Why some NFL fans boo Taylor Swift at Travis Kelce’s games: the ‘Anti-Hero’ superstar might be loved by Swifties, but the hardcore, sport-loving ‘Brads and Chads’ don’t like the shifted attention
- Taylor Swift attracts eyeballs wherever she goes, so it’s no wonder that she gets plenty of attention when she’s seen supporting her new beau Travis Kelce at his Kansas City Chiefs games
- The singer has unfortunately been booed at games, but seems to ‘shake it off’ just fine – and has the support of her loyal Swifties, her beau and even David Letterman, who just spoke out on the matter
Given her colossal fan base and global influence, Taylor Swift is pretty much the centre of attention wherever she goes – but that attention isn’t always positive. As Swift puts it aptly in “Shake it Off”: haters gonna hate, hate, hate.
Sadly though, not all attendees are as pumped to see the singer in love in real time, as hardcore NFL fans believe her presence diverts eyeballs from the game. Other reports suggest that the negativity towards Swift might stem from some NFL fans’ conservative political views, which contrast with Swift’s openly liberal stance. Either way, they haven’t been afraid to speak out about their distaste for the Grammy-winning hitmaker.
Footage shared to X, formerly known as Twitter, shows crowds booing Swift as she appears on the screen at Gillette Stadium in December.
Swifties have been quick to come to her defence, of course – and even some of her fellow celebs have spoken up for her. David Letterman said he is “#teamtaylor” in a recent video posted on Instagram. “It’s good for the footballers, it’s good for Taylor Swift and it’s something positive and happy for the world,” he said.
