I am very disappointing that this remarkable couple is getting this hate just because it might “interfere with football”! If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all! I personally love football and Taylor, and I’m sure it would make a superb relationship.

I am rooting for chiefs because of Taylor swift. Ever since, I have been interested in watching football games. It really opened up my eyes to sports.

Everybody is making a huge deal about this. First off, they only show her a little bit and people are over-exaggerating the time they are showing her. Next, she is the most famous person in the world right now so of course they are going to her at a football game. Also, when other celebrities are at sports games they show them. People are only throwing shade at Taylor Swift because they are jealous of her beauty and talents.

I don’t care who she dates i’m more of a basketball person so I don’t see her on the TV when I watch it

Everyone hates on them when she shows up for a total of like 18 seconds out of a 3 hour game. They were both equally famous before and its not ruining the NFL, its creating more viewers which means they get more money to do other things to help all the teams.

I think they are cute together and we shouldn’t really have a say on if they should date or not because it’s their life and their choices.

Honestly for all the haters she just is shown for 3 SECONDS. It’s not like its 1 minute. A quote from Taylor Swift ” the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate”
