While many are tired of the topic, Fox Sports personalities Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson expressed outrage at the outrage.

“We're not going to win this situation, but I actually heard Colin Cowherd go on and on about people saying, 'Taylor Swift is ruining the NFL.' No, she's not,” Andrews said on the “Calm Down” podcast.
“I have 35 million reasons why she didn't ruin the NFL,” Thompson chimed in. “So let's go ahead and check the books on that. Enough.”
Sunday's FOX broadcast of the matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions was the most-watched NFC Championship Game since 2012, while the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens were the most-watched AFC Championship Game of all time, according to The Associated Press.
While Swift often appeared on broadcasts at the beginning of her relationship with Kelce, her screen time seemed to decrease throughout the playoffs.
“Yesterday I sat down and heard someone say, 'I'm so tired of the NFL with this.' And I said, 'Why? How is it affecting your life? Why? What is it doing?'” Andrews said. . “Do you know that Colin, on his podcast or on TV or whatever, talked about it? Out of a three and a half hour game, she appears for 25 seconds.”

Andrews said he spoke with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Swift's impact on the league.
“You know what else he's doing? I sat down and talked to the commissioner about it, Roger Goodell, we were talking about it the night before the game,” Andrews said. “I'll mention the name. It's great. I talked to him about this. I have so many dads who say to me, 'Do you know how wonderful this is?' “Kyle Brandt talked about it on 'Good Morning Football.'”
“How bad is it now that we have young girls who want to watch the NFL?” Andrews added. “I think it's amazing. So calm down. Go away. If you don't want to see it, don't see it. How is it affecting your life?”
Andrews and Thompson expressed how much they enjoyed watching Swift and Kelce celebrate on the field after Kansas City won the AFC.

“It's not even about Taylor Swift” Thompson said. “It's about letting something be great. We live in a world with so much fucking negativity. And you turn on the news, it's negative, negative, negative. What are you doing? She makes this guy happy, she's having a great time and she's human.”
Both Thompson and Andrews said Swift's ability to attract girls to football was great for the NFL.
“I started watching the NFL because my dad watched football,” Thompson said. “So if other girls start watching the NFL because she's at the games, then good for them.
“Everyone else needs to find a hobby or do something different. Because that means you're just angry. And you're looking for something to be upset about.”
Kelce's bosses will face the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.
