Kristin Juszczyk and Kylie Kelce discussed the derogatory label 'WAGs' during their podcast, expressing concerns over its negative connotations despite a rise in female empowerment within the NFL. Juszczyk emphasized her pride in her husband and the importance of her own identity, while Kelce acknowledged that many apply the term in a negative manner. Historically, 'WAGs' originated in the 2000s to describe the ostentatious lifestyles of wives and girlfriends of sports stars. It has resurfaced due to increased media attention, particularly following Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce.
I take such pride in what my husband does, and I love supporting him. It's my favorite thing in the world. But that's not the only person that I am. I'm my own individual.
While Kelce doesn't think everyone intends it (to mean something negative), the vast majority (use it) in some type of negative capacity.
Over the past couple years, it has become increasingly common for media reports to refer to Juszczyk, Kelce and other wives and girlfriends of professional athletes as WAGs.
The term indeed has a troubled history but came back into fashion after Taylor Swift began dating Kylie Kelce's brother-in-law, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
