Matthew Stafford’s wife Kelly recalls QB’s “dude to dude” interaction with Taylor Swift’s dad at Eras Tour

Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly took their kids to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert last week. Following their arrival back home, Kelly shared an Instagram story, thanking Swift for an “incredible” experience at the show. Kelly recently opened up about her Eras Tour visit, recalling a meetup with Swift’s dad.

In the latest episode of “The Morning After” podcast, Kelly recalled coming across Taylor Swift’s dad Scott during the concert. Kelly explained how her husband Matthew Stafford instantly hit off with Scott Swift. Praising Scott, Kelly said:

“Matthew talked to the dad for a bit. He was very, very kind. He’s a good-looking guy and very, very nice. Him and Matthew kind of hit it off because [Stafford] was watching the Dodgers game in the World Series, as well as watching Taylor. They were kind of checking in with each other dude-to-dude.” (18:17)

During the podcast episode, Kelly also recalled her previous criticism towards Taylor Swift’s excessive NFL coverage following her Travis Kelce romance. Kelly said how she was jealous of Swift back then, which led to her controversial comments.

“I feel like there is just this… cloud hanging over with this Taylor Swift thing. Now, I have never once said I didn’t like Taylor Swift — ever. But I will say I kind of got tired of the Chiefs’ coverage of it — actually the NFL’s coverage of this budding relationship last year. And, can she do anything about that? No, she can’t,” Kelly said.

“It was a good business decision for the NFL, but I almost felt like it was outshining the games. I think that’s what bothered me. I was a little jealous of the fact that they were getting all this attention, and all of a sudden, the football game was the sideshow. So yeah, maybe I let jealousy get the best of me,” Kelly further added.

Matthew Stafford’s wife Kelly revealed she was expecting backlash for attending Eras Tour

Moving forward in the podcast, Kelly Stafford explained how she was well aware of the backlash she might receive from fans for attending Taylor Swift’s concert. Opening up about the same, Kelly expressed:

“Going to the concert, I knew there was going to be ‘backlash’ … Why was I feeling that way? And it really was, I had some jealousy issues of the fact that she all of a sudden became the main show in NFL football or their relationship. (3:56)

“And I watch my husband work his a** off, and I watch all these guys who play for the league work their a***s off, and all of a sudden, they’re like the sideshow. So that is where that kind of came from,” she concluded.

After calling out Taylor Swift for her NFL coverage, there have been many times when Kelly Stafford has launched praises for the Blank Space singer. It’s worth noting that her kids are huge fans of the singer so there’s most likely no hard feelings between the two.
