So is your team in the Big Game on the 11th? Sadly the Steelers got knocked out 2 weeks ago so my team isn’t in it. However, a team my brother played pro football for is so I’ll be rooting for them. I mean I kind of have to, right?
I read there’s a drinking game going around that you have to take a shot every time they show Taylor on the screen. I suspect there will be many drunk folks. LOL Honestly though, it doesn’t bother me. I look at it she’s simply supporting her boyfriend. Sure she’s crazy famous but still, just a girl cheering on her man. Love it beautiful all
