She’s in her accusatory era.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift may have fueled dating rumors over the weekend, but the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s ex-girlfriend, Maya Benberry, is warning his new “Lover” about his cheating ways.

“Once a cheater always a cheater,” Benberry told the Daily Mail on Tuesday after Swift supported her rumored beau at Missouri’s Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

“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,” Benberry, a life coach and marketing and brand consultant, said of the 12-time Grammy-winning pop star.

“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 concluded.

Kelce and Benberry dated for five months after she won his E! reality dating show “Catching Kelce” in 2016.

She previously accused the two-time Super Bowl champ of cheating on her with sports broadcaster and model Kayla Nicole in a series of since-deleted tweets, writing in one, “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 …”

Nicole and Kelce went on to date on-again, off-again from 2017 to May 2022.

But a source close to Kelce told TMZ on Tuesday that Benberry’s interview is, “A poor excuse of someone trying to get her 15 min of fame.”

The insider claims the pair only dated for a month after the reality competition and that Kelce never cheated on Benberry.

The Post has contacted reps for Benberry, Kelce and Swift for comment.

Benberry also appeared on MTV’s “Ex on the Beach” reality dating series in 2018. She has nearly 150,000 Instagram followers and 11,000 on X, the platform previously known as Twitter.

On Monday, she also “liked” a comment on her Instagram of a fan calling Swift a “5.”

But for now, many Swifties can’t get enough of their queen’s seemingly budding romance — even as some skeptics in sports media aren’t sold.

Meanwhile, Kelce’s jersey sales skyrocketed nearly 400% after Swift cheered him on at Sunday’s game.

After the game, the duo hopped in a convertible and had dinner at a local restaurant, where Swift allegedly created a “Blank Space” for their date by paying for everybody in the restaurant so they would leave and the famous duo could dine in peace.
