Looks like the New England Patriots owner isn’t quite satisfied with the pop superstar Taylor Swift’s choice for her boyfriend. Robert Kraft recently voiced his thoughts on some potential dating options that the renowned singer could have considered instead of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. 

Only a few know this but Kraft has longstanding connections with the 14-time Grammy winner, long before she earned her prominence within the entertainment industry. He recognized her talent fifteen years ago and predicted a bright future for her. His words charmingly came true as the “Love Story” singer gathered close to a million Swifties at her recent Eras Tour stop in Melbourne, Australia.

Kraft recalled the time back in 2010 when he went on a playoff date with Swift on his birthday, to the Patriots-Chiefs games. He suggested that if the “Midnight” award-winning singer were to date a football player, it should have been Rob Gronkowski instead of her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

Of course, Kraft meant it as a joke as he said it with a smile on his face. He argued, in a clip that is doing the rounds on social media:

Think about it. She was like 18-19 and she's done pretty well since. Except maybe she should have been dating Gronk. He's better looking.

Kraft reminisced about his date with the pop sensation by giving her a framed ticket from the Patriots-Chiefs games back in 2010.

Robert Kraft praised how Taylor Swift boosted the NFL’s ratings and revenue

Regardless of his playoff comment, Kraft does not have any vendetta against the Chiefs’ tight end but for him, Swift comes first. While talking about her, the Patriots owner also praised her contribution towards the NFL, ever since she began attending the games. 

Kraft said:

I just think it's the quality of the product and the parity and what the NFL presents. Our ratings this year were the highest for about seven-eight years and you look at the playoff games, it was phenomenal.

He appreciated her impact in attracting diverse demographics to the NFL games, especially female audiences. He also highlighted that she even influenced the salary cap for the 2024 NFL offseason, as it saw an increase of $30 million.
