“If you’re screaming at T-Swift saying she ruined [football], you’re just a loser. You’re just a loser or a jack—,” he stated. “You can be A or B. One of the two.”

Sports commentator Bob Costas — who was a guest on the episode — agreed with Barkley, noting how the “Dress” songwriter has brought a whole new audience to football since going public with her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in September 2023.

“Look at all the new people she’s brought to the NFL. You see young teen girls who are now watching football for the first time,” King, 69, added.

Costas then theorized Swift’s presence at the Sunday, February 11, Super Bowl could boost ratings dramatically.

“The NFL reigns supreme — not only over sports — but over all of American entertainment. … It’s the only thing that consistently aggregates huge audiences,” the 71-year-old began.

“Like 90 of the top 100 rated television shows in a given year are football games — almost all of them NFL games. And so you would think they couldn’t improve on that, but now they’ve tapped into another demographic,” he explained.

Since the Grammy winner started making appearances at the NFL’s games, many sports fanatics have been angry with how much Swift was featured during the broadcasts.

In Swift’s Time interview, she explained how she had no control over the screen time she’s gotten.
