ESPN's Stephen A. Smith Defends Taylor Swift Attending Travis Kelce's NFL Games

The ESPN personality went on 'First Take' and argued why she's such a positive influence.

The ESPN personality on Wednesday came to Taylor Swift's defense against critics who say she's a distraction when she attends NFL games to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs. It's crystal clear Smith is all in on Swelce, and that much was evident by his passionate defense of the relationship during Wednesday's First Take show, when he went to bat for the Midnights singer and said any criticism directed at her is utterly unfair. Smith, who has never officially declared himself a Swiftie but has fawned over the "Anti-Hero" singer in the past despite being a self-proclaimed member of the Beyhive, got downright serious coming to Swift's defense.
