David Letterman Defends Taylor Swift Against Her NFL Haters — and Mixes Up Travis Kelce with Kelsey Grammer
David Letterman has a message for many NFL fans upset with all the attention Taylor Swift is getting for showing up to Kansas City Chiefs games to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce:
“This is such a lovely thing. Shut up!” Hours before the Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship to secure a spot in Super Bowl LVIII, the former “Late Show” host took to social media to praise Swift and send his blessings to her and Kelce.
“I don’t think in the history of show business or the history of popular culture we’ve ever witnessed anything like this,” Letterman said of Swift. “Tremendous! She fills stadiums around the world and puts on a three-hour show. We live in a world now where all we hear is nonsense and ugliness. The nonsense can’t be more nonsensical and the ugliness, God hopes it can’t get any uglier. But that’s all we hear. And now here’s Taylor Swift, who is a glowing bright light of goodness in the world, and she starts dating [Travis Kelce].”
