Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, recently revealed a surprising admission. She confessed to feeling a tinge of envy over the media frenzy surrounding
Taylor Swift and
Travis Kelce last fall. On a recent podcast episode, she explained how the NFL's excessive focus on the celebrity couple had overshadowed the dedication and hard work of many NFL players. However, Stafford clarified that her issue wasn't with Swift herself but rather with the NFL's decision to prioritize the couple's relationship over the league's athletes. Despite her initial feelings, the Staffords embraced the Swift-Kelce phenomenon in a hilarious way.

Kelly Stafford candidly acknowledged her growing “tired” of the extensive NFL focus on Swift and Kelce during the football season. Speaking on The Morning After podcast, she admitted a hint of jealousy sparked her recent comment about the NFL’s Swift-Kelce fixation, joking that she didn’t want “another four months” of this media coverage. Stafford noted that while Swift and Kelce make an iconic celebrity couple, the NFL’s concentrated spotlight on them at times seemed to overshadow the hard work and dedication of the players on the field. “It’s not Taylor’s fault,” Stafford clarified, pointing out that it was the league’s choice to shine such an intense light on the couple’s budding romance, rather than on the players’ efforts.
In the spirit of Halloween, however, Kelly showed she could also enjoy the Swift-Kelce frenzy. Just a day after her podcast aired, the Staffords fully embraced the theme by dressing up as the famous duo with their kids. Kelly shared a family snapshot on Instagram, captioning it “Six Swifties & a stubborn stache,” a humorous nod to Kelce’s distinctive mustache.
Kelly and Matthew recreated Swift and Kelce’s notable U.S. Open appearance, with Kelly channeling the pop star’s signature look. She wore a red-and-white gingham sundress paired with sunglasses and Swift’s iconic red lipstick. To top it off, she even donned a blonde wig with side-swept bangs, going the extra mile by enlisting a friend to help cut her bangs to match Swift’s hairstyle. Meanwhile, Matthew sported Kelce’s cream-colored outfit with a Gucci bucket hat, capturing the football star’s laid-back style.
Their four daughters, twins Sawyer and Chandler, Hunter, and Tyler, each wore sparkly “Eras Tour” outfits in a nod to Swift’s music era-inspired wardrobe, making for a playful and memorable family look. The family’s Halloween costumes quickly garnered attention on social media, where fans enjoyed the clever mix of pop culture and NFL themes.
Kelly Stafford’s Halloween tribute captured her good-humored approach, bridging her critique with a dose of fun. Her lighthearted take demonstrated that, even amidst the media frenzy, she could still have a little fun with the “Swift-Kelce effect” on the NFL.
