\n\tJulia Fox<\/a> has seen enough of the NFL<\/a> finger-pointing game, and she\u2019s not buying into it. The Uncut Gems actress called out the way women get scapegoated when their athlete partners falter \u2014 a dynamic Taylor Swift<\/a> knows all too well. After all, it was just last February that Swift watched fianc\u00e9 Travis Kelce walk off the field after the Chiefs\u2019 devastating Super Bowl LIX loss<\/a> to the Eagles, where she was even met with boos in the stands. Now, with the new season underway, the same old narrative has returned: if the Chiefs lose, somehow it\u2019s Swift\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a new interview with Pedestrian.TV,<\/a> Fox dismissed that logic as \u201ccrazy.\u201d \u201cLike, if a guy loses a game it\u2019s a girl\u2019s \u2018fault,\u2019 it\u2019s, like, his girlfriend\u2019s \u2018fault.\u2019 It\u2019s just crazy,\u201d she said. Fox recalled fans blaming Swift for a Kelce loss last year, shaking her head at the \u201cirrational ass s***\u201d sports culture leans on to pin failure on women: \u201cit ultimately leads to a woman being blamed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSome superstitions can be silly and harmless \u2014 Prince William<\/a> famously makes his kids shuffle around the living room during tense Aston Villa matches \u2014 but others, like blaming Swift for the Chiefs\u2019 record, carry a more misogynistic edge. And when those kinds of digs pile up, some Swifties cite them as the reason she doesn\u2019t \u201cget involved politically\u201d \u2014 arguing that constant sexist scrutiny justifies her silence. It\u2019s a framing that infantilizes more than it protects \u2014 sparing her from conversations about her billionaire status<\/a>, private jet usage<\/a>, and particular brand of white feminism<\/a> while letting the sexist tropes run unchecked.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this month, Swift slipped into Arrowhead Stadium<\/a> behind a black screen, a stealthy entrance that sent fans spinning with theories about her The Life of a Showgirl album rollout, or a possible pregnancy. Coming so soon after her August engagement to Kelce, even a walk into the stadium became a headline, proof of how relentless the attention has grown \u2014\u00a0both positive and negative.<\/p>\n

\n\tFox, though, has little patience for the whole spectacle. \u201cSo you\u2019re admitting we\u2019re powerful? So you\u2019re admitting it?\u201d she quipped. For her, the truth is simple: the Chiefs\u2019 record lives and dies on the field \u2014 not in the VIP box, no matter what Swift happens to be up to.<\/p>\n
