Political commentator Candace Owens has ignited controversy once again, this time taking aim at Taylor Swift. In a recent podcast episode, Owens criticized Swift’s growing presence in the NFL, labeling the pop star as “awfully woke” and even calling for her to be banned from the league’s events.
Owens specifically targeted Swift’s influence on the NFL audience, claiming that her association with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is being used to push political and social agendas. “She’s turning the NFL into a platform for her personal beliefs,” Owens said. “The league needs to focus on football, not woke theatrics.”
Swift, who has been vocal about various social and political issues, has yet to respond to the comments. However, her fans, known as “Swifties,” were quick to come to her defense on social media, calling Owens’ remarks baseless and accusing her of trying to politicize Swift’s involvement with the NFL.
The debate has sparked widespread reactions, with some applauding Owens for standing up against celebrity influence in sports, while others see her remarks as unnecessary and divisive. As tensions rise, all eyes are on Swift and the NFL to see if they will address the controversy.
Stay tuned for updates as this heated clash between music, sports, and politics unfolds.
