Taylor Swift’s presence at NFL games has caused quite a stir, especially with her recent appearances at Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s games. Speculations about their relationship began when Swift attended the Chiefs’ game against the Chicago Bears on September 24. Although neither party has confirmed their relationship, Swift’s attendance overshadowed the game itself, fueling the rumors.
On Sunday, Swift attended another Chiefs game, this time against the New York Jets, accompanied by celebrity friends such as Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Her presence garnered significant attention, with all eyes and cameras on her. Recognizing Swift’s influence, the NFL even featured three photos of her reactions during the game as its background image on its X account the following day.
However, Swift’s alleged romance with an acclaimed Super Bowl champion has raised suspicions of a publicity stunt, possibly to divert attention from her previous controversial relationship. Some NFL fans, particularly conservative pundits, have attacked Kelce for appearing in ads that are interpreted as supporting COVID-19 vaccines and LGBTQ+ rights. Meanwhile, Swift’s left-leaning politics have led to juvenile insults from the right, criticizing her appearance and labeling Kelce as a less dominant “beta” male.
Interestingly, the majority of the attacks seem to arise from individuals who are simply annoyed by Swift distracting from the intense and traditionally masculine world of football. During the Chiefs versus Jets game, the hashtag “Enough Taylor Swift” even trended on social media, with some suggesting that the NFL rigged the game in the Chiefs’ favor to please Swift’s fans and boost ratings.
Right-wing commentator Tomi Lahren, although not a football fan herself, also voiced her annoyance about the excessive coverage of “Traylor.” On the other hand, there are social media users who defend Swift and dismiss the right-leaning backlash as nonsense.
Regardless of one’s stance on Swift’s attendance at NFL games, there seems to be one significant benefit – her presence has brought attention to important causes. By leveraging her popularity, Swift has encouraged thousands of young people to register to vote. So, whether it’s a publicity stunt or a genuine interest in football, Swift’s impact on the NFL and its fans cannot be denied.
