Taylor Swift, Football, and Family

The star gets more hate than she deserves in NFL discourse

I’ll be honest with all of you: I am totally ambivalent about Taylor Swift. I know that she has an army of exceptionally loyal/crazy fans nicknamed “Swifties” and has had her dating life perpetually analyzed. She is a megastar.

I don’t listen to her music. When I saw she was dating Travis Kelce, my only thought was that he always seemed like a decent guy, bouts of intensity on the field notwithstanding. Then I went back to watching football. They’re both only a few years older than I am.
