And in the episode of Who Vs Taylor Swift, a CNN reporter has joined the drama (if this is one). Here is what he had to say about the Time’s Person of the Year.

Blunt Comment On Live Television
Taylor Swift has found her Love Story recently with Travis Kelce, Chief player, both of whom have been dating publically since September last year. Initially, she was bashed even for this people calling the relationship a farce for publicity reasons which subsided after she started showing up for Kevin’s games.
However, the bad talks didn’t stop there, some fans have called out on Taylor for being a distraction and the reason for Kevin’s underperformance this season and the losses of Chiefs games. These comments are founded on no sound reason but well “the players gonna play, play, play, play, play And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.”
Taylor’s involvement with the game has made not only news media outlets like Fox, ESPN, CBS but also serious media houses like CNN give more risque statements. Harry Enten, a die-hard Bills fan (in the words of CNN) remarked, “I will note the Bills have already beaten the Chiefs in Kansas City when Taylor Swift showed up.

While the statement can be seen as a rant from a die-hard passionate fan, but wishing tears upon someone surely borders on crassness. The NFC divisional playoff game featuring Kansas’ Chiefs and Buffalo’s Bills will be played on Sunday, only which shall tell if the reporter’s prediction would come to fruition.

Not The Only NFL-Taylor drama
This series of fans and reporters going back and forth with their opinions on Taylor’s involvement with the NFL has been going on for a while now. In the past an NFL host Kyle Brandt had made inappropriate statements about Taylor having more in common with the Bills quarterback, Josh Allen, than with her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Others have been supportive of Taylor, saying how she has helped bridge gaps between fathers and daughters. An X user said how he felt bad for the ‘Chads, Brads, and Angry Dads’ who were bashing Taylor because he felt overjoyed sharing the TV screen with his fourteen-year-old daughter.
I actually feel bad for the Brads, Chads and Angry Dads who spent the year complaining about Taylor Swift interrupting their football because I spent the season trading Swift/Kelce memes with my 14-year-old daughter (who previously didn't care about football) and now it's like a… https://t.co/re4UHwvKE2
