One person who has single-handedly brought unwavering attention to the NFL is Taylor Swift. Travis Kelce’s girlfriend and billionaire pop star has turned the Swifties from concerts to football stadiums. However, there’s no love in some sections. Many football fans don’t like her. They simply hate her for the attention she gets. Now, someone has taken a stand for her.
The Hunger Games actress, Rachel Zegler, supported Swift and called out the haters. She called them cowards for hiding behind screens and said, “Because they can hide behind not having a face or a name that is accurate to them. It gives them what they think is power, but is really just cowardice. It’s so wild that you’re talking like that because you don’t know her.” That’s right.
Travis Kelce’s girlfriend has often been hated for her appearances at the football stadiums. Some people claim that the league shows her more on the jumbotron than the game itself. While it brings unparalleled popularity to the game, many hardcore fans don’t like this.

However, the Hollywood star had a different viewpoint altogether. She told the haters to have a life and work on improving their living standards. While advising them to focus on something else, she said, “You don’t know this person. Spend your time learning a craft. Touch some grass. Kiss a girl, do something.”
Despite the online hate, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are still going strong. They enjoyed their bye week together on the East Coast, which ended with a visit to an MLB game. But they have also followed one thing. Both of them don’t share many details about their romantic lives with the fans.

Fans troll Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole for her tweet
In April 2024, the pop star released her album, The Tortured Poets Department. A few days before the release, TE’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, made a very cryptic tweet that read, “There’s just no way I can fully digest all these new albums. I’m still on Cowboy Carter.” While she only talked about Beyonce’s album, Swifties thought she was taking shots at the billionaire. Then began a series of ‘online vitriol.‘

One fan called her a loser and commented, “Jealous any?? Move on. Nobody likes a loser.” Though there was nothing disrespectful about Taylor Swift in the tweet, Swifties weren’t convinced. Another fan referred to the song ‘That Girl‘ written by Travis Kelce’s girlfriend and wrote, “Taylor actually wrote a song for that girl. Haters gonna hate hate hate …”
This has continued ever since stars from entertainment and the football world have got together. Nicole often gets targeted. However, sooner or later, things might change for the better.
