**Kelly Stafford Opens Up About Jealousy Over Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship**

Kelly Stafford, wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, recently shared her personal reflections on Taylor Swift's relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce. Speaking on her podcast, "The Morning After," Stafford acknowledged that her initial irritation towards the intense media focus on the high-profile romance was driven by feelings of jealousy.

Previously, Stafford had expressed her frustration with the extensive coverage of Swift and Kelce, admitting she didn’t want to endure "another four months" of their relationship being in the spotlight. She clarified on the latest episode that her remarks were a result of feeling overshadowed, rather than a dislike for Swift herself.

"I've never said I didn't like Taylor Swift," Stafford explained. She noted that her irritation stemmed from seeing the relationship overshadow the NFL games and the hard work of the players, including her husband. "I was a little jealous of the attention they were getting, making the football games seem like a sideshow," she confessed.

Stafford emphasized that the relentless coverage of Swift, though beneficial for the league's business, detracted from the players' efforts on the field. This realization prompted her to introspect and confront the root of her feelings. "I saw my husband and other players work tirelessly, only for the focus to shift elsewhere," she said.

Despite her initial jealousy, Stafford has always been a fan of Swift’s music. She talked about how she grew up listening to Swift’s songs and has passed that admiration on to her four daughters. "Swift's music had a positive influence on my life," she noted.

Recently, Kelly and Matthew Stafford treated their daughters to Swift’s concert in New Orleans, following his game against the Minnesota Vikings. The event turned out to be a memorable experience for the family. Kelly shared her gratitude for Swift's influence in making her daughters more enthusiastic about football, saying, "I think my girls are prouder of their dad because Taylor Swift loves the sport."

In closing, Kelly Stafford expressed her thankfulness for the unexpected benefit Swift brought to her family’s life, acknowledging the singer's role in enhancing female viewership and making football more appealing to younger fans.
