Former World No. 1 Martina Navratilova has come out in support of Taylor Swift after the pop icon faced allegations following her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s NFL loss.

Swift and Kelce have become the ‘it’ couple, being the topic of discussion in the NFL for the past couple of months. The ‘Love Story’ singer frequently attends her boyfriend’s games and Kelce returns the favor by attending her concerts.

On Christmas, Kelce’s team, the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, faced a 20-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium. The 34-year-old was also captured on camera slamming his helmet to the ground, clearly frustrated.

Following that, sports commentator Skip Bayless took to X (formerly Twitter) to call Taylor Swift’s presence in the stadium during Chiefs’ matches a “distraction.” He mentioned Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes, coach Andy Reid and tight end Travis Kelce himself in his tweet and wrote:

“Feels like it’s about time to call Taylor Swift a distraction. What do you think, Patrick? Andy? How about you, Travis?”

American actress Valerie Bertinelli gave a sarcastic yet strong reply to Bayless on the same social media platform, saying:

“Couldn’t of had anything to do with the Raiders playing some of their best defense. But sure, yeah, blame the woman.”

Martina Navratilova echoed Bertinelli’s statement, saying that no matter what, everyone always blames women:

“Isn’t it always the woman’s fault?”
