The much-anticipated return of the NFL is right around the corner, and with the start of football season, the Taylor Swift discourse has once again reared its head. This week, fans expressed their displeasure over Swift’s multiple appearances in a promo video for the upcoming 2024 season, which was released on the official NFL Twitter account.
The topic was discussed on Wednesday morning’s CBS Mornings show, where former NFL wide receiver turned media personality, Nate Burleson, did not hold back his feelings towards fans who are still complaining about Swift’s presence. In a fiery rant, Burleson mocked those upset fans and made his strong distaste for the subject matter abundantly clear.
“Get out of your feelings,” Burleson exclaimed dramatically as he turned towards the camera. “Oh, are you upset? You’re a little mad because Taylor Swift is in the promo? Who cares! Wipe the drool off your tank top, put some pants on, and get out of your momma’s basement. I don’t understand what the big deal is. Every other sport can show celebrities at the game. We show Taylor Swift and you get in your feels! Man, get out of your feelings and watch the game.”
Burleson’s stance on the matter is crystal clear. However, despite his passionate remarks, it seems that the debate surrounding Swift’s presence in NFL promotions is far from over. It has become a tired narrative for most normal people, but like many worn-out storylines, it is unlikely to fade away anytime soon. So, gear up for another season filled with football action and continued questions about Taylor Swift’s involvement in NFL broadcasts.
