Taylor Swift Pokes Fun at Critical 'Male Sports Fans' in Hyped Up New Heights Teaser

 

Her joke comes after Swift received backlash from football fans for being shown too many times on screen during NFL games


Taylor Swift joked in a teaser for her Aug. 13 appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast that, "If there’s one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces — it’s more of me”

Swift previously received backlash from football fans for being shown too many times on screen during NFL games, prompting the league to defend her appearance

Despite complaints, Swift has continued to show up to Kansas City Chiefs games to support her boyfriend, and Kelce has done the same for her tour shows


Taylor Swift is fearless when it comes to taking a playful swipe at "male sports fans."


The Grammy winner, 35, jokingly took aim at the demographic in a preview of her appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast — which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce — with a cheeky joke aimed at the diehard crowd.



“As we all know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast,” she said in a newly released teaser clip. “I think we all know that if there’s one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens — it’s more of me.”


Swift’s joke comes after she received backlash from football fans for being shown too many times on screen during games, prompting the NFL to step in and comment on the coverage. 


The league told PEOPLE in October 2023 that the move to feature Swift was a normal part of their strategy, saying that they have “seen an incredible amount of positivity around the sport" while featuring the singer-songwriter. They also noted that “the vast majority” of their content is still “focused on the game, our players and variety of other initiatives.”



The Athletic also conducted a survey to see whether NFL players thought the “Fortnight” singer’s appearances at Kelce’s games is good for the league, with the majority responding that they thought the "coverage that stemmed from it" was positive. 


However, one anonymous NFL athlete noted that he felt that Swift being shown in the leagues’ season-opener video “five times” while their “quarterback was featured none," was not “right” since she wasn’t in the NFL.

Simone Biles and Riley Gaines Clash Over Transgender Participation in Women’s Sports A heated exchange has erupted between gymnast Simone Biles and swimmer Riley Gaines over the contentious issue of transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.

Gaines implied that the team’s success was due to a transgender player, writing: “To be expected when your star player is a boy.” The post triggered speculation online about the identity of the supposed transgender athlete.
