Kylie Kelce Quietly Defends Taylor Swift

Kylie Kelce, wife of Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, has often stayed neutral when it comes to NFL drama, but her latest move on social media speaks volumes. After the “Anti-Hero” singer attended Super Bowl LIX to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and was met with boos from the crowd, Kylie expressed her reaction in a quiet yet impactful manner.

She “liked” a Feb. 13 Instagram post by Sports Illustrated, which featured Erin Andrews speaking out about the incident. The renowned sportscaster had criticized the Super Bowl audience during a Feb. 11 episode of the Calm Down With Erin and Charissa podcast, stating, “I feel bad for the most famous, amazing woman in the world who f–king gets booed at the Super Bowl.”

While Kylie did not make any direct statements, her support was clear, aligning herself with Andrews and others who disapproved of the crowd’s behavior toward Swift.

NFL Players Speak Out Against the Boos

The backlash against Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl has been widely discussed, with several high-profile NFL figures stepping in to defend her presence at the event.

One of the most vocal supporters was Saquon Barkley, the Philadelphia Eagles’ running back, who expressed confusion over why Swift was met with such negativity.

“I remember that they showed her on the jumbotron and she got booed,” Barkley recalled on a Feb. 12 episode of The Howard Stern Show. “I don’t get why she was getting hate there.”

The NFL veteran, who has played in the league since 2018, pointed out that Swift’s involvement has only benefited the NFL, helping to expand the league’s global reach.

“She’s there supporting her significant other, and she’s made the game bigger,” he continued. “In football, we’re all about how we can expand the game and make it more international. We’re traveling to Brazil, Mexico, and Australia soon. [Taylor] being a part of it is only helping that, so I don’t get the slack that she’s getting.”

Taylor Swift’s Reaction to the Booing

Despite the Super Bowl controversy, Taylor Swift appeared unfazed by the negative reaction. She was seen laughing off the boos while chatting with Ice Spice, her close friend and fellow music artist.

Swift has been no stranger to public scrutiny, and she has made it clear that outside opinions do not dictate her actions or happiness.

In a 2023 interview with Time Magazine, she addressed the criticism surrounding her presence at NFL games, stating:

“I’m just there to support Travis,” she explained. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

Her lighthearted approach to the situation highlights her confidence and self-assurance, proving that she remains unbothered by the haters.

The Bigger Picture: Taylor Swift’s Impact on the NFL

While some NFL fans have expressed frustration over the excessive media coverage of Taylor Swift’s appearances at games, there is no denying that her involvement has significantly boosted the league’s viewership and engagement.

Since her relationship with Travis Kelce became public, NFL ratings have seen a noticeable uptick, with many of Swift’s fans (Swifties) tuning in to watch Kansas City Chiefs games.

This surge in female viewership has led to increased merchandise sales, particularly Chiefs jerseys and Travis Kelce-themed apparel. Additionally, her presence has contributed to a more diverse audience demographic, something that the NFL has been actively working toward in recent years.

Despite some backlash from traditional football fans, the league itself has embraced Swift’s star power, recognizing the financial and cultural benefits she brings to the sport.

Whether or not this leads to a closer friendship, it’s clear that Kylie respects and supports Taylor amid the ongoing drama.  As for Taylor, she’s used to shaking off the hate, hate, hate. She took the negative moment in stride, laughing off the angry crowd with pal Ice Spice. And last year, the “Fortnight” singer spoke out on NFL fans who are less than thrilled by her infrequent presence in the stadiums.  “I’m just there to support Travis,” she told Time of the negative response from a certain league of NFL fans. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
