The Chiefs haven’t heard from Taylor Swift in a while. Since the Raiders took the defending champions down on a Christmas Day clash, a few pundits have been quick to jump to conclusions. Conclusions stated that the singer was nothing but a distraction for the side, doing them more damage than good.
Although both sides, unbothered by the noise, are back at Arrowhead once again. As usual, Swift was spotted at the VIP suite early in the game, and it made its way to social media. But can the home team get their job done where it matters? It is kind of needed to relieve either side of accusations and blame.

Swift was spotted in her fixed place at the VIP suite of Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where the Chiefs are taking on the Bengals in week 17. Paparazzi were quick to photograph the singer, and her bright smile made the day better for the Swifties.

However, there was one significant absence from the snaps: Patrick Mahomes‘ wife Brittany. She has been a regular attendee at Chiefs games since the QB joined the side and has developed a charming friendship with the singer.

Initially considered being a lucky charm for the side, Swift’s powers have failed multiple times in this season. The Chiefs have lost 6 games during their title defense, a record-matcher since Mahomes took over. Can they prevent any further slip-ups in the season?

The Raiders said they knew how to exploit the champions’ weaknesses, and they did. The Mahomes-led offense has looked toothless as of late, much coming from their WR problems; and the Raiders game was no different. The QB dropped the ball for a return touchdown, and even Travis Kelce had a rare slip-up.
The TE later admitted in their New Heights Podcast that it was the defense that was keeping them in the games. But for how long? As things stand, the Bengals with an injured Ja’Marr Chase and without the support of their star QB Joe Burrow are leading the Chiefs. With 5 minutes ongoing in the 3rd quarter, there’s still plenty of time left for a comeback. But so was the last week.
