Swiftie Dads Speak Out About Bonding With Daughters Over Football

While some football fans are angry over the coverage Taylor Swift's getting for attending Travis Kelce's games, other dads are speaking out about how it's helped them bond with their teen and tween daughters.

John R went viral on TikTok with his advice to girl dads to stop fighting it and embrace it instead. He got to go to a playoff game with his daughter, something he says wouldn't have happened without Taylor Swift. Sportswriter Kevin Van Valkenburg posted on X that he felt sorry for those who spent the year complaining, because he spent the season bonding with his daughter over Swift/Kelce memes.

They're not the only ones. NBC’s Sam Brock reports for TODAY on how the Swift/Kelce connection is helping dads and daughters bond over football.
