BREAKING: Taylor Swift Banned From NFL Games Amid Travis Kelce Relationship?!
There were times last season when some very cantankerous NFL fans were calling for Taylor Swift to be banned from all league events.
They argued that the pop icon was ruining the game with her very presence, as she created a distraction that stole focus from events on the field.
As you’re likely aware, Taylor attended numerous Kansas City Chiefs games for the purpose of cheering on her boyfriend, tight end Travis Kelce.
The gripes were ridiculous, of course, but the NFL is the most dominant force on American television, and when enough fans complain, the powers that be tend to pay attention.

Has Taylor Swift Been Banned By the NFL?
But despite some surprisingly widespread rumors to the contrary, Taylor has not been banned by the league.
And it’s safe to say the NFL never even seriously considered such a move.
There are many reasons for this, the first and most obvious being that Taylor hasn’t done anything to merit such a punishment.

If you’ve ever been to a professional football game in America, you know that drunkenness and bad behavior are pretty widespread among fans.
Despite those circumstances, lifetime bans are exceedingly rare.
So if the league is hesitant to kick out fans who are actually creating problems, why would they remove Taylor simply because broadcast producers can’t stop themselves from turning their cameras toward her booth?
