By all indications, it seems Taylor Swift is going above and beyond to cheer for her beau, Travis Kelce. Although around this time, the paparazzi and the camera lens swarming for a glimpse of Swift are not really a shocker. Instead, the unanticipated jolt is the NFL’s official social handle hyping up Taylor Swift and her presence ahead of the wild card game between the Chiefs and Miami Dolphins at Arrowhead Stadium, erupting fans in discord.

In the recent while, there have been only a handful of games where Taylor Swift’s absence made the headlines. However, today is not one of those days. The NFL caught the eyes of the pop sensation as she made a regal arrival ahead of the match in a custom red Travis Kelce embellished puffer jacket made by Kristin Juszczyk. As the league took to its X (formerly Twitter) handle to flaunt her majestic arrival, fans evoked disappointment over the extended attention on Swift. 

Taylor Swift’s all-red palette has cast the spell even on the NFL. The star was seen sporting a white beanie along with the red puffer while complementing her fit with the classic red lips. Only days ago, the world witnessed a cutting-edge joke on the NFL for capturing Swift in numerous camera shots. And it might feel that today the fans were cornering on its truth claim as the singer made her appearance for the game, with even more eyes on her.

Needless to say, the sports enthusiasts were thrown a little off the ground. And in turn, were quickly reminded of the infamous “cutaways” jest at this year’s Golden Globes. 

Fans showcase displeasure as the NFL makes the most of Taylor Swift’s presence

The thing about Taylor Swift is that she never shies away from going loud with her cheerleading energy. Especially when it comes to Travis Kelce, she makes sure to put out her best front. The same has also been visible time and again as she attended the games in the past year. While her shout-outs are truly admirable, it seems that the fans are not in the same boat with the amount of attention that is been exerted on her.

From the sight of the social thread, it also seems that the sports lovers might even be a tad bit frustrated from the same. The bitterness is not only flowing through the exchange but flooding in with dissatisfaction.

The magnetic pull between Taylor Swift and the paps is undeniably strong. To the degree that it might tick off the fans with the feeling of less focus being put on the games itself. While there are no picking sides to this, one thing that both the icon and fans can see eye to eye in is the helplessness regarding the developments. Hence, despite the frenzy around the jacket, it seems that the NFL fans and Swift might not sing from the same hymn sheet anytime soon.
