00:00 "Is the NFL overdoing it? What is your honest opinion?"
00:02 Travis Kelce is speaking out about the NFL's coverage of Taylor Swift,
00:06 noting that it's getting to be too much.
00:08 The superstar made a surprise appearance at the Chiefs-Bears game two weeks ago,
00:12 with the Fox broadcast showing her laughing with Kelce's mom Donna and chest-bumping a
00:16 suite-mate after the Chiefs star scored a touchdown. This created a social media frenzy,
00:20 leading to dating rumors between the two.
00:22 When news leaked that Swift was preparing to attend this past weekend's Chiefs-Jets
00:26 game in New Jersey, NBC pivoted to a Taylor Swift-themed marketing campaign,
00:30 with her song "Welcome to New York" becoming the star of a commercial spot,
00:34 and Swift being frequently pictured in the suite alongside her famous A-list friends
00:39 like Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman, and Sophie Turner.
00:42 On a new episode of his New Heights podcast, Kelce and his co-host and brother Jason Kelce,
00:47 a star for the Philadelphia Eagles, agreed that it's all become a bit much.
00:51 "I think everybody's just like overwhelmed with…
00:54 What are your feelings for Taylor? What is your honest opinion on how the NFL
00:59 is treating celebrities at games?"
01:04 Travis noted, "I think it's fun when they show who all is at the game. I think it brings a
01:08 little bit more to the atmosphere, brings a little bit more to what you're watching."
01:11 "But at the same time I think…
01:12 They're overdoing it.
01:14 They're overdoing it a little bit, for sure, especially my situation."
01:17 The Chiefs star noted that when it comes to celebrities at the games,
01:20 from Swift to her suite-mates, they are not there to get thrown on TV.
01:24 "Basketball has it figured out. They're all courtside, they're sitting there,
01:27 they show them once or twice, but they get back to the game. NFL is like,
01:32 'Oh, look at all these A-list celebrities at the game! Keep showing them! Show them, show them!'"
