Minnesota quarterback Cole Kramer's fiancée has dismissed her comparisons to Taylor Swift after she went viral at her partner's recent game against Bowling Green.
During ESPN's coverage of Minnesota's 30-24 win Tuesday night, as Kramer led the Golden Gophers to victory, the cameras repeatedly focused on Katie Miller.
This led to some inevitable comparisons to Taylor Swift, who attended several Kansas City Chiefs NFL games this season cheering on her new boyfriend Travis Kelce.
In an interview with People about her new family, Miller downplayed her comparisons to the singer.
“It’s a little difficult, but I’ll take it,” she said. “I never expected that I would be at the game so much, but at the end of the day I was just thrilled to be there and support Cole and the rest of the team in their victory.”

“While I think the Taylor Swift comparison is a bit of a stretch, as someone who shed tears of joy when he saw Taylor on the Eras Tour earlier this year, I'll accept it.”
Fans watching the game took to social media to discuss how much airtime Miller was getting just by being in the stadium.
“One thing about that [Quick] “Lane Bowl means you will know Cole Kramer and Katie Miller are getting married,” media personality Mike Golic Jr. said on social media.
“Jesus Christ, just change the name of the game to the Katie Miller Bowl already,” said one user on X.
Another social media user posted a GIF from the movie “Dumb & Dumber” of Jim Carrey's character Lloyd Christmas with the words “I don't care!” in reference to the coverage of Miller.
“We need to start buying Katie Miller gifts from her list,” another fan said on X.
'[Over/Under] How many times is Katie Miller mentioned in Q4? “I’ll set the limit at 9.5 and take the over,” predicted another fan.
Kramer finished the game with just 26 passing yards, which is pretty low for a starting quarterback despite the Golden Gophers' win.
Miller and Kramer have been engaged since May 2022 and will marry in February.
Miller is a nurse and has been publicly dating Kramer since April 2021, when she posted the first picture of the two together as a couple on Instagram.
