A dad, who is retired from the Army, says people who hate Taylor Swift “for existing” are bad models for little girls.

Since they began dating in mid-2023, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have supported each other’s careers: Kelce has attended Eras tour performances and Swift cheers from a stadium suite during Chiefs games.

Swifties have loved seeing Travis rocking out at her concerts, for instance, as in November 2023 when Swift tweaked a song lyric to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me” and later ran into his arms.

Swift’s presence at football games, however, has rattled some spectators who say she is featured in too many camera shots from her seat, which is distracting.

Robert People, a retired military journalist, author and father in Florida addressed Swift criticism in a TikTok video with more than 1 million views.
