She ain't wrong. Noone is watching sports to see white bread on mayo trying to look appealing. It's annoying when it happens in football with wags too.

omg Taylor is a wag!

get her out for brunch, Colleen, your time is now!!

I don't care, I don't like Taylor Swift, but it's HILARIOUS how mad it makes football fans. They immediately become super emotional when commentators talk about her being there during a game.

It's not Taylor's fault, because I member when it was Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo, even if these football fans don't.

Not to defend…big football? But the Jessica Simpson stuff was taaaaame compared to Taylor. And it was mostly post game because social media and social media instant gratification wasn’t a thing then.

Plus Taylor knows exactly what she’s doing. We have learned through her relationship with Joe that she knows how to be low key and she is not doing that now.

I should follow up to myself that the backlash wasn’t tame. The fact that they blamed Jessica for his poor performance was shit.

Her fans are crazy af. Your girl won guys, she won. Let people have whatever opinions on her without losing your goddamn mind.

[zibbydoo324]

It really is amazing that she always wins but her fans act like she’s an underdog. She has taught them all too well. 🥹

[wirepatch]

all too well

oop!

This narrative makes me laugh. They show Taylor for an accumulative ~1 minute over a 3 hour game in between plays and people act like it’s somehow ruining their watching experience.

[swoon_song]

In a game with a million stoppages at that...

[mhfromnh]

ain't that the fucking truth. it drags on for hoooouuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrssssssss

[corrykennedy]

they also changed their social media to pics of taylor and i think there were a lot of mentions during the games. they wanted to play her music at the stadiums too but her team wouldn't license it

[progression]

I know that it must be annoying as hell to watch one thing, but have to listen to the commentary about another. Like imagine you’re watching RPDR and they start talking about basketball stats because one of the queens is fucking LeBron or smth.

BUT. As someone who doesn’t like Swift or football, it is HILARIOUS to see straight men practically shedding tears over any mention of Swift. Men are so emotional, lols.

[willardwright]

I love this analogy

[sashwizzled]

My immediate response was, that would be hilarious...and then I realised how annoying it would get almost immediately.

[sorryeden]

That's a good comparison. It's like the sports commentators lose focuses or goes off topics.
