J.J. Watt says he “can’t understands” why Taylor Swift is causing “so much upset” during NFL games (Exclusive)
J.J. Watt is adamantly opposed to Taylor Swift’s impact on the NFL, despite some people’s outspoken objections. “I believe it’s excellent. While touting his collaboration with Dawn on Monday, January 29, Watt, 34, exclusively tells Us Weekly, “I don’t understand why people are so upset about it.” “I mean, they frequently feature famous people at games.” Act as though we don’t frequently include male celebrities at sporting events. I’m not sure why there is such a commotion around it. Swift, 34, and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce started dating in the summer of 2023.
Since then, the NFL has celebrated Swift’s connection to the sport by utilizing her music for promotions, punning about Kelce’s stats using references to her songs, and panned to her for reactions to Kelce’s on-field performances. “She’s literally there to support her significant other, and as a significant other, that’s what you should do,” Watt adds. “So, I believe it to be excellent.”
The former NFL player continues, saying that Swift has “brought in a massive amount of new fans” and “all sorts of eyeballs and interest” to the game. He observes that “so many people” who may not have paid attention before are now learning about the game. Watt states, “I think it should be nothing but celebrated.” “It’s just what it is, I don’t think it’s her fault they put the camera on her.”
Jo Koy made a joke about Swift during this month’s Golden Globes, which has created quite a fuss due to her regular attention at NFL games.
