Kelly Stafford says she’s “tired” of attention on Taylor Swift at NFL games

Kelly Stafford rejects his first reaction The Taylor Swift effect.

On the last episode of her The morning after podcastwife of the Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford said she was “tired” of last season’s coverage of the pop superstar supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce seemingly eclipsed all other NFL narratives.

“I never said I didn’t like Taylor Swift — never,” Stafford told co-host Hank Winchester. “But I will say that I’m a little weary of the Chiefs’ coverage of this — the NFL’s coverage, actually — of this prospective relationship last year. And can she do anything about it? No, she can’t.”

Stafford, 34, continued: “It was a good business decision for the NFL, but I almost felt like it overshadowed the games. And that’s what worried me. I was a little jealous of the fact that they were getting so much attention and suddenly the football game was a sideshow. Yes, maybe I let jealousy get the better of me.”

With the media’s focus on Swift and Kelsey’s budding relationship last season, Stafford felt other players, including her husband, were left out.

“I’ve been watching my husband work and all these guys in the league work their jobs and all of a sudden they’re like a sideshow,” Stafford said.

So while the mother-of-four said she’s “always loved” Swift since they were the same age, and that she’s followed her career since she was an aspiring country artist, Stafford knew she could face “backlash” for what brought her family to the “Fortnight” singer’s Eras Tour concert last weekend in New Orleans.

On InstagramStafford shared a glimpse of the family weekend, which began with a private jet from Los Angeles to Nola. While on board, the girls — twins Sawyer and Chandler, 7, Hunter, 6, and Tyler, 4 — made friendship bracelets while their parents celebrated the experience.

Looking back now, Kelly said she appreciates Swift’s impact on the league — and on her family.

“I’m very grateful to her in a lot of ways because there are a lot more women who watch, there are little girls who watch with their daddies, and I think my girls love football more knowing that she’s connected to it. “, she said. said “Honestly, I think my girls are more proud of their dad because he plays a sport that Taylor Swift loves.”
