    So many of my guy friends have tried, and failed, to explain football to me. I hear the words "line of scrimmage" and my eyes glaze over with uninterested confusion. Suddenly, I'm walkin' over to the cheese tray at the Super Bowl party to pass the time instead of watching men run around for 30 seconds, then stop, then start, then stop...over and over again. Go sports, I guess! Everything has changed now that mother, Taylor Swift, has made an appearance at two football games amidst her rumored relationship with famed sports player, Travis Kelce.

    I'm not the only Swiftie who has more desire and focus than ever when it comes to understanding football. The internet has been buzzing with T-Swift fans who have gotten into it overnight. Here are 21 of the best tweets from newly sporty Swifties:

    Just a reminder that Taylor Swift is worldwide and American football is not before you embarrass yourself.
