Ever since Taylor Swift began dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, she has become quite a big Chiefs fan, supporting the team throughout the season all the way to their Super Bowl LVIII championship. But after Travis Kelce just signed a big contract extension with the Chiefs to become the highest-paid player in the league, Swift’s fandom is now being criticized.
The NFL operates on a salary cap, meaning each team can only spend a limited amount of money on player contracts. So with Travis Kelce taking such a lucrative salary, that leaves a lot less money available to sign and pay other top players. Big Cat and PFT Commenter of Barstool Sports think that Taylor Swift could have done something about that.
During the most recent episode of their Pardon My Take podcast, Big Cat and PFT Commenter suggested that since Taylor Swift is a billionaire and he wouldn’t need money if they stay together long-term, she should have told Kelce to take a smaller contract to help the team.

“I’m just saying, he could take less money knowing that if he gets married to Taylor Swift, money will never be an issue for him,” Big Cat said.
“If Taylor Swift was as big of a Chiefs fan as she pretends to be on Sunday, she would realize for the good of the franchise that she would not do a prenup for Travis Kelce, therefore letting Travis Kelce sign great value contracts with the Chiefs and extending their championship window,” PFT Commenter said.
“It sounds like she hates the Chiefs,” he continued.
“If she was a true Chiefs fan, she would be like ‘Hey Travis, take the league minimum and let’s go win another championship,” Big Cat replied.
“It sounds like she’s only about her personal engagement ring and not a Super Bowl ring,” PFT Commenter said. “That’s what it sounds like to me.”
