Football season is officially back in full swing, which means the Kansas City Chiefs are once again playing to get to the Super Bowl, and Taylor Swift is back to attending games.
Ever since she entered into a relationship with the team’s tight end, Travis Kelce, in 2023, the Eras Tour star has been associated with the NFL, given that she is often filmed cheering on the Chiefs in a private suite alongside family and friends. Now that the buzzing couple are husband and wife, having tied the knot during a summertime wedding at Madison Square Garden, people have been excited to see Taylor supporting Travis as a proud wife.
This past Sunday, on September 19th, she showed off her pride and dedication to her husband’s team by attending the Chiefs game against the Colts, sitting in a private box suite with their friends and family. At one point in the exciting game, Travis scored his official first touchdown of the current NFL season, which, as seen in viral footage, prompted Taylor to jump up and down, cheer, and point to her wedding ring while exclaiming, “That’s my husband!”

NFL Fans Criticize Taylor As 'Obnoxious' On Social Media
Though she's become a notable figure at numerous NFL games, the "Fate of Ophelia" singer's presence at the games has become a rather controversial subject.
As the Kansas City Chiefs games have been on air since she first began attending them as Travis' girlfriend, both sports networks and the media team inside the stadiums alike have featured her on camera numerous times, letting audiences get a glimpse of her locking into the team. This has led to a wave of backlash from football fans and other social media users who feel as though she's being 'forced' onto their screens and taking away from the sport. This backlash continued after footage of her pointing to her diamond wedding rings went viral.
"I've never seen another player's wife do this," responded an X user. "Kind of obnoxious."
"Seriously?" asked another. "What does this have to do with football even remotely?"
"She is the reason no one likes the Chiefs; no one wants to see her," a user conspired, with an additional user calling the moment "very performative."
"Can't wait for Travis to retire so we never have to deal with her in the NFL," an NFL fan wrote, as another commented, "Love the Chiefs, but I watch to see the game, not a player's wife in the stands."
"Keep the cameras on the field," they continued. "No more Swift TV!"
