He further went on to tease the artist, adding that fellow analyst, Kirk Herbstreit’s kids wouldn’t like it because they were boys. This poor choice of words by Michaels took no time to spread like a wildfire.
All respect to Al Michaels, but dudes can be Taylor Swift fans, too.
Because in reality, Swift is a darling for all music lovers irrespective of age or gender. In fact, she has a humongous male fan following that contributes to almost 44.72% and 55.28% women followers.
Meanwhile, the recently released album Taylor Swift’s Midnight is expected to garner huge fan attention. It is one of her unique compositions, making her return to pop. “This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams,” Swift said per The Hollywood reporter.
“The floors we pace and the demons we face. For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching — hoping that just maybe when the clock strikes twelve… we’ll meet ourselves,” she added. Meanwhile, fans couldn’t get through Michaels’ comments for their favorite star.

As a male Swiftie, I also cringed at this Al Michaels comment
whining like this is super boring but i'm going to do it anyway: the "teenage girls must be so excited!" nonsense is so dull and embarrassing and uninformed. boo.
