It looks like Taylor Swift has had enough.

After months of receiving backlash from football fans online and in person, the 34-year-old has seemingly hit back following an interaction with fans who were waiting for her after the recent AFC championship game.

The event, which saw the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens go head-to-head at the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, became more than just a night of celebrating some good football action. as Swift once again became a hot topic throughout.

Not only did the CBS broadcast pan to her to capture her reaction - a now common feature of any NFL game she attends - but after the Chiefs had clinched a 17-10 victory over the Ravens, she headed down to the field to congratulate her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

In a clip that recently went viral on X (formerly known as X), a handful of fans could be seen gathered at the venue as Swift walked past, and amongst the crowd, there were a few people who clearly weren't happy that the 'Love Story' singer kept popping up at games.

"You're ruining football," one person kept repeating over and over again. "You're running the NFL," they said again, to which it seemed as though Swift responded back saying: "I didn't do anything."

Have a look at the clip below: 

However, others believed the star was actually responding back to another fan who claimed that the victory was down to her stating: "You did that s***!"

Either way, the fact that she was getting heckled did not sit well with people, with many taking to X to express their thoughts on the matter.

"People are crazy! I love football. I love Travis Kelce. Wasn’t a fan of Taylor’s before- she’s simply coming to support her boyfriend. Good for her. She isn't ruining anything lol," wrote one user.

"Baltimore has the worst fan base in the NFL. I've been to many different stadiums and the most ignorant of them all are the Baltimore Raven fans, win or lose. They have no class, they just can't leave it on the field after the game. That's a shame!" added another irritated fan.

"The fact that it was a woman saying that...? Truly embarrassing and I hope she has a swiftie daughter," a third stated.

Others also praised Swift for being in her 'IDGAF [I don't give a f***] era'.

The NFL spotlight on Swift has been a hot topic ever since she first started attending Chiefs games back in September 2023. At one point, the NFL was even accused of "overdoing" the Swift content by both Kelce brothers.

In a previous episode of their 'New Heights' podcast, Kelce's brother Jason questioned whether the Chiefs' tight end thought that football league was "overdoing it" with the coverage of Swift during games.

"I think everybody is just, like, overwhelmed," he replied.

"Take away your feelings for Taylor," Jason said. "What is your honest opinion on how the NFL is treating celebrities at the games?"

"I think it brings a little more to the atmosphere, it brings a little bit more to what you’re watching. But at the same time, I think..."

Before his younger brother could continue, the Philadelphia Eagles player chimed in stating blankly: "They’re overdoing it."

"They’re overdoing it a little bit, for sure," his brother agreed. "Especially my situation. I think they’re just trying to have fun with it."

Either way, as long as this iconic couple are together, prepare for more Swelce content.
