Almost on cue! One of the reasons why people don't like the Yankees is because they are kind of the carpet bagger fan team.

I'm not saying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce aren't diehard Yankees fans. They might be. But a lot of people like being part of a fan base that doesn't get appropriated by the private jet crowd.

They were probably in town for something else social or related to her career and Travis decided he wanted to see the game. I'm sick of them like everyone else but honestly for someone that high in the stratosphere she seems pretty decent.

I like Taylor Swift also. I'd like her even more if, as a native of West Reading, PA, she showed up at a Phillies game or two. Maybe even a Phillies day game.

Taylor could sing the National Anthem, proving she’s down to Earth as Peter says.

To her credit, she has performed our national anthem a number of times.

I'd love to see her have a Whitney Houston moment, but I don't think she's that type of vocalist (to be fair, though, no one is that type of vocalist. Whitney was the GOAT, IMHO).
