The leftist NFL may be smitten by culture icon Taylor Swift but not all football fans share its obsession with her and, in fact, many find her endlessly annoying.

The NFL is being hammered for taking part in Swifty-mania. The organization went so far as to change its Instagram bio, adding a Swift reference that read “Chiefs are 2-0 as swifties” before deleting the cringy line.

Fans noticed the “Swifties” line right below the NFL logo on Instagram Monday morning. It quickly became evident that many football fans were not enamored with the leftist singer and weren’t amused by the NFL fawning over her. By late Monday morning, the line was gone.

The league also posted a video of Swift on Sunday that was captioned, “The @chiefs are 2-0 with @taylorswift in attendance.”

Swift is reportedly dating the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and has attended two Chiefs games in a row.

The NFL was simply obsessed with Taylor Swift during the Chiefs-Jets game on Sunday, cutting to the pop singer in the stands a mind-blowing 17 times, according to The Athletic.

The NBC broadcast officially cut to Taylor Swift 17 different times during Sunday Night’s broadcast.

According to the Daily Mail, as soon as cameras spotted Swift in the stands, NBC anchor Mike Tirico declared, “‘Oh yeah, she’s here: Taylor is in the house,” before adding, “Hi Swifties, we’ll be with you all night.”

She cheered on the Chiefs inside a MetLife Stadium suite on Sunday and was joined by sports team owner Brittany Mahomes and Kelce’s mother Donna.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy was disgusted by the fixation on Swift. He accused the NFL of “simping” for her. He was far from alone on that claim. Many fans are asserting that Swift is destroying football with her presence.

This is nuts. The NFL is simping for Taylor.

Users on X were not impressed and many were just as disgusted as Portnoy was:

I don’t know if the NFL knows this, but their target audience doesn’t really care about Taylor Swift

The NFL’s coverage of this Taylor Swift thing is really making me hate Swift more than I even cared to before.

At some point marketing has to have some common sense, but that point is not today. The NFL Bio Reads “Chiefs are 2-0 as Swifties.”

In case anyone didn’t hear, Taylor Swift was at the game. And NBC made it r-e-a-l-l-y annoying. https://t.co/zkwMrODdWc

The broadcast is showing Taylor Swift immediately after the Chiefs score and she is hugging people to celebrate an ISIAH PACHECO touchdown. This is already getting ridiculous pic.twitter.com/wmz0aP17GX

The wall-to-wall coverage of Taylor Swift at this game is annoying AF. I don’t even like football and I agree it’s destroying football. Just enough.

NBC: cuts to Taylor Swift for some fucking reason

NBC with the quick cut to Taylor Swift, who clearly does not care about the interception, then immediate dump back to the game. great, thank you pic.twitter.com/7qN7mscPCi

Taylor Swift is making a mockery out of NFL games and Deion Sanders is turning the Colorado sideline into a destination for gangsta rappers. The spectacle of football is now bigger than the actual game. pic.twitter.com/edeLx5crMd

The Taylor Swift NFL media orgy is an obvious marketing ploy to interest young people in a dying sport that’s pushing transgender cheerleaders.
