“Well, it’s Washington, the Commanders, versus the Philadelphia Eagles,” she said at the time. “They’re both my teams. I grew up in D.C., but because I am a Philly girl now by adoption, I always root for them when they’re doing well.”

The star added that watching football on the red carpet may become a tradition, given that award shows are typically on Sunday, which is the same day most games are on.
