While Taylor Swift has been the target of criticism from NFL fans who’ve accused her of distracting Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, others have a more favorable view of her influence on football.
For example, Allison Kuch—wife of NFL player and free agent Isaac Rochell—thinks Swift has played a part in helping to change the way WAGs are viewed.
“I think women in and around sports are being uplifted more now, and we have so many incredible women to thank for that,” Kuch said in a new interview with People. “I mean, Taylor Swift, Simone Biles, Brittany Mahomes—these women are doing amazing things beyond just being a ‘wife.’”
“The narrative is moving in a much more positive direction, away from the old stereotype of, ‘Oh, you married him for his money,'” she continued. “I hope I’ve played a part in changing that as well.”
