Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle has come forward to defend Taylor Swift amidst the constant backlash she faces for attending NFL games to support her boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs star, Travis Kelce.
On Sunday, January 28, Swift was in attendance at the M&T Bank Stadium to witness the Chiefs, spearheaded by Kelce, win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship playoff game. The win meant that the team from Kansas would make their second consecutive journey to the Super Bowl. After the match, Taylor Swift came down from her suite to join Travis Kelce in celebrating on the field. The heartwarming moment was captured by the broadcasters’ cameras.
An affectionate interaction between Swift and Kelce, broadcasted on television and shared by sports pages on social media, triggered a wave of criticism from NFL fans. They accused the mega pop star of stealing the Kansas City Chiefs’ spotlight following their victory. Morgan Riddle, who is no stranger when it comes to dealing with criticism from tennis fans, took to social media to question the apparent disdain sports fans have towards women.
This prompted a fan to clarify that they do not harbor hatred towards Swift, but rather hate her presence in every social media post and live TV appearance, surpassing every other partner of Chiefs players. In response, Riddle shared a news article about Taylor Swift generating an astounding “brand value” of $331.5 million for both the Chiefs and the NFL since attending her first Kansas City Chiefs game on September 24 last year, up until January 22.
“Another day spent wondering why sports fans hate women so much,” Riddle captioned her Instagram story.
