The pop sensation has made headlines in recent months for her numerous appearances at Kansas City Chiefs games after she started dating tight end Travis Kelce.
Swift first attended a game back in September, and has been regularly spotted cheering on Kelce in suites and the stands at games since then.
Speaking with Fox News, former professional football player and coach Dungy was asked about a poll that revealed less than 25 per cent of Gen Z considered themselves “avid sports fans”.
“I think we’ll always have sports in some form or fashion. Some people are disenchanted with it,” Dungy said (per USA Today).
When asked specific about the Taylor Swift effect, he added: “That’s the thing that’s disenchanting people with sports now.
“There’s so much on the outside coming in. Entertainment value and different things that’s taking away from what really happens on the field.”
