Charles Barkley Criticizes Taylor Swift Critics: ‘You’re Just a Failure’

Charles Barkley has a simple message for NFL fans hating on Taylor Swift.

“If you’re screaming at T-Swift saying she ruined [football], you’re just a loser,” the TV presenter and former basketball player said on CNN this week. “You’re just a loser or a jacka–. You can be A or B. One of the two.”

While Swift has been a mainstay at Kansas City Chiefs games throughout the season supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce, it’s unclear if she’ll be able to make it out to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl on Sunday (Feb. 11), in which the Chiefs will face off against the Baltimore Ravens. She’ll be kicking off the Asian and Australian legs of her Eras tour on February 7 to 10, with four shows at the Tokyo Dome in Japan. She then has a few days off before heading to Melbourne, Australia, for her show on Feb. 16.

Swift discussed the backlash to her presence at the games in her TIME Person of the Year interview last year. “I’m just there to support Travis,” she said in the cover story. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads.”

Unfortunately, due to the Super Bowl, Kelce will not be able to fly out to Los Angeles on Feb. 4 to join Swift on the red carpet at the Grammys, where she’s nominated for six awards.
