Pat McAfee spent an eventful Sunday night balancing his roles as a loving husband and an ardent Colts supporter. He attended Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour concert at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, accompanied by his wife and her friends. The concert coincided with the Indianapolis Colts‘ game against the Minnesota Vikings, causing McAfee, a former punter for the Colts, to monitor the ongoing game while enjoying Swift’s performance.
Fans of Swift expressed their displeasure, jokingly attributing the Colts’ defeat to McAfee’s split focus, coining the term “Tayvoodoo” to suggest that his distraction impacted the game’s outcome.
McAfee’s Reflection
The next day on The Pat McAfee Show, he responded to the fans’ comments, affirming that while he did occasionally check his phone for game updates, he was completely engaged in the concert.
He expressed his enjoyment of Swift’s performance and reassured fans that his brief phone checks didn’t hinder his experience.
With a playful tone, McAfee acknowledged the “Tayvoodoo” commentary, sharing laughter about the whole situation and his night spent balancing his Colts enthusiasm and attending the concert.
“I never realized you could have such an engaged audience for three and a half hours,” he remarked.
“Taylor Swift is phenomenal… It was truly an unforgettable experience.
“Keeping track of the Colts game on my phone was challenging since the concert was incredibly captivating. The atmosphere was the most electrifying I’ve ever experienced.”
“Some Swifties suggested that due to my focus on the football game, I brought the Tayvoodoo upon the Colts because I wasn’t fully present. I assure you, I was all in. I just didn’t know the lyrics like everyone else. Tayvoodoo…”
