Gronkowski, appearing on the with broadcaster Kay Adams, replied to the host when she said fans need to lighten up a little. "It’s just a little bit too much, he replied.
"You can show her, " he said. "Maybe have her perform a song now, since they’re hyping her up every single week.
"But we want more football. Yes, it’s fine that you show her, but not every single play.”
Gronkowski, who won four Super Bowls and caught 92 career touchdowns, was a bit of an old-school caveman on the football field.

So it makes sense if Gronk wants 24-7-365 football filling his big screen in NFL retirement.
Factually, Swift's face isn't show on TV during every single play of every single game, every week.
In fact, the pop music superstar is only shown randomly during Kansas City Chiefs games -- and she doesn't attend every contest that Travis Kelce plays.
Gronk should know that.

NFL Red Zone host Scott Hanson, who puts in a lot of work every Sunday and is a familiar face to NFL fans in the United Kingdom, believes a little Swift every now and then isn't a bad thing.
Hanson started a recent tweet with, "We need to talk, y’all."
Then the king of the witching hour laid out four bullet points that made Gronk's big complaint look silly.
"She’s on screen for less than 60 seconds in a 6+ hour show.
"2. We’ve never missed ANY consequential play showing a cutaway of her.
"3. There are tons of people that are interested in her orbiting of the NFL world.

"4. We are committed to serving ALL who watch NFL Red Zone.
"So why’s this such a 'violation' for some of you?"
It's hard to say there's too much Swift when she's romantically involved with one of the best tight ends in NFL history, who plays on a Super Bowl champion that features Patrick Mahomes at quarterback.
Then there's the fact that Swift has become so popular that someone has apparently created an almost 400-pound pumpkin in her honor.
