To which she replied, “I wasn’t”. But, why? Why wasn’t she a fan? Well, she revealed that the reason behind it was her father.

She said, “The hard thing is I grew up right on the state line of Wisconsin. I was actually born in Wisconsin, but we lived in Illinois. So, my dad grew up with all Packers fans. What he says is ‘I’m not against the Packers, I’m against the Packers fans’.”

She added, “I don’t know what that really means because now I’m a Packers fan.”
