Matthew Stafford's wife Kelly admits she got 'jealous' of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's NFL coverage

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, appeared to walk back on a comment she made about the coverage surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce a few months back.  

In an episode of her 'The Morning After' podcast in May, the NFL WAG said she didn't "know if I want to see another four months of Taylor Swift Travis Kelce coverage. And if they win, we're gonna see them everywhere, and now it is what it is," which led to speculations of her having an issue with the pop star. 

Kelly Stafford argues NFL's coverage of Taylor Swift was 'outshining the games'

On the Thursday, October 31, episode of 'The Morning After' podcast, Kelly Stafford asserted, "I have never once said I didn’t like Taylor Swift — ever," as per People.

She continued, "But I will say I kind of got tired of the Chiefs’ coverage of it — actually the NFL’s coverage — of this budding relationship last year. And, can she do anything about that? No, she can’t. It was a good business decision for the NFL but I almost felt like it was outshining the games. And that’s what bothered me."

The 34-year-old even admitted to her co-host Hank Winchester that she "was a little jealous of the fact that they were getting all this attention and all of a sudden the football game was the sideshow. So yeah maybe I let jealousy get the best of me."

Stafford then went on to explain why she was not happy with all the media attention the pop sensation and her beau were receiving. She noted, "I watched my husband work his a** off and all of these guys who work for the league work their a**es off and all of a sudden they’re like the sideshow." 

Kelly Stafford says she and her daughters are fans of Taylor Swift

Though Kelly Stafford has had issues with the NFL coverage surrounding Taylor Swift, she is also a fan of hers and even attended the pop star's New Orleans Eras Tour concert last month with her family.

She shared, "I was a fan of hers when she was a country star because her and I are the same age so I grew up listening to her music."

Kelly also mentioned that she’s thankful to the ‘Cruel Summer’ singer for making her daughters — twins Sawyer and Chandler, 7, Hunter, 6, and Tyler, 4, — "love football more knowing that she’s adjacent to it."

"I honestly think my girls are prouder of their dad because he’s playing the sport that Taylor Swift loves," shared the mother of four, before adding, "I am so thankful for her in a lot of ways because there are so many more women watching, there are little girls watching with their dads."
