Taylor Swift has caught her fair share of flak for somehow being too involved in the NFL. The “Cardigan” singer has shown up to support her partner, Travis Kelce, during the Kansas City Chiefs’ games. Her appearances always catch a lot of attention from the cameras.
While some people might not be fans of the NFL’s coverage of Swift, Haley Kalil begs to differ. The popular influencer thinks that Swift’s appearances and coverage have helped to break major stereotypes within the sport.
Kalil spoke in an interview with People Magazine on Thursday and revealed herself to be a huge Swiftie. The influencer known as Haleyy Baylee online has praised Swift for influencing females to watch the NFL as well. She credited the 14-time Grammy-winning artist for helping to expand the female audience that had been quite low compared to the men.
“[Swift] just got women to see that this is a really fun sport to participate in,” Kalil said. “And it’s not a sport that’s only for men. That was just such a stereotype for the longest time.”
The Influencer Sees Taylor Swift On The NFL Cameras As A Reality Show
Taylor Swift’s appearances in the NFL have always been a talking point. Many fans have flocked to see her reactions to the game and have taken an interest in the NFL itself. Haley Kalil seems to be one of those fans who have kept up with Swift’s appearances during the Chiefs’ games.
The popular influencer believes the acclaimed pop artist’s coverage is more akin to a reality show. After all, you get to see one of the biggest pop stars in the world go through a range of emotions as we see her on the cameras. The Swifties are excited to see the drama unfold as well on their screens.
Kalil is a Swiftie herself and spoke about how happy she gets to see the pop artist cheer on in happiness. She gets the same feeling in return from seeing her idol as well.
“It’s almost like you get a reality show of Taylor without the show because you get to see her on camera at these NFL games, and we just like to see her happy. Swifties just want to see her happy,” Kalil said.
Many Have Criticized The Celebrity Coverage In The NFL
Even though Haley Kalil had a lot of praise for Taylor Swift’s influence in expanding the NFL’s audience, not everyone has been a fan of her coverage. Many NFL fans have complained about the constant celebrity coverage that has become a bit over the top over the past few years.
Even Skip Bayless has groaned about the situation as well. While the NFL could focus a bit more on the fans’ reactions as well, it’s safe to say that Swift brings a huge audience to the sport. Her influence is undeniable, and we’re happy to see her enjoying the game that unites thousands of fans.
