Former NFL running back Tiki Barber has claimed that the league's “obsession” with Taylor Swift around Kansas City Chiefs games is becoming “unnerving.”
Swift has attended about a dozen games for his friend Travis Kelce's Chiefs since late September, including Sunday's big playoff win against the Buffalo Bills.
The pop sensation's mainstream popularity makes it difficult for cameras to stay away from her during games, even when Kelce isn't involved in the action on the field.
Cameras panning into the hospitality rooms to capture Swift's reactions are beginning to anger some spectators, such as former Giants star Barber, who wants the focus to be solely on the field.
“He scores a touchdown and they immediately pan to Taylor Swift,” Barber said on WFAN.
Taylor Swift's attendance at NFL games to support Travis Kelce is still dividing opinion in football
Barber, a former NFL running back, said the league's obsession with Swift is “starting to get annoying”
'Again? It's not even Travis Kelce. “Maybe it's the influence of Taylor Swift that made me, I don't want to say upset, but also a little upset with the Kansas City Chiefs.”
“It’s also because they’re always here,” Barber continued.
“After being somewhere for so long and having the success that they’ve had, it becomes inevitable.”
“Why do you keep showing Taylor Swift? The obsession becomes annoying. Why do we have to see them?'
Those wishing for Swift's airtime to come to an end will be rooting for the Ravens in Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Chiefs.
Should Kelce eliminate Lamar Jackson's team, there will be a heavy dose of Swift in the Super Bowl coverage, even if she won't play a down.
Her presence at Sunday's game in Buffalo was evident, although she was overshadowed by Jason Kelce.
The Philadelphia Eagles were at the game, his team had already been eliminated, and he was seen drinking beer with fans at the Bills' tailgate and jumping shirtless out of a luxury box to drink a beer.
Swift has been publicly dating Kelce since September, attracting a lot of mainstream attention
Swift has been close to Brittany Mahomes and the Kelce family since she began dating Travis
At one point, Jason even picked up a young female fan to greet Swift from the distance.
Swift and Jason Kelce were in the same luxury suite with other Kelce family members Brittany Mahomes and Cara Delevingne.
After Travis Kelce's first touchdown against Buffalo, he pointed to her and his family in the luxury box and made a heart gesture with his hands.
Swift's entry into the NFL community was met with mixed reviews.
While it has undoubtedly led to an explosion of younger and female fans for the sport, some have criticized the impact it has had on the Chiefs and Kelce.
The Chiefs started the season 6-1, but lost five of their next eight games and lost home-field advantage in the postseason.
Kansas City has won its last four games, including two playoff games, both with Swift in attendance.
