Whoopi Goldberg Defends Taylor Swift Amid Chiefs Fans Accusing Her Of Travis
Kelce’s “Slow Start” To NFL Season: “Your Team Is Doing Well, Shut Up!”
Whoopi Goldberg is not here for Taylor Swift’s vilification and defended the singer
amid the Kansas City Chiefs fans trying to blame her for Travis Kelce’s “slow start” to
the NFL season.
The View took to the “Hot Topics” table to debate some fans saying Swift is the
culprit of Kelce’s slowest start to the football season since his rookie season.
“Apparently they forgot that they won the Super Bowl last year with [Kelce] and
they were just as tight then as they are now,” Goldberg said.
The Chiefs have won all three games this season, but Kelce has only had eight
catches for 69 yards and zero touchdowns so far.
Swift attended Kelce’s first two games and skipped the latest game, in which the
Chiefs faced off against the Falcons, which ended with a score of 22-17.The View’s
resident Swiftie, Alyssa Farah Griffin, noted, “As I understand it, football is a team
sport, so just because [Kelce’s] not making touchdowns doesn’t mean he’s not
contributing to the success of the team. They’re currently undefeated this season,
and once again, just the classic blaming a woman.””This is a guy who’s doing
movies now, he’s doing television commercials, he’s doing all kinds of stuff,”
Goldberg said of Kelce. “He might have been a little busy, and maybe he’s not 12
anymore. He’s still a valuable player.”
Sunny Hostin agreed with Goldberg that the backlash stemmed from “the crazy
MAGA people.”
“Grow up yall,” Goldberg added. “Grow up! Stop putting this on her. Your team is
fine. Your team is doing well, shut up!”
Following the game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Chiefs QB Patrick
Mahomes addressed Kelce’s slow start.
“The respect factor [teams] have for Travis is just unreal. We’re calling a lot of plays
for Travis and it’s like two or three people are going to him,” Mahomes said,
according to “He understands. That’s the great thing about him, is he wants to
make an impact on the game, but he wants to win at the end of the day. I’m gonna
try my best to keep feeding him the ball whenever he’s there and whenever he’s
open.”
