‘Just a quick public service announcement everybody since this seems to be breaking news,’ she began in a statement.

She continued: ‘I am pro romance. Yay romance [clapping hands emoji] Did y’all even watch what I actually said on my show? I just said I want to watch football when I tune in to watch football. Seems an appropriate request. Okay, carry on, and GO COWBOYS!’
The NFL has defended its decision to cover the couple too, explaining: ‘We frequently change our bios and profile imagery based on what’s happening in and around our games, as well as culturally.
‘The Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce news 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.’
