Parsons shared his thoughts on it on his “The Edge with Micah Parsons.” podcast.
Parsons: “It’s not [because of] Taylor Swift, but imma tell y’all one thing, when there’s a ‘bad’ girl, and she’s in attendance, and she’s watching you, that gives you an extra boost of confidence. [Kelce] was already doing it, so now he’s like ‘I’m gonna do it, but more now.'”
