Did you have a problem with brief television cutaways of Mama Kelce sitting in her booth when Travis and Jason were squaring off in last year’s Super Bowl?
No? Then why are you losing your shit over Taylor Swift? This is true hysteria. There is nothing complex, clandestine, conspiratorial, sinister or threatening about this. Let me see if I can ‘splain this to you. Two attractive high-profile pop culture celebs have a thang. Happens all the time. They appear to be happy and to be very supportive of each other. Then why can’t you be happy for them? Or just ignore them, if you’d prefer?
Music is entertainment.
Sports is entertainment.
Television is entertainment.
Celebrity relationships have always been in the entertainment spotlight.
Sports celebrity relationships have always drawn cameras.
If any of the following sports wives/girlfriends are in attendance at their guys’ games, you’re gonna see ‘em. You expect to see them. Cutaways of them would be conspicuous by their absence. This includes or has included:
Victoria Beckham (David Beckham)
Ciara (Russell Wilson)
Holly Robinson Peete (Rodney Peete)
Gisele Bundschen (Duh)
Olivia Culpo (Christian McCaffrey, preceded by Danny Amendola)
Hailee Steinfeld (Josh Allen)
Simone Biles (Jonathan Owens)
Jessica Simpson (Tony Romo)
Kate Upton (Justin Verlander)
Eva Longoria (Tony Parker)
Olivia Munn and Danica Patrick (Aaron Rodgers)
And this isn’t new. I’ve been a Cowboy fan for a LONG time. And believe it or not, I was once a teenager with a fully functional endocrine system.
You know, those three seasons of Joey Heatherton shots didn’t exactly offend me.
You know what was a big deal? Rams QB Bob Waterfield and bombshell actress Jane Russell. BACK IN THE 1940s!
And you’ve probably heard something about Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe.
Here’s quick list of all the things Swift and Kelce are NOT about:
Politics
Culture wars
Trump
Biden
LGBTQ rights
Barbie
Pentagon PsyOps
Veganism
A concocted match-made NFL marketing plot (The league is doing just fine, thanks.)
Gold-digging women. (You do realize that Swift could buy and sell Kelce, don’t you? Same was true of Giselle and Tommy.)
TV is a business. It’s about attracting eyeballs. Any television producer/director who DIDN’T show occasional (and they have actually been very limited in number) shots of Taylor rooting for her guy would be fired for gross incompetence. It’s your JOB!
Being an old guy, I just recently learned what the acronym SMH stands for.
Yes, I am Shaking My Head.
Bless your little hearts…
