When two of the biggest names in NFL entertainment take a stand for you, then it makes a statement.
Both Pat McAfee and Colin Cowherd took to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s defense, especially with the unwarranted negativity surrounding the love birds.
McAfee made an instant connection with the Swifties, (Taylor’s legion I’d fans) by vigorously defending the “Shake It Off” singer’s connection to the Chiefs.
“The most successful woman on Earth right now happens to be dating the greatest tight end of all time who’s on the current dynasty. Why’s everybody so mad about it?” the NFL punter-turned-media mogul said on The Pat McAfee Show. “I’m sick of people being mad about it. What are we even talking about? … I don’t fully understand it. Now, at the beginning, I could see it. ‘Oh, she’s releasing a movie. Oh, he’s in 14 commercials? Oh, we’re getting worked right now?’… but did you see them after the game yesterday? They’re in actual love! I’m so happy the world got to see that.”
Not to be outdone, Cowherd was also top of the pops.
“There’s a lot of really weird, lonely, insecure men out there,” the Fox Sports Radio host said on Tuesday’s episode of The Herd. “The fact that a pop star — the world’s biggest pop star — is dating a star tight end who had one of his greatest games ever, and the network puts them on the air briefly, then it bothers you, what does that say about your life?”
Travis and Taylor have some well-heeled defenders and conspiracy theorists and apparently hard-core NFL fans will feel the wrath of two of the most watched anchors in the country.
