'It's not a competition': NFL fans squash Internet's attempts to pit Taylor Swift against Simone Biles at Chiefs v Packers game
GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN: Taylor Swift was not the only celebrity who attended the December 3 game with the Chiefs and Packers facing off at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Simone Biles, the "most decorated gymnast in history," also graced the stadium, cheering for her husband, the Green Bay safety Jonathan Owens.
Though once again, the pop sensation became the center of attention in the game, many fans were excited to see the seven-time Olympic medalist too.
Swift's presence did nothing fot the Kansas City Chiefs. She had to witness her tightened boyfriend's team lose to the Green Bay Packers 27-19.
Simone Biles is steady and constant support for her husband
The 26-year-old Olympic hero caught the attention of the NFL fans at Lambeau Field. She was spotted kissing her husband shortly before the kickoff.
Biles often regularly attended Owens's games, rooting for the team. After enjoying their dating life for nearly three years, BIles and Owens officially got married in April 2023.
Throughout the NFL season, she's been an unwavering support to her husband. She expressed pride when Owens joined the Packers in May and also revealed that she "bawled her eyes out" when bidding him farewell for training camp.
