I’m happy to see I’m not the only one annoyed with this whole thing.

It’s been quite obvious that the NFL has been taking full advantage of the hype going on with the outright annoying relationship between Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and music superstar Taylor Swift. But like yours truly, a ton of football fans are absolutely sick of it — hell, even Kelce himself said the league is “overdoing it a little bit.”

Not only has Swift been all over the tube when all we want to do is watch a little pigskin before going back to work Monday, but while a lot of us are scrolling through our phones while on the job (and I know a lot of you are guilty), we also have to endure the nonsense during the week because of the NFL’s online antics.

After the Chiefs’ 23-20 win Sunday night over the New York Jets, the NFL’s social media team decided to switch up their Instagram bio with “The @Chiefs are now 2-0 with @TaylorSwift13 in attendance.” While on their TikTok, the league put photos of Swift as their header.

Oh yeah, they’re going in … and a lot of us wanna throw up.

But the NFL isn’t backing down — oh, no, no, no — releasing a weak ass statement to defend their bubblegum BS.

“We frequently change our bios and profile imagery based on what’s happening in and around our games, as well as culturally,” the league told People. “The Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce news has been a pop-cultural moment we’ve leaned into in real time, as it’s an intersection of sport and entertainment, and we’ve seen an incredible amount of positivity around the sport.”

“The vast majority of our content has remained focused on the game,” added the NFL.

I guess this means that we should get ready for even more Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift hype from the NFL, despite the fact that I’m willing to bet that the majority of us are already annoyed with this whole ordeal.

Good marketing, NFL. Good marketing. (RELATED: Cowboys Or 49ers? Jaguars Or Bills? Ravens Or Steelers? Andrew Powell Makes His NFL Week 5 Picks)

P.S.

That’s about all I have nice to say regarding Travis and Taylor’s relationship.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
