Breaking News: Whoopi Goldberg tells Travis Kelce fans blaming Taylor Swift for his sluggish start to ‘shut up’… See More

The View host Whoopi Goldberg has defended Taylor Swift and ordered Kansas City Chief fans to ‘shut up’ after they blamed the singer for her boyfriend’s sluggish start to the NFL season.

Kelce played a peripheral role again on Sunday night as the Kansas City Chiefs extended their perfect start to the season to 3-0 with a 22-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

The 34-year-old, whose girlfriend missed a game for the first time this season, was caught by TV cameras looking particularly miserable on the sideline in a clip which went viral.

Some football fans have been quick to accuse Swift of ‘taking his mind off the game,’ but Goldberg, 68, was having none of it and fumed during Tuesday’s episode of the daytime show: ‘Grow up, y’all! Grow up! Stop putting this on her. Your team is fine, your team is doing well. Shut up!’

The Sister Act star continued: ‘It’s insane. Listen, this is a guy whose doing movies now, he’s doing television commercials, he’s doing all kinds of stuff. He might have been a little busy, and maybe he’s not 12 anymore, okay? He’s still a viable player….’

Goldberg also claimed it was Donald Trump supporters who are most annoyed and added: ‘I’m blaming MAGA. I think it’s them because they’re mad she is not supporting you-know-who. They’re putting all of this on her!’ referring to the singer’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.

Sunny Hostin was quick to agree and said: ‘I love your point, though. It’s probably the crazy MAGA people that are upset about this,’ as Goldberg fired back: ‘Yeah, because why else would this suddenly be an issue?’

Defending the Cruel Summer hitmaker, she then claimed: ‘And she’s also busy! Sorry y’all, she’s not thinking about him!’ before Alyssa Farah Griffin shared her thoughts.

Griffin, 35, said: ‘If I may put on my sports analyst hat… as I understand it, football is a team sport, so just because he’s not making touchdowns doesn’t mean he’s not contributing to the success of the team. They’re currently undefeated this season and once again just the classic blaming a woman for a man….

‘She can’t magically affect his game, and the thing I do love about this relationship and why I root for it, they support each other. He went to more than half a dozen of her international shows.

‘She showed up, she flew back from the Tokyo “Eras” tour, took a 12-hour flight to be at the Super Bowl, one of the best signs of love is showing up for the other person,’ Griffin added.

Joy Behar chimed in and commented: ‘Remember when Bill Clinton had his scandal after Hillary, they blamed her. This goes back to the Garden of Eden, but it’s like as old as the hills, it’s biblical to blame the woman and here we go again.’

She then turned to Goldberg and added: ‘But I think you’re right, I think it’s that group.’
