The NFL journalist, Terry Rutledge, could not contain his enthusiasm about the news.

Rutledge has become a great figure in sports journalism
In recent years, more and more women have dominated sports reports, and Rutledge has been everywhere with regard to football.
She started as a touch journalist for Fox Sports, covering the broadcasting of Tampa Bay Rays Games by the network and subsequently competitions from San Diego Padres. In 2013, she welcomed “Chargers Insider”, a show covering the loaders then-San Diego.
A year later, Rutledge began to organize half-time and post-match shows for the cover of university football fox. She became the host of the “sec nation” of the dry network in 2017, and in 2020, she began to host “NFL Live” on ESPN.
Kelce and Swift are the NFL resident celebrity couple
The relationship between Kelce and Swift would have started in the summer of 2023, when Kelce shared during an episode of “New Heights” that he tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet, but he also said that it had done nothing at that time.
At the start of the 2023 season, he declared on “The Pat McAfee Show” that he invited Swift to a Chiefing. She then attended their home competition of week 3 against the Bears in Chicago, and the two were later seen in the Kelce convertible thereafter.
The following week, Swift was at Metlife Stadium when Kansas City visited the New York Jets. Things made snowball from there, and shortly after, the two were confirmed to go out together.
Many football fans have complained about the attention that Swift attracted chiefing matches in the television of the camera of her luxury to Arrowhead Stadium. But it apparently brought more fans and higher ratings for the NFL, which is not exactly a bad thing.
The chiefs won their third Super Bowl championship in five years by escaping the 49ers of San Francisco at the end of the 2023 season. They lost decisively in the big match of last season at the Philadelphia Eagles, and with a lot to count them for 2025, they could end up having a flea on their shoulders once 1 arrives.
