It’s crystal clear Smith is all in on Swelce, and that much was evident by his passionate defense of the relationship during Wednesday’s First Take show, when he went to bat for the Midnights singer and said any criticism directed at her is utterly unfair.

And that criticism is especially unfair when fans and others bemoan cameras zooming in on her as she cheers and watches from a luxury box.

“She’s going to support a dude to show up at a football game and the camera’s on her, that ain’t her fault,” Smith shouted in his trademark indoor shouting voice. “Taylor Swift is that girl. Let’s show some respect!”

And to anyone suggesting or merely inferring that she attended Kelce’s games to generate attention for her Eras Tour?

Again, Smith’s not buying it. “It’s not like she used the games to bump up the concerts. Oh no! Those kids were going to her concerts whether the NFL was promoting her or not,” Smith exclaimed. “Taylor Swift is that girl. Let’s show some respect. She probably is gonna have a positive impact on Travis Kelce’s performance, OK? I’m not trying to disrespect Taylor Swift.”

Smith, who has never officially declared himself a Swiftie but has fawned over the “Anti-Hero” singer in the past despite being a self-proclaimed member of the Beyhive, got downright serious coming to Swift’s defense.
