"The fact that the world's biggest pop star is dating a star tight end, who had one of his greatest games ever, and a network puts them on the air briefly, that it bothers you, what does that say about your life?" Cowherd said on "The Herd."

He contrasted the venom directed at Swift with the reaction to male celebrities who attend sporting events, like Matthew McConaughey, Drake and Jack Nicholson.

"We celebrate it.. But a talented and beautiful woman is on the air — one who would never pay attention to lonely men — and it bothers them," Cowherd said.

"There’s a stat out there, it’s kind of uncomfortable for you sad guys, that 50% of men never have real intimacy with a woman," he continued. "That means the other 50% have multiple intimate relationships with women. And the ones that don’t are angry and sad and lonely, and they are often misogynistic and resent women who didn’t give them the time they think they deserve.”

"This anger says nothing about Taylor Swift. It says everything about the men bothered by it," Cowherd concluded.
