Charles Barkley tore into Taylor Swift haters. The retired NBA legend turned sports presenter, during Wednesday’s segment of his King Charles Show with Gayle King, stated that those who criticize Media or hate on the pop star attending football games to cheer for her beau Travis Kelce are jackas***.

Barkley said,

If you’re screaming at Taylor Swift, saying she ruined football, you’re just a loser. You’re just a loser or a jackas*. You can be A or B. One of the two.

The 60-year-old NBA legend’s statement was backed up by guest Bob Costas. He stated that Swift’s involvement with the biggest sport in the country only helped increase its popularity even more. Her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro tight end attracted the curiosity of several Swift fans.

Look at all the new people she’s brought to the NFL. You see young teenage girls who are now watching football for the first time.

Not only that, Costas believes that the 2024 Super Bowl will become one of the highest-rated events in television history because of Swift.

90 of the top 100 rated television shows in a given year are football games. So you would think they couldn’t improve on that, but now they’ve tapped into another demographic.

Swift previously, in an interview with Time Magazine, said she comes to Chiefs games solely to cheer for Kelce.

I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.

Can Taylor Swift attend Super Bowl LVIII?

Since her first appearance at a Chiefs game back in September, Swift has been a regular presence in the audience. She even went to every single playoff game, whether it was in snowy Buffalo or windy Baltimore. So by that order, she should attend the Super Bowl LVIII in Vegas.

However, it won’t be that easy. She had her hands free during those games. After finishing her first leg of the ERAS Tour, she was preparing for the next leg, which is the international phase. Swift is scheduled to travel to Japan and perform in Tokyo.

Those who have already booked a ticket will know that the concert date is February 10, one day before Super Bowl LVIII. So, is it even possible for her to attend?

Well, factoring in a private jet and the time change between Tokyo and Las Vegas, yes, it’s possible. Swift’s flight would roughly take about 12 hours, which on paper should make her reach Allegiant Stadium in LA just before the 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff.
