Chiefs' Justin Reid defends Taylor Swift: “I don't understand why she gets all the hate”


Taylor Swift's impending Super Bowl appearance will likely be a topic of conversation ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs-San Francisco 49ers game.

Chiefs defensive back Justin Reid admitted in a recent interview that he didn't see why so many people were upset with the coverage of Swift. He gave a glowing review of Travis Kelce's pop star girlfriend.

“She's very, very sweet,” Reid told TMZ Sports in a recent interview. “She found a way to congratulate everyone she talked to. I don't understand why she gets all the hate. She's an amazing person, an amazing artist all around.”

Swift joined the Chiefs on the field for the AFC Championship celebration. Kelce has had some of his best games of the season in the playoffs. He has three touchdown receptions and 17 receptions for 191 yards.

He opened up a bit more about his relationship with Swift in a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” When McAfee used the words “in love,” Kelce didn't deny it.

“It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?” she responded. “Hopefully everyone realizes that we're just two people in a relationship supporting each other and having fun, man. It's nothing more than that, and no matter how much the world wants to paint the picture and make us enemies, we just have fun with each other.” We enjoy every detail.”

There is a contingent of NFL fans who can't stand their relationship, arguing that football is tainted by the league's focus on Swift during broadcasts, among other things.

But Kelce and Swift are no strangers to detractors and haters. Swift has been dealing with this for quite some time as a global pop star, while Kelce and the Chiefs are arguably the most hated team in the NFL due to their success.

“She's dealt with that forever,” Kelce told McAfee of her haters. “We hear about it, but we hardly ever talk about it. It's nothing to talk about. Nothing to really mention.
