Vince Gill Defends Taylor Swift From “Uptight” Fans Upset About Her Attending Chiefs Games

In a new interview with the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, Vince Gill says he’s amused by the uproar around Taylor Swift attending Travis Kelce‘s NFL games. The country star, who previously performed with Swift at the 2013 CMA Awards, admires how she handles herself amidst all the intense scrutiny she is under. “She’s awesome. I’m crazy about her,” Gill said of Swift. “I did the CMA Awards with her one year. Myself and Alison Krauss and some other folks did an acoustic version of her song, ‘Red.’ I’ve always been crazy about her, and I just laugh when everybody gets so uptight when she goes to football games.” Gill went on to compare Swift to Dolly Parton, saying, “There’s just a handful of people that they have that charisma, that thing. They own a room. Dolly Parton, she owns a room. It’s fascinating to watch.” Ultimately, Gill says it comes down to, “It’s just a girl that likes a guy, and they’re going to a ballgame.” (People)
