Adele has come forward as a staunch defender of Taylor Swift’s frequent appearances at NFL games, particularly during this season’s coverage that culminated with Super Bowl LVIII. Amid the season’s end, the “Easy on Me” singer took a moment during her February 10 concert to express her support for Swift, who has been an enthusiastic supporter of her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his team, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Adele’s declaration, “I think I want the Chiefs to win just because Taylor Swift goes for them,” not only showcased her backing for Swift’s involvement in the NFL but also served as a powerful rebuke to those who have criticized Swift’s presence at the games. Adele’s message was clear and unambiguous: “And to all of you complaining about Taylor being at the game, get a life.”
The Grammy-winning artist’s support for Swift highlights a broader trend of celebrities using their platforms to counteract negativity and stand up for fellow stars. Notables such as Charles Barkley, Stephen A. Smith, David Letterman, and Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes have all voiced their support for Swift’s passionate fandom. This collective backing underscores the importance of positivity and unity in the face of unwarranted criticism.
Moreover, Adele’s commentary reflects a sentiment echoed by sports enthusiasts and celebrities alike, including Drake. Known for his avid sports fandom—and the infamous “Drake Curse”—Drake also demonstrated support for Swift’s NFL involvement with his final Super Bowl LVIII bet.
As the football season wraps up and Taylor Swift’s appearances at NFL games draw to a close, Adele’s candid support serves as a reminder of the power of solidarity among high-profile figures. By advocating for Swift and encouraging detractors to “get a life,” Adele not only champions Swift’s right to enjoy and participate in the sporting world but also calls for a broader acceptance of celebrities engaging in public events without facing undue criticism.
