When you’ve had the misfortune of watching a Kansas Metropolis Chiefs recreation this season, you’re nicely conscious that the published is much less about soccer and extra about auto-tune pop star Taylor Swift.
Not a minute goes by that cameras aren’t displaying Swift within the high-priced luxurious suite or announcers aren’t mentioning her for some motive unrelated to soccer.
Swift has grow to be the present. Not the Chiefs. Not celebrity quarterback Patrick Mahomes. And never even her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
It’s Taylor Swift hour each time the Chiefs take the sector and plenty of NFL followers are uninterested in it. Present and former gamers are additionally uninterested in it, together with retired New York Giants nice Tiki Barber.

It’s not even Travis Kelce,” Barber stated on Monday throughout WFAN’s afternoon drive present. “Perhaps it’s the Taylor Swift affect that has made me — I don’t need to say flip bitter — however simply be barely irritated with the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs. It’s additionally as a result of they’re at all times right here. After you’ve been someplace for thus lengthy and have had the success they’ve had, it turns into inevitable.”
That will be effective if it had been merely in regards to the Chiefs but it surely’s not. And it’s not the Chiefs that most individuals are irritated with — it’s Swift and the networks’ obsession together with her.
“Why are you guys persevering with to indicate Taylor Swift? The obsession is getting annoying,” Barber stated. “Why do we have to see her?”
On Sunday, everybody exterior of Kansas Metropolis will probably be rooting for Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens to place an finish to this sideshow. In the event that they don’t, the Tremendous Bowl — the holiest of soccer Sundays — will probably be taken over by Swift insanity and that simply cannot be allowed to occur.
