'Don't complain to us': Swifties slam Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby after he claims to not like all the NFL talk about Taylor Swift
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift's presence in the NFL is once again drawing attention. This time, it is due to remarks made by Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby. In a recent podcast, Crosby expressed his discomfort with the extensive coverage Swift receives at NFL games, inducing wrath among the Swifties on the internet.
Swift recently made headlines when she shared a lighthearted video from a Las Vegas nightclub, where she was celebrating her boyfriend Travis Kelce's Super Bowl victory with the Kansas City Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers with a score of 25-22 in Super Bowl LVIII, prompting fans to shower the 'Lover' singer with praise.
On the other hand, conservative commentator Tomi Lahren, who has previously criticized Swift, voiced her support for the singer ahead of Super Bowl 2024. Lahren argued that the NFL is to blame for overexposing Swift and not the singer herself, labeling the league's actions as exploitation of her image and the game.

In an appearance on YouTuber Bradley Martyn's 'Raw Talk' podcast, Crosby discussed the singer's pervasive presence in NFL broadcasts. He said, "They push it hard, especially in the beginning of the year, that's all they talked about. Um..they still talk about it obviously, but I mean it is, Taylor Swift and it's the Super Bowl champ so it's like, I mean what else are they going to talk about? They're trying to get the views."
Crosby added, "It's a business at the end of the day so I'm not surprised by it, but yeah, as a football guy I would you know, I don't like seeing all they talk about is Taylor Swift. I'm like bro I want to watch the football game. But, there's no disrespect to her."
The controversy surrounding Swift's prominence in NFL coverage is not new.
