David Letterman is officially telling Taylor Swift haters to leave her alone. Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs attracted a lot of attention and controversy.
Swift’s frequent appearances at various NFL games to support Kelce frequently make headlines. Combine that with Swift at the top of her career with her Eras Tour, and you have a media sensation with fans and haters on both sides.
Now, Letterman is also doing his part. The comedian noted that Swift defies categorization in many ways. She exists in a completely different group than other musicians.
“Taylor Swift, I don’t think in the history of show business, in the history of popular culture, we’ve ever witnessed anything like this,” Letterman said in an Instagram video. He captioned the video as “Dave is Team Taylor.”
David Letterman reflects on controversy with Taylor Swift
Letterman praised Swift for bringing a lot of light to the world, amid uncertain times both domestically and globally. Showing off her quick wit, Letterman also jokingly referred to Kelce as Kelsey Grammar during his rant.
“We live in a world now where all we hear is nonsense and ugliness, and the nonsense can’t get any more absurd and the ugliness, God hopes it can’t get any uglier, but that’s all we hear,” he said. “That’s all we heard. So now, here’s Taylor Swift, who is a shining light of goodness in the world.”
Letterman doesn’t see how Swift’s attendance at football games can be a negative. If anything, according to Letterman, the pop singer is bringing together two different groups of fans who rarely interact. Letterman sees it as an all-around positive and a highlight for the sport.
It’s true that Swift and Kelce’s romance has given the NFL a narrative outside of its usual focus. After all, who doesn’t love two star-crossed lovers from different sides of the aisle? Well, probably a lot of angry Ravens fans, for example.
“I tell both sides, ‘This is such a beautiful thing. Shut up! It’s good for footballers. It’s good for Taylor Swift and it’s a positive, happy thing for the world,’” Letterman said. “Also, politically, Taylor Swift is a huge force and I think all she wants is for people to do the right thing. So God bless Taylor Swift and Kelsey Grammer.”
