Taylor Swift has been making headlines recently for her presence at Kansas City Chiefs games, thanks to her relationship with tight end Travis Kelce. The Grammy-award-winning singer has been a good luck charm for the Chiefs, with the team going 18-3 in games she has attended over the past two seasons.
However, some football fans have been complaining about the amount of airtime Swift receives during broadcasts. In response, Swift said in an interview, "I'm just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads."
How much time was Swift actually on TV during the Super Bowl?
Super Bowl LVIII was the most-watched US broadcast since the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, with an average of 123.4 million people tuning in. During the 74-minute and 57-second game, Swift was on TV for a total of 55 seconds, or 0.36% of the broadcast.
The Chiefs tight end referenced the 'Brads and Chads' comment on his podcast, saying, "There might have been a few Brads and Chads that were booing, but for the most part, everybody was fuck*** screaming their tail off for her."
The beautiful game takes a backseat to Swift's antics
It's a fuck*** disgrace that the beautiful game is being overshadowed by some pop star's attendance at matches. Football is life, and it's a bloody shame that the focus is on Swift instead of the actual game. The lads on the pitch are the real stars, not some celebrity in the stands.
Swift may be a good luck charm for the Chiefs, but her presence is taking away from the real reason we tune in to watch football. It's not about her, it's about the lads on the pitch giving it their all. It's about the beautiful game, the footy, and the passion and dedication of the players.
Taking liberties with the beautiful game
Swift's presence at Chiefs games is a prime example of taking liberties with the beautiful game. It's not about her, it's about the footy. The lads on the pitch are the ones who should be getting the attention, not some pop star in the stands.
The fact that Swift's appearances on the broadcast are even being discussed is a fuck*** joke. It's a slap in the face to the lads who are out there giving it their all. Football is life, and it's about time we start focusing on the game instead of the distractions in the stands.
