Taylor Swift is without a doubt the biggest name in the NFL right now. Her popularity has transcended any star player or team.
Whenever she makes a point to attend Kansas City Chiefs games to support Travis Kelce, an entire army of cameramen is assigned to capture the Grammy-winning artist. But for Bill Belichick, it became a bit too much during Monday Night Football.
The eight-time Super Bowl-winning head coach was a part of Manning Cast’s Monday Night Football coverage. The cast had just witnessed Kelce catch a pass from Patrick Mahomes and covered four yards.
Picking up a crucial first down in the dying seconds of the second quarter, Belichick wanted to see the replay. Instead, cameras panned to Taylor Swift clapping and cheering her boyfriend’s latest play. As soon as the broadcast shifted, Belichick let out a; “Ugghhh!”
When he noticed the cameras stayed on the musical artist, he continued to talk about Travis Kelce’s big game. But it was evident that Bill Belichick was not happy.

He wanted to see the replays and talk about Kelce’s plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. At least that is the job ESPN is paying him for.
But for the same ESPN to interrupt his incredible game insights and resorting to pop culture now and then was too much. The Manning brothers understood this and they too broke out into a sly smile.
Bill Belichick signed to be a part of the Manning Cast after not finding a head coaching job in the NFL this season. He will be covering Monday Night Football games with the Manning brothers.
Taylor Swift helping Travis Kelce return to his best
A few weeks ago, the entire footballing world was talking about one concerning bit of news. That of Kelce’s performances for the Kansas City Chiefs through their first three games. He looked like a shell of his former all-dominating self and was struggling with fitness.
That news spread so much that older brother Jason Kelce had a concerning look on his face when talking about it on their podcast New Heights. But since then, Taylor Swift took it upon herself to support her boyfriend. It was reported that she took time off from Eras Tour practices to rush to Kansas City and be there beside him.
The net result, was nearly 160 yards of offense over the past two games. That happens to be a massive leap over the 69 yards of offense from the first three games. He still has to find some way to become the Travis Kelce of old. But these strides show Taylor Swift’s presence is working for him.
