Awkward moment Ravens fans shout abuse at Taylor Swift for ‘ruining the NFL’ as she walked through the Maryland stadium to the afterparty before she slings back a retort: ‘I didn’t do anything’
Taylor clapped back at furious Ravens fans who abused her at the M&T Bank Stadium with a call of: ‘You’ve ruined the NFL!’
The music icon was attending her 12th Chiefs games of season to watch her boyfriend tight end Travis Kelce put in another storming performance alongside quarterback Patrick Mahomes to drag their team to the Super Bowl.
Swift just shook off the insult, telling the fans: ‘I didn’t do anything,’ as she walked to an afterparty alongside her new best friend, Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, who also knows a thing or two about attracting abuse from rabid NFL fans.
The popular NFL Memes X account begged quarterback Lamar Jackson to ‘save them from a Swift Super Bowl.’
It was back in October when an NFL official stressed that Swift and Kelce’s relationship had not been orchestrated by the league.
But the sport providing the backdrop, and its TV partners, have not been shy about trying to capitalize on the relationship and gain new fans, particularly members of Gen Z and more women.
Just yesterday, Swift appear to say ‘Go away’ to a TV camera as she was shown on the screen for the umpteenth time this season.

‘It was a perfect storm of pop culture and sports colliding in a really positive way, with two incredibly passionate fan bases merging together and interacting in ways that they hadn’t before. So for us, it’s fantastic,’ said Ian Trombetta, the NFL’s senior vice president of social, influencer and content marketing, in October.
‘Hopefully those — especially the young women — that have now gained an interest in not only Travis Kelce, but the NFL more broadly, can stay with us throughout the year and years to come,’ Trombetta said.
