"Taylor Swift gets it" - Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne applauds $1.5B-worth pop icon's playful dig about male sports fans

Olivia Dunne, the girlfriend of Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, clearly enjoyed Taylor Swift's remark poking fun at male sports fans.

In a clip uploaded by Travis Kelce's "New Heights" podcast ahead of her appearance on Wednesday, Swift joked about the bad blood that existed between her and male sports fans.

"If there’s one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it’s more of me,” Swift, who is valued at $1.5 billion (Celebrity Net Worth), said with a smile.

Dunne reposted the video on her story and dropped a three-word reaction.

"SHE GETS IT🤣" Dunne wrote.

Swift was often present at Arrowhead Stadium last season to cheer on her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. However, a section of football fans felt that she took the focus away from the action on the field and criticized broadcasters for showcasing her so frequently.

Paul Skenes' girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, recently opened up about dealing with haters

Paul Skenes' girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, has worked on developing her brand following her retirement from gymnastics earlier this year. The former LSU gymnast has served as a model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and is also a social media influencer with around 5.4 million followers on Instagram.

With so much of her life online, she faces plenty of hate and criticism. On Stephanie McMahon's "What's Your Story? With Steph McMahon" in July, Dunne revealed that she deals with online haters and naysayers by either ignoring them or blocking them:

"I have no shame in blocking people, yeah, or unfollowing. If you're getting hate and you don't wanna see it, you have control over your account."

Dunne said that every time she achieves something in her life, there are people online who look to pull her down.
