Taylor Swift’s presence at the games received a lot of criticism. The appearance of the pop singer throughout the season sparked opinions from different groups. While some enjoyed seeing her in the stands at the Arrowhead stadium, others were skeptical.
The latest individual to comment on the matter was a player from the Niners, who believed that the influence of Taylor Swift has been beneficial for the league. He felt that the league was smart enough to capitalize on the presence of the pop singer. Speaking to the press on the opening night of the Super Bowl, the defensive lineman stated:
Controversies recently arose regarding the pop star’s attendance at the games. During the AFC Championship Game, she faced abusive chants from Baltimore Ravens fans. This wasn’t the first time she had been subjected to such treatment. She was often seen as a distraction for the players. Some even criticized the NFL for giving her too much importance, claiming it affected their focus on football.

Despite the criticisms, Taylor Swift ignored what others said about her. She responded to Ravens fans who accused her of “ruining” football.
Amidst all the backlash, Taylor Swift did receive support from multiple analysts. It started with Robert Griffin III, who argued that only genuine haters would consider their relationship fake. He shared a picture of Travis Kelce embracing Taylor Swift and mocked those who doubted their connection.
However, the most aggressive criticism came from veteran analyst Colin Cowherd. He strongly opposed those who claimed they wanted to focus solely on football and viewed Swift as a major distraction. Calling them insecure, the veteran stated:
Taylor Swift recently won her 13th and 14th Grammy Awards in her career. It remains to be seen if she will be a part of her first Super Bowl Ring.
