Whoopi Goldberg Tells Chiefs Fans Blaming Taylor Swift for Travis Kelce’s Performance to “Grow up, y’all, Stop putting this on her, Your team is…see more
The Kansas City Chiefs are 3-0 so far this NFL season, but some fans are still disappointed with tight end Travis Kelce‘s performance at the Atlanta Falcons game Sunday (Sept. 22). With some of them finding a way to blame it on his superstar girlfriend, however, Whoopi Goldberg is speaking up in Taylor Swift‘s defense.
On the latest episode of The View Tuesday (Sept. 24), the talk show host cut right to the chase. “They apparently forgot that they won a Super Bowl last year with [Kelce], and [he and Swift] were just as tight then as they are now,” she said. “Grow up, y’all. Stop putting this on her. Your team is fine, your team is doing well. Shut up.”
Though Kelce indeed had a quiet game on Sunday night, notching four receptions for 30 yards and no touchdowns in a nail-biting finish against the Falcons, the Chiefs were still able to win 22-17. Swift was not in attendance at Mercedes-Benz Stadium Sunday, but she has been present at Kansas City’s first two home games of the season.
“She wasn’t even at the game,” pointed out cohost Sunny Hostin. “Is she supposed to play the game too? “I also love how we’re acting like Taylor Swift is like a magic 8 ball,” added cohost Alyssa Farah. “She can’t magically affect his game.”
The Sister Act star also shared her personal theory as to why Swift is experiencing backlash: her recent endorsement of
Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. “I’m blaming MAGA,” Goldberg said before subtly bringing up Republican opponent Donald Trump. “They’re mad that she is not supporting You Know Who.”
Despite the team insisting that Swift’s presence in the Chiefs universe has only been positive, Sunday’s game is hardly the first time football fans have pointed fingers her way. In January, retired Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre suggested that the 14-time Grammy winner would be seen as a “distraction” if Kansas City didn’t win this year’s Super Bowl (they did the following month), and the NFL received so much negativity for its inclusion of Swift in game-day coverage that the league made a statement defending itself last year.
