San Francisco 49ers’ RB Christian McCaffrey was caught in the mid-fire when asked if he’s going to shun Taylor Swift’s music. However, McCaffrey chose to avert the topic by refusing to comment on his stance regarding Swift’s music. The running back also delved into his motivations for joining football and how he comes from a family that’s all dipped their toes into sports. Now, ahead of the Super Bowl LVIII, there’s a new update on McCaffrey and his family’s Taylor Swift appreciation.

Why is Taylor Swift banned from the McCaffrey House for 11 days?

In the ‘Your Mom‘ podcast, Lisa McCaffrey jokingly said that she refuses to listen to any Taylor Swift songs until the Super Bowl ends, despite being a Swiftie herself. She also expressed her support for Swift’s relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, but will staunchly support the 49ers in any way possible. “I love her. I love the relationship. But yep, we are boycotting any T-Swift songs.”

Christian McCaffrey was put in a difficult spot when asked if he would follow in his mother’s footsteps. The RB defended his mother by stating that she is a massive fan of the pop star herself and that she even has a painting of the singer in the house. But later, he chose to concede by saying, “No comments.”  After this lighthearted start to the interview, McCaffrey opened up about his switch from the Carolina Panthers to San Francisco and his locker-room comradery with his fellow teammates, especially George Kittle.

Christian McCaffrey spilled the beans about Kittle, comparing him to ‘TMZ,’ owing to the tight end’s tendency to film randomly. He expressed that he was welcomed into his new team “with open arms” and feels “extremely lucky” to be a part of the 49ers.
