Taylor Swift is, without a doubt, among the most popular WAGs in NFL history. But Chad Johnson believes she is no longer the personification of America in music.

On Thursday, in response to a photo question asking who a country's musical representative was, the former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver posted a GIF of $700-million multi-platinum, award-winning singer Beyoncé instead of Swift:

Beyoncé herself is no stranger to the NFL. In 2004, she performed the National Anthem at Super Bowl XXXVIII at the conclusion of the 2003 season. Nine years later, she was the main act of the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show. And in 2016, she premiered "Formation", the lead single from her studio album "Lemonade", during the Super Bowl 50 halftime show at the conclusion of the 2015 season.

Most recently, she performed at halftime of last season's Houston Texans-Baltimore Ravens clash, which was the first NFL game to air on Netflix. The mini-concert received multiple Grammy nominations, winning for Outstanding Costumes for a Variety, Nonfiction, or Reality Programming.

Travis Kelce lauds "magical" Taylor Swift for New Heights milestone

In August, Taylor Swift made headlines when she appeared on New Heights, the podcast hosted by her fiancé, star Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce; and his elder brother Jason.

That episode proceeded to break all sorts of viewing records, eventually being named one of the best of the year by Apple, as announced by Jason on Wednesday:

“What is beating that one? … There’s nothing that’s even f–king coming close to that. ... Thank you, Apple, for putting us up there, for doing pretty much nothing and just having the most famous person in the world hop on our show.”

Kelce, meanwhile, could only thank his fiancée:

“She’s just so magical.”

In that episode, Swift discussed plenty of topics. While largely focusing on her then-upcoming album "The Life of a Showgirl", she also opened up on some hitherto nebulous personal issues, like how she and Kelce met and the fight to reclaim the original masters of her albums.

At one point, she even thanked the podcast for her life now:

“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.”
