00:00Taylor Swift slammed as out of touch and tone deaf for saying Travis Kelsey puts his life on the line in NFL, he follows a ball around for money.
00:09Fresh from being slammed as greedy and toxic for selling multiple versions of her underwhelming The Life of a Showgirl album, Taylor Swift has come under fire yet again.
00:18This time, the 35-year-old anti-hero hitmaker is facing backlash for a comment she made about fiancĂŠ Travis Kelsey on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, as many fans thought it was extremely tone deaf.
00:28The cruel summer singer appeared on the show on October 6th, where they discussed her engagement, BFF Selena Gomez's wedding, and Super Bowl rumors.
00:38Despite speculation, Taylor won't perform at the 2026 halftime show, with Bad Bunny selected instead.
00:44She explained that while Jay-Z's team had approached hers about performing, she declined because I am in love with a guy who does that sport on that actual field.
00:51The Shake It Off singer then described football in dramatic terms, saying,
00:55That is violent chess. That is gladiators without swords. That is dangerous. The whole season I am locked in on what that man is doing on the field.
01:05She added,
01:05Can you imagine if he's out there every single week putting his life on the line, doing this very dangerous, very high-pressure, high-intensity sport, and I'm like, I wonder what my choreo should be?
01:16This life on the line comment sparked intense criticism online.
01:21Social media users mocked her comparison, with one saying,
01:24He follows a ball around for money. He's not a first responder.
01:28Another critic wrote,
01:29Putting his life on the line?
01:31Ma'am, he's getting paid millions to play a game he loves, and you're getting paid millions to sing and dance.
01:37Others compared her words to disrespect toward actual dangerous professions, with someone commenting,
01:43Meanwhile, firefighters, police, defense force are like, wow.
01:47Many called her out of touch and criticized her for dramatizing professional football as life-threatening.
01:53She's so out of touch, it's embarrassing.
01:55One comment summed up the general sentiment toward her remarks.
