Travis Kelce's ex walks back Taylor Swift shade, stands behind ...

Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend denies throwing shade at Taylor Swift after “liking” a comment that called the pop star a “5” and claiming the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is a “cheater.”

“I don’t hate Taylor nor am I bitter,” Maya Benberry, 31, wrote on her Instagram Story Tuesday alongside screenshots of her email interview with the Daily Mail. “I got asked about my relationship & spoke on it because I can.”

“It’s my life & I can speak on it or about it whenever I please.”

The life coach asserted that her narrative about Kelce cheating on her has “never changed.”

Benberry also responded to reports that she “liked” a comment rating Swift a five out of 10 by denying that she actually feels that way.

“I don’t think that Taylor is a 5. The initial comment was someone complimenting me so I liked it without even paying attention just like I do every other comment on my page,” she explained.

“But once I caught wind that it was shade. I deleted the comment entirely.”

Benberry called herself a “grown ass woman” who stands by what she says.

“I am not a coward & if I truly felt that way about her, I would stand on it, just like I am standing on my infidelity answer,” she said.

The marketing and band consultant further expressed her respect for the “Cruel Summer” singer.

“Taylor is basically a billionaire and a boss. There is no need to hate nor have I or will I,” she said. “Like I said in my interview. I wish her the best of luck & I mean that genuinely.”

Benberry explained that Kelce “wasn’t the man” for her but “could be” for Swift, adding again that “only time will tell.”

“Lastly…what I’m not going to do is put on a facade about my experience when asked about infidelity,” she shared. “You don’t have to like my answer. But the truth is the truth.”

This week, Benberry found herself in hot water when she told the Daily Mail that Swift should be careful amid rumors that Kelce, 33, and the Grammy winner, also 33, are dating.

“Taylor seems like such a fun girl with a beautiful spirit, so I wish her the best of luck, but I wouldn’t be a girls’ girl if I didn’t advise her to be smart!” she told the outlet Tuesday, adding, “I’m sure by now she has mastered the ability to see who is really there for her — and who is just using her.”

She also alluded to her own relationship with Kelce, which ended after he was allegedly unfaithful to her.

“Only time will tell, but like the saying always goes: Once a cheater, always a cheater,” Benberry previously said.

The MXM Marketing Agency founder stole the two-time Super Bowl champ’s heart after competing and winning on Kelce’s 2016 E! dating reality show, “Catching Kelce.”

He and Benberry were only together for a few months before calling it quits. She then accused Kelce of cheating on her with a woman named Kayla Nicole, whom the pro athlete later dated for years.

“When you and your ex broke up five months ago but you find out via social media that he’s supposedly been in another relationship for 6…” she wrote in a since-deleted tweet.

However, an insider previously told Page Six that Benberry and Kelce “weren’t even together long enough” for him to have been unfaithful.

“They dated literally less than three months, and they were contractually obligated to not announce their breakup,” the source shared, noting that Benberry was “just the winner of the show.”

“So when she says, ‘Once a cheater, always a cheater,’ she doesn’t even know what she’s talking about. This is very much a 15-minutes-of-fame type of a moment for her.”

Kelce previously expressed his doubts about dating Benberry.

“I love your confidence, but at times, it does get overconfident,” the athlete reportedly told her on his reality show. “It kind of shows arrogance. I have been attracted to women like that my entire life, and those relationships didn’t work because of that.”

Kelce, who has dated a handful of beauties in the past, was first linked to Swift when a source claimed that they were “hanging out” earlier this month.

He reportedly attempted to give Swift his phone number via a friendship bracelet at one of her Eras Tour concerts in July — but was not successful.

Swift — who ended her six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn this spring — and Kelce fueled romance speculation Sunday when the “Shake It Off” artist attended his football game alongside his mother.

The rumored couple was later seen grabbing dinner together and then getting “affectionate” at an afterparty before she left Kansas City solo.
