Rob Gronkowski has joined the chorus of criticism over the NFL’s coverage of Taylor Swift during her new romance with Chiefs star Travis Kelce.

The pop sensation has been a regular at games since she began dating Kelce, popping up at MetLife Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium to support the Chiefs tight end.

The NFL has tapped into the frenzy – on both social media and TV coverage – prompting anger among some supporters. Even Kelce said the league was ‘overdoing it a little bit.’

Now, legendary tight end Rob Gronkowski has echoed those frustrations. The former Patriots star, a four-time Super Bowl champion, believes the cameras are too quick to cut to Swift in the stands.

‘It’s just a little bit too much,’ he said on FanDuel TV’s ‘Up & Adams’.

‘Yes, you can show her, maybe have her perform a song now since they’re hyping her up every single week but we want more football. Yes, it’s fine that you show her, but not every single play.’

After it was pointed out that Swift had helped build audiences in the NFL, Gronkowski responded: ‘Show the players, show the player celebrations.’

Earlier this week, the 34-year-old insisted he has no problem with Kelce’s love lif e or swelling profile, insisting he ‘deserves’ every success both ‘on and off the field.’

‘It’s wonderful, he deserves it all,’ Gronkowski told ‘Entertainment Tonight’. ‘He’s had seven 1,000-yard seasons in a row. 

‘Wide receivers barely have seven 1,000-yard seasons in a row. 

‘He deserves every commercial, and he’s a good-looking man, so he deserves any lady that he wants to get.’

The NFL previously defended its decision to ‘lean into’ Kelce’s romance with Swift, arguing: ‘(It) has been a pop cultural moment we’ve leaned into in real-time, as it’s an intersection of sport and entertainment, and we’ve seen an incredible amount of positivity around the sport.’
