LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent episode of 'The View', Whoopi Goldberg expressed bewilderment at the criticism directed towards Taylor Swift for attending her boyfriend Travis Kelce's football games.

According to page six, she questioned the vehement backlash, asking, "What are you so pissed about?" Goldberg wondered why men were fixating on such trivial matters when there are more pressing issues in the world to be angry about.

Sara Haines and Joy Behar's insights into NFL's history and therapy stigma

Co-host Sara Haines joined the conversation, offering her perspective on the NFL's historical exclusivity. Haines suggested that the discomfort surrounding Swift's presence may stem from the perception that the NFL was a "no girls allowed" space.

She highlighted Swift's financial prowess, fame, and influence as factors contributing to the discomfort experienced by some individuals witnessing her unconventional role.

Joy Behar initially empathized with those struggling with societal changes brought about by feminism but quickly shifted gears, urging them to seek therapy. Behar dismantled the notion that therapy is gendered, stating, "It is not about masculine [or] feminine; it is about your brain." She expressed pity for those resistant to therapy, asserting that seeking help is a step toward addressing their issues.



 

Sunny Hostin's take on Swift's critics and Taylor Swift's unfazed commitment

Sunny Hostin joined the discussion, describing the critics of Swift's attendance as a "weirdo group." She defended the idea that a brief glimpse of a celebrity supporting her partner should not be cause for concern or criticism.

The article also touches upon Taylor Swift's increased visibility at football games, particularly after the AFC Championship game where she joined in celebrating the victory on the field.

Swift, unfazed by the criticism, remains committed to supporting Kelce and is rumored to attend the Super Bowl despite her busy schedule.

Swift's response to the scrutiny in a Time's Person of the Year interview sheds light on her perspective. She expressed ignorance about when the camera captures her during games, asserting her sole focus is on supporting Travis Kelce rather than overshadowing the games or upsetting certain individuals.

The narrative concludes by highlighting an incident where Swift faced backlash during a Ravens game. A fan accused her of "ruining the NFL," prompting Swift to assert her innocence and emphasize her attendance is solely about supporting her boyfriend.
