Whoopi Goldberg<\/b><\/a> and her <\/span>The View<\/span><\/i><\/a> cohosts slammed critics who blamed <\/span>Taylor Swift<\/b><\/a> for boyfriend <\/span>Travis Kelce<\/b><\/a>\u2019s performance on the field during the current football season.<\/p>\n While the Kansas City Chiefs have won all three of their games so far this season, many fans slammed Travis, 34, for his performance while playing against the Atlanta Falcons on September 22. Many critics have gone so far to blame Taylor, 34, for the way he\u2019s been playing, which led Whoopi, 68, to bring up the claims during the Tuesday, September 24, episode of The View.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThey apparently forgot that they won a Super Bowl last year with [Travis], and [he and Taylor] were just as tight then as they are now,\u201d Whoopi pointed out to critics about the 2024 championship game, which Taylor attended. \u201cGrow up, y\u2019all. Stop putting this on her. Your team is fine, your team is doing well. Shut up.\u201d<\/p>\n Cohost Sunny Hostin<\/strong> then pointed out that Taylor \u201cwasn\u2019t even at\u201d the recent game, adding, \u201cIs she supposed to play the game too?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI also love how we\u2019re acting like Taylor Swift is like a magic 8 ball,\u201d cohost Alyssa Farah<\/strong> chimed in. \u201cShe can\u2019t magically affect his game.\u201d<\/p>\n Not only did Travis\u2019 performance cause concern during the latest game, but photos of him looking upset<\/a> on the sidelines went viral.<\/p>\n Taylor and Travis confirmed their romance in September 2023 when she attended her first Chiefs game, and she\u2019s continued to cheer Travis on at many of his games. While many fans love seeing Taylor in a suite throughout the games, others have slammed the \u201cEnchanted\u201d singer for taking too much attention away from the football players.<\/p>\n Neither Taylor nor Travis have revealed why she skipped his latest game, though a source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> that she felt uncomfortable<\/a> amid the backlash she\u2019s faced for her appearances. Her critics became even more upset when the NFL ran a 30-second promo that included four videos of her cheering for Travis during their first season as a couple.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s only natural the NFL wants her in this promo, she\u2019s bringing in so many fans and this is a business, of course they want to use her to promote,\u201d the insider exclusively dished to Life & Style<\/em> in an article published on September 20. \u201cBut there are some people in the organization that are grumbling that it takes away from the team, and obviously the die-hard fans aren\u2019t too happy either and they\u2019re making their voices heard, which makes Taylor feel uneasy.\u201d<\/p>\n The source insisted that the \u201cWhite Horse\u201d singer didn\u2019t \u201cwant to upset anybody in any way,\u201d adding that \u201cshe\u2019s just a very excited and supportive girlfriend and when the NFL approached her, she didn\u2019t think twice about lending her support.\u201d<\/p>\n Taylor previously addressed the criticism<\/span><\/a> when she was named <\/span>Time\u2019<\/span><\/i>s Person of the Year in December 2023. \u201cI\u2019m<\/span> there to support Travis<\/span><\/a>,\u201d she told the outlet at the time. \u201cI have no awareness of if I\u2019m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
