NFL Player's Wife Makes Bold Declaration About Taylor Swift Supporting Travis Kelce at Chiefs Games

While Taylor Swift has been the target of criticism from NFL fans who've accused her of distracting Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, others have a more favorable view of her influence on football.

For example, Allison Kuch—wife of NFL player and free agent Isaac Rochell—thinks Swift has played a part in helping to change the way WAGs are viewed.

“I think women in and around sports are being uplifted more now, and we have so many incredible women to thank for that,” Kuch said in a new interview with People. “I mean, Taylor Swift, Simone Biles, Brittany Mahomes—these women are doing amazing things beyond just being a ‘wife.’”

“The narrative is moving in a much more positive direction, away from the old stereotype of, ‘Oh, you married him for his money,'" she continued. "I hope I’ve played a part in changing that as well.”

The 29-year-old content creator and Rochell met when they were both college sophomores, with Kuch attending Michigan State University while Rochell studied at the University of Notre Dame. They eloped in December 2020, going on to hold an official ceremony in April 2021.

"I love any excuse people can find to be more interested in sports, like being a Taylor Swift fan and wanting to watch more football," Kuch told the publication. "...I think sports can be for anybody and everyone."

“At the end of the day, I’m still helping him follow his dreams,” Kuch added of her husband. “I’m following him around the city, and I feel like a lot of people have this misconception that I’m not allowed to feel like, 'Oh, dang, we have to move away from our family.' That hurts my feelings. People expect you to stay positive about it, but hopefully, I’ve helped shift that narrative too.”
