Last year, Taylor Swift shocked the world as she took over the NFL with her budding relationship with Travis Kelce. While her fans may have loved to see the pop sensation on the jumbotron, not everyone seemed to feel that way. There were quite a few fans who claimed that the 34-year-old’s appearances were stealing the spotlight away from the football stars and their plays.

However, Kelce and a few members of his inner circle did not share those feelings. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end chose to focus on how the singer’s presence tightened the bond between NFL fans and their Swiftie daughters.

He also added that he was hyper-aware of it, only because “Taylor’s in my life now.” With Swift making appearances at the NFL, she has brought in a much larger female crowd into the world of football. While some people may not like it, there is no doubt that some dads are cherishing every moment they get with their Swiftie daughters at these games.
