Taylor Swift bravely confronted heckling Baltimore Ravens fans who accused her of “ruining the NFL” during her attendance at a recent AFC Championship Game.
Swift was present to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, as his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, faced off against the Ravens on Sunday (28 January) with hopes of advancing to the Super Bowl final. The incident occurred at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, where Swift, donning Kansas City Chiefs-themed jewelry, was seen walking with Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs player Patrick Mahomes.
While some fans expressed their admiration for Swift, others were less hospitable. A video circulating online captured a fan accusing Swift of having “ruined the NFL.” The criticism didn’t stop there, with others blaming her for “ruining football,” and one individual even resorted to profanity, reportedly saying, “F**k you.”
Swift’s frequent appearances at Chiefs games have been a point of contention for some long-time football fans, who are critical of the attention she receives during broadcasts. However, it’s important to note that Swift, a successful artist in her own right, likely isn’t seeking camera time and may not even be aware of when she’s shown on TV.
Despite the negativity, Swift stood her ground. When confronted by the critical fans, she responded, “I didn’t do anything.”
Swift’s presence became more pronounced as the Chiefs secured a 17-10 victory. After the game, she joined Kelce on the field, sharing a hug and a kiss, and was heard saying, “I’ve never see you like that. That was insane. I can’t believe it,” followed by, “I love you.”
With the Chiefs’ triumph over Baltimore, they are now poised to compete against the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl final on 11 February. Swift’s attendance at the final remains uncertain, as it is scheduled just a day after her concert series in Tokyo, Japan concludes.
