Taylor Swift Responds To A Football Fan Who Says She ‘Ruined The NFL:’ ‘I Didn’t Do Anything’
February 4, 2024 by Julia DeKorte
Taylor Swift has been making headlines as she supports her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, at his various NFL games. While the pop star has actually increased NFL viewership—the league clocked its highest regular-season female viewership since it began tracking it in 2000 AND has generated $331.5M in equivalent brand value for the Chiefs and the NFL—many football fans have found a way to be angry about it, screaming at her, “You ruined the NFL!” Usually, Taylor doesn’t respond to such nonsense, but this time, she clapped back. Keep reading for more details.
Last weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship, an outcome that not many predicted. Ravens fans were outraged at the loss, and rather than blaming their team, they turned on Taylor Swift.
As the “You Need To Calm Down” singer exited the stadium surrounded by her friends, one Ravens fan screamed at her, “You’re ruining the NFL!” while another just yelled, “F*** you!”
Taylor actually spoke on the backlash she gets for attending her boyfriend’s football games during her TIME Person of the Year interview. “I’m just there to support Travis,” the pop star said. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
Fed up with the baseless backlash, Taylor clapped back at the fans yelling obscenities at her, yelling right back, “I didn’t do anything!” That she didn’t.
