I'm a card-carrying Swiftie but I'm also a lifelong football fanatic. Watching sports media maniacally try to capitalize on the cultural power of Taylor Swift and her female fanbase is the definition of cringe.
I happen to care very much about two of those things: football and Taylor Swift. Well, and tangentially Travis Kelce, I suppose, because he doesn’t happen to be the best in the league at his position on the defending Super Bowl champion team, and once helped my fantasy team win more than a few games. He’s not really my type, but that’s not wherein my beef lies.
In fact, being a longtime superfan of either or both Taylor and the NFL has sometimes been fraught. I’m in my 40s and have been down with Taylor since she burst onto the scene with her first album,, aka “Debut” to Swifties. It was most certainly not always cool to be a grown woman loving all things Taylor. Ask younger fans who “grew up” with her music and they’ll tell you it wasn’t always looked highly upon for them either.
It was as if women had discovered football for the first time when Taylor attended a game.Of course, there were a lot of angry men firing off missives about how she and her fans were ruining the game, nay, the sport of football. Perhaps one of the most vomit and anger-inducing comments of that ilk was Big Cat of Barstool Sports who basically said he could handle this sort of publicity if he could see a sex tape.
The game’s commentators, Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth, couldn’t have sounded more embarrassing as they worked in Taylor Swift references that even a casual fan might find corny, let alone a true Swiftie. That’s not to mention every other sports media outlet punning it up all over the place for the past two weeks.I dare anyone on that production team to sing me two full lines from “Cornelia Street” or tell me when it was played as a surprise song.
