ESPN's Stephen A. Smith Defends Taylor Swift Amid NFL Fans' Criticism

Revealed: The Secrets our Clients Used to Earn $3 Billion

“I see these kids, they absolutely love her,” he continued. “She did her job. She’s going to support her dude to show up at a football game and the camera is on her—that ain’t her fault.”

Smith included that the “Karma” vocalist’s looks at 9 video games up until now this season have not favorably impacted her own profession when it concerns ticket sales.

“She went to the games after the concerts,” he stated (the preliminary United States leg of the Eras Tour ended last August, however the phenomenon will return in October). “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.”

And while Smith got some flack from his fellow First Take hosts for attempting to secure free tickets from the “Bejeweled” vocalist, he doubled down.

“Taylor Swift is that girl,” he ended up. “Let’s show some respect. She’s probably going to have a positive impact on Travis Kelce’s performance.”
