Kelly Staffordthe wife of the defender “Los Angeles Rams” Matthew Stafford, tired of the obsessive coverage Taylor Swift during 2023 NFL season. Yet on Thursday, she paid homage to the world’s biggest pop star with her Halloween costume.

The entire Stafford family directly contradicted the previous criticism of the matriarch…

Swift, of course, faces Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. NBC, CBS, Fox and ESPN drew a lot of criticism for how often they showed it in the crowd during games in Kansas City last year. All four nets frequently go to Swift’s set after touchdowns and big plays.

Stafford understands why the NFL is paying so much attention to T-Swizzle, but she, like many NFL fans, is sick of hearing about it because the focus on the celebrity has shifted away from the play on the field. The 34-year-old former Georgia cheerleader admitted on her podcast, The morning afterthat it also made her jealous.

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, I may have let jealousy get the better of me.

Stafford made it very clear that her disappointment had nothing to do with the musician herself.

Now, I never once said I didn’t like Taylor Swift – never. But I will say that I’m a little weary of the Chiefs’ coverage of this — the NFL’s coverage, really — of this promising relationship last year. And can she do anything about it? No, she can’t.

The coverage of Taylor Swift took the shine off the players a bit.

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.

Although Stafford’s comments are not What extraordinary compared to other hot takes, they are controversial. She is a big fan of Swift. The entire family, including the future Hall of Famer, are Swifties. Kelly and Matt took their four daughters to New Orleans on the Eras Tour.

Kelly also admitted that her tune changed a bit during NFL coverage of Swift.

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

The Stafford family loves Taylor Swift so much that they dressed up as the famous couple for Halloween. Kelly, Sawyer, Chandler, Hunter and Tyler left as Swift. Stafford dressed as Kelsey.

They crushed the suit. Kelly and Matt looked like this Travis and Taylor at the US Open.

However, the suit directly contradicts her previous comments.

Kelly Stafford was upset about the NFL’s focus on Taylor Swift. This distracted her husband and his teammates. It also diverted attention from her.

To turn right around and dress up as the very people she was criticizing just days ago, essentially doing the very thing she was so vocally against…Kelly is really jealous of Taylor!
