Kelly Clarkson, a singer and talk show host, got in trouble after saying that the NFL was talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship too much. There was a lot of talk about how sports and pop culture relate to each other after the American Idol winner held firm.
Clarkson said on her show that she didn’t like how the NFL was focusing on Swift’s attendance at Kansas City Chiefs games, where she cheers for her reported boyfriend, tight end Travis Kelce.
“Can we please just focus on the game?” Clarkson talked to. “It’s getting excessive.”
The jokey comment caused a huge uproar on social media, with Swift and Kelce fans supporting the NFL’s coverage. Some said Swift’s appearance makes more people aware of the NFL, while others agreed with Clarkson that the attention takes away from the game.
Clarkson responded to the criticism by making it clear that she wasn’t talking about Swift or Kelce. “I love Taylor, but football is what it’s all about,” she stated. “Let’s not forget why we’re watching.”
Clarkson’s fans praised how honest and calm she was when she talked about tough topics. Others continued to disagree, saying that Swift’s appearance would be good for the NFL.
This is not Clarkson’s first time getting involved in a pop culture argument. She’s known for being honest and funny when talking about tough subjects.
Clarkson didn’t care about the negative comments; she just focused on her talk show, where she mixes fun with serious topics.
The relationship between Swift and Kelce is still a hot topic, and Clarkson’s words have made it even more so. Some people love how sports and pop culture come together, while others agree with Clarkson that the NFL should put the game first.
Swift’s fans and the NFL like the crossover for now, while Clarkson stays true to her show and songs, never apologizing for who she is.
