David Letterman has come to the defense of Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, amidst criticism from disgruntled NFL fans. Kelce, a player for the Kansas City Chiefs, played a crucial role in securing his team’s spot in the Super Bowl after defeating the Baltimore Ravens on January 28. Swift, who was present at the game, shared a celebratory kiss with Kelce on the field.
Ahead of the victory, Letterman took to social media to express his admiration for the couple and to address those who were weary of the media coverage surrounding them. In a video clip, the talk show host humorously confused Kelce’s name with Frasier star Kelsey Grammer and praised Swift, highlighting her positive impact on the world amid a backdrop of negativity.

Letterman acknowledged the differing opinions, with football enthusiasts expressing disinterest in Swift’s involvement and Swift’s fans hesitating to embrace a football player in her life. However, Letterman urged both sides to appreciate the positivity of the situation, stating, “This is such a lovely thing, shut up! It’s good for the footballers. It’s good for Taylor Swift, and it’s something positive and happy for the world.”
He emphasized the significance of Swift’s positive influence and her desire to see people do the right thing, concluding with a blessing for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Following the Chiefs’ triumph, speculation arose about Swift attending the Super Bowl in Las Vegas the following month. However, her commitment to a Tokyo show the night before the game raised questions about her potential presence. Swift’s visible support for Kelce at Chiefs games since September has garnered widespread media attention and boosted jersey sales.
