While the Chiefs were dominating the Jets on the field, the cameras frequently cut to Swift to capture her reactions and interactions, prompting some NFL fans to express frustration that she was stealing the spotlight from the game itself.
Right-wing commentator Tomi Lahren tweeted her annoyance, stating, “The wall-to-wall coverage of Taylor Swift at this game is annoying AF. I don’t even like football and I agree it’s destroying football. Just enough.”
Another viewer questioned the hype, noting that many celebrities attend football games every Sunday and suggesting people should grow up.
Some fans of the sport echoed the sentiment, with one saying, “I love football, and this is annoying AF,” and another expressing frustration with NBC’s focus on Swift’s presence.
There were even speculations that Swift’s appearance was part of a conspiracy to boost NFL viewership, with some suggesting she was paid to attend the game. However, these claims remained unverified.
Despite the mixed reactions, there was one intriguing moment when lip readers believed they caught Swift saying something about Travis Kelce. In a brief moment captured on camera, Swift seemed to express admiration for Kelce, saying, “Look at him.” She then playfully mimicked his celebratory flexing, inadvertently colliding with her friend and stylist, Ashley Avignone, in her excitement.
While Swift and Kelce have yet to confirm any romantic relationship, rumors continue to circulate about their connection. It remains to be seen whether Swift will attend the Chiefs’ next game, which will likely generate further buzz and debate among NFL fans.
