Former LSU gymnast turned Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia 'Livvy' Dunne backed pop superstar Taylor Swift's response to critics who complain about the television time she's received while attending NFL games.

Dunne, the girlfriend of Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes, reposted a clip of Swift joking that she decided to appear on the New Heights podcast hosted by her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and his brother, retired former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, because they "have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast" and “I think we all know that if there’s one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens — it’s more of me.”

"She gets it," Dunne wrote with a crying-laughing emoji.

The former LSU gymnast has also acknowledged attention she's received from baseball fans amid her relationship with Skenes, an All-Star during each of his first two MLB seasons.

“POV: You’re dating a professional athlete,” Dunne wrote in a TikTok post that included screengrabs of numerous comments referencing Skenes on her posts.

“Yall are obsessed,” she added with a crying-laughing emoji.

Swift said she participated in the New Heights interview because it was her "favorite podcast" and joked that it "got me a boyfriend."

"This podcast has done a lot for me, I owe a lot to this podcast. This podcast got me a boyfriend ever since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app about two years ago," Swift said, referencing Kelce saying he attempted to give her a friendship bracelet when he attended her her 'Eras Tour' concert at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the Chiefs, prior to their relationship.

Swift then revealed that Kelce "didn't even reach out to our management" when he and quarterback Patrick Mahomes attended the concert.

"He came with Pat and he thought that cause he knows the elevator lady that he could talk to her about just getting down to my dressing room," Swift said.

"Yeah, that's how it works, you just go," Jason joked before laughing.

"That's how it works in 1973," Swift responded. "But yeah, he really was just like, 'yeah, I know a guy, I can figure this out.'"
