‘I knew you were trouble when you walked in!’ That’s what the NFL world thinks about Taylor Swift after the recent Kansas City Chiefs game. The Chiefs are always making headlines this season, particularly for remaining the unbeaten team. Another reason for the attention is pop star Taylor Swift. Ever since Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ star tight end, started dating the pop sensation, she’s been the center of attention during their games. And some fans are just not liking this extra unusual attention that the ‘New Romantics’ songstress is getting.

However, things took a real turn after the Chiefs vs. Broncos game, and Kelce’s sweetheart is back in the middle of all the drama. Sarah Thomas, the referee for the Chiefs vs. Broncos game, was spotted FaceTiming with her family and Taylor Swift. She even met the pop star before the game. This has some fans convinced that the Chiefs have an upper hand this season, with the NFL backing them. It’s hard not to see why, given how smoothly things have been going for them lately. Pretty convincing, right? Well, it’s not exactly the first time this has happened. Teams getting a little extra help from management is something that goes on in all sports.

Since the Chiefs are still undefeated, their success has kind of turned into a conspiracy theory. The NFL fans acting like James Bond, trying to figure out what’s going on. The conspiracy swirling around is that some fans believe the NFL might be giving the Chiefs a little extra help to ensure they secure a 3-peat.

Now, whether the NFL is really that generous to the Chiefs or not, we can’t say. Just like we get skeptical when everything seems to go too smoothly in our own lives, fans are starting to feel the same way about the Chiefs. Netizens flooded Twitter, throwing jabs at Sarah Thomas and calling her unfair. An X user commented, “We have been known the Chiefs got the refs in the pockets.” Some even called for her immediate firing.

But we can’t deny the Chiefs have been crushing it like Thor out there this season. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones and everyone on the squad has been on fire with their performance.

Taylor Swift’s favorite team is on fire this season

This season, the Chiefs are playing like pros. The star QB has thrown 12 touchdowns, put up 2,208 passing yards, and has a 66.9% completion rate with 9 interceptions. Taylor’s sweetheart, Kelce, has been doing his thing this season. He’s grabbed 2 touchdowns, racked up 499 receiving yards, and caught 60 passes, averaging 8.3 yards per catch. Chris Jones, the Chiefs’ defensive tackle, has been putting in solid work this season. Jones has made 9 tackles and notched 3 sacks so far this season​

Moving on, while some fans love Taylor Swift’s presence at the Chiefs game. Others are totally over the whole pop culture crossover and just want to focus on football. Fans are starting to feel that the NFL might be more focused on commercial interests than keeping the game’s integrity intact. We get the frustration. Fans have been speaking up a lot about how pop culture is seeping into sports. But the hard truth is, that the NFL is also a commercial entity. And let’s be real, Taylor Swift’s presence has helped sell a whole lot of tickets for the Chiefs’ games.
