Seth Meyers<\/strong><\/a> really doesn\u2019t understand how NFL fans can passionately hate the NFL\u2019s game day coverage of Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor all the people who complain about shots of Taylor Swift dancing and having fun during games, why? Why are you so mad?\u201d Meyers, 50, quipped during the Wednesday, January 31, episode of his Late Night With Seth Meyers <\/i><\/a>talk show. \u201cI love football, but there\u2019s 11 minutes of actual gameplay [shown on the broadcast].\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cWhat would you rather look at: shots of [Kansas City Chiefs coach] Andy Reid<\/strong>\u2019s mustache freezing? Well, good news, you get both!\u201d<\/p>\n

Meyers was referring to the Chiefs\u2019 AFC Wild Card game in January against the Miami Dolphins. \u201cTaylor was at that game [too] and that\u2019s when I knew it was for real,\u201d he joked. \u201cWhen this woman went to Kansas City in January when it was minus f\u2014king 27 [degrees] with a wind chill because you know where else Taylor Swift could have been? Anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tGetty Images (3) Many professional athletes do not agree with the \u201cdads, Brads and Chads\u201d hating on Taylor Swift\u2019s attendance at NFL games. Swift has been a fixture at boyfriend Travis Kelce\u2019s Kansas City Chiefs games since September 2023, with the NFL occasionally showing her on the Jumbotron and on the broadcast when Kelce has [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Meyers further pointed out that Swift, whom he called \u201cone of our greatest national treasures,\u201d is dating \u201ca guy named f\u2014king Travis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is such an innocent All-American thing<\/a>: They\u2019re kissing on the field after he wins the big game and she\u2019s celebrating with his mom and dancing along with family,\u201d the talk show host added. \u201cHow can you be mad at that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Swift, 34, has been a proud member<\/a> of Chiefs Kingdom since September 2023 in support of boyfriend Travis Kelce<\/strong>, a tight end for the team, whom she started dating the previous summer. Swift has attended 12 of Kelce\u2019s football games, where she\u2019s occasionally been shown on the Jumbotron and on camera. The coverage outraged several sports fans, who claimed that the pop star is prioritized onscreen over the actual game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how they know what suite I\u2019m in. There\u2019s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don\u2019t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m being shown 17 times or once,\u201d Swift told TIME<\/i> in a December 2023 profile. \u201cI\u2019m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I\u2019m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce are all anyone can talk about. Swift and Kelce were first linked in July 2023 when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared he attempted to ask Swift out after attending her Eras Tour. \u201cI was a little butthurt I didn\u2019t get to hand her one of the bracelets I [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While football games typically air for three hours on TV, less than 20 minutes are devoted exclusively to the game as the camera often cuts to shots of fans in the stands, play reviews, expert commentary, sideline footage of the coaches and commercials. Sportscaster Colin Cowherd<\/strong> noted in January that the \u201c18 minutes of actual football\u201d<\/a> lasts the same length as five of Swift\u2019s songs.<\/p>\n
