The recent struggles of the Kansas City Chiefs, including a 14-20 Christmas Day loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, mark their third defeat in four games. This definitely signals a downturn for the team. Amidst this, the ‘Enchanted’ singer Taylor Swift has been a regular fixture at games.
She recently became a topic of controversy. Sports commentator Skip Bayless, on his “X” account, sparked debate by calling Swift a ‘distraction’ to the team. This comment prompted a strong rebuttal from Swift’s loyal fans. Naturally, they didn’t hesitate to defend her against Bayless’s criticism.

This claim insinuated that Swift’s attendance at games was linked to the team’s losses. A fanpage of Swift, swiftiesforeternity took to social media to deride the assertion. They captioned, “This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen but I can’t say I’m surprised, of course they’d blame a woman who isn’t on the field for their lack of winning games!”
A fan also added on X, “So it’s Taylor’s fault that every single receiver on the team can’t catch a damn ball? I must laugh.” This exchange has led to many fans having a debate in the comments. Undoubtedly, there are many who blame the players for not playing as well instead of blaming Swift.
