teammates — still couldn’t figure out the puzzle.
Host Pat Sajak told Ritter to keep spelling, so she guessed “C,” leaving one letter left on the board to solve.
“What is this word?” Siriano, 38, asked.
Ritter spun again and guessed “K” to complete the puzzle, winning $48,250 for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
The “Breaking Bad” actress incorrectly pronounced “Kelce” when she read the phrase aloud — but thankfully Sajak, 77, accepted the answer.
“I don’t know who they are,” Ritter admitted about the NFL brothers.
“They’re football players,” Levy, 37, told Ritter, who hilariously responded, “Well, that’s why!”
Levy explained that she only knows about the brothers because one of them (Travis) is dating Taylor Swift.
“I make clothes for a living,” Siriano said, explaining why he’s unfamiliar with the Kelce bros.
After the episode aired, fans were in disbelief over Ritter’s lack of knowledge about the Kelces, and they took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their opinions.
“Krysten doesn’t know who Jason and Travis Kelce are. And mispronouncing their last name #celebritywheeloffortune,” one fan wrote.
Another said, “They had no idea who Travis and Jason Kelce are and I’m dying at how lost they were.”
“Watching Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and I just want to know what rocks these celebrities are living under,” a third fan tweeted.
A different person wrote, “poor travis kelce getting hit tonight on #celebritywheeloffortune cant pronounce his name, 2 people no clue who he is, the one that did says its because of #TaylorSwift I’m rolling.”
The Kelce brothers have become household names (though apparently not for everybody) due in part to Travis’ relationship with Swift. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, and the “Love Story” singer, 34, have been dating since the fall of 2023.
Earlier this year, Travis opened up about dealing with the major media attention that’s come with his public relationship with Swift. He said the couple are focused on being “happy” together and don’t get affected by the “outside noise.”
However, sources recently told Page Six that Swift “is worried” that Travis will “get freaked out” by the extreme fame from their relationship.
“Travis is a peacock, but he has never dated a celeb before, and she is one of the most famous women in the world. Right now he is enjoying everything and she is hoping that it stays like that,” the insider said.
