Taylor Swift has often been trolled and criticized for her live NFL coverage during the Kansas City Chiefs' games. However, according to influencer Haley Kalil, Swift's coverage broke a major stereotype of football. Her influence helped attract female spectators to the sport, which was previously quite low compared to their counterparts.

On Thursday, People released an interview with Kalil in which she praised Swift for her contributions to expanding the female audience of the NFL.

“[Swift] just got women to see that this is a really fun sport to participate in,” Kalil said. “And it's not a sport that's only for men. That was just such a stereotype for the longest time."

"It's almost like you get a reality show of Taylor without the show because you get to see her on camera at these NFL games, and we just like to see her happy. Swifties just want to see her happy," Kalil said.
