Taylor Swift gives Travis Kelce an excuse for not performing at the Super Bowl

Taylor Swift’s visit to Jimmy Fallon’s show follows the line of the rest of the interviews she has given for the promotional round of ‘The Life of a Showgirl’. He hasn’t said almost anything that we don’t already know. Yes, he has explained for the first time why he has not yet starred in a performance at halftime of the Super Bowl. She says it has nothing to do with Travis Kelce, but it has everything to do with Travis Kelce, even if indirectly.

The superstar has given details about the video clip for ‘The Fate of Ophelia’ or her wedding ring, in addition to confirming that Ed Sheeran found out about her engagement on Instagram. However, the interesting part comes right in the last two minutes of the interview, when Swift denies that not having performed at the Super Bowl has anything to do with the rights to the footage.

“Jay-Z has always been very good to me and our teams know each other very well,” the singer begins. She explains that she can always tell the truth to the American rapper and businessman: “I’m in love with a man who really plays that sport on the field. Professional football is violent chess. Gladiators without swords. That’s dangerous. Throughout the season, I am focused on what that man is doing on the field,” she says.

“Can you imagine that he is there every week, risking his life, practicing this very dangerous sport and with such intensity, so that I am thinking about what my choreography should be?” Taylor says, immediately saying that “this has nothing to do with Travis.” “He would love for me to do it, but I’m too focused on the game,” she concludes.
