Julia Fox Slams 'Superstitious' NFL Fans Blaming Taylor Swift for Travis Kelce's Losses

In a recent interview, actress Julia Fox is standing up for Taylor Swift against "superstitious" NFL fans who have been blaming the pop star for her fiancé Travis Kelce's losses with the Kansas City Chiefs. Fox, who is promoting her new psychological thriller set in the world of professional football, is calling out the sexist "blame women" mentality that often plagues the sports world.

According to Fox, when an athlete like Kelce loses a game, their significant other, often referred to as a "WAG" (wife and girlfriend), is unfairly blamed. "It's just crazy. And all the superstitions and all the irrational ass s*** that these men believe, you know, that ultimately leads to a woman being blamed," she explained.

The Uncut Gems actress specifically referenced the backlash Swift faced when Kelce's team lost a game, with fans claiming it was the singer's "fault." Fox finds this notion absurd, saying, "It's like, oh, I didn't know we were so powerful. So you're admitting that we are powerful? So you're admitting it?"

Swift and Kelce have been quietly dating since July 2023 and recently took their relationship to the next level by getting engaged in August. The power couple has been supporting each other's careers, with Swift attending Kelce's games and the NFL star traveling to her concerts around the world.

As Fox notes, the high-stakes world of professional sports can be an intense and scrutinized environment, especially for the women involved. But she's not letting the "superstitious" and sexist attitudes of some fans slide, firmly defending Swift and calling out the irrational blame game.
