The Black Friday game ended with the Kansas City Chiefs winning their 11th game of the season against the Las Vegas Raiders. To support Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Red Team, Taylor Swift too made an attendance at the Arrowhead Stadium. However, like always, she was being reportedly subtly targeted this time too.

The Week 13 game was announced by Kirk Herbstreet on Prime. Everything was going well, but then in the first half when the Chiefs were 10-3, something happened that took some Taylor Swift fans offbeat. Herbstreet called out Patrick Mahomes’s team for their ‘illegal formation.’

During this play, Jawaan Taylor was seen positioning a little behind his organized offensive line lineup. Now this irked the announcer who said, “ILLEGAL FORMATION could be the Jawaan Taylor rule. As much as anybody in the NFL, you can call it a Taylor rule.”

And that, via nflrefstats on X, “The @Chiefs have only been penalized once (accepted) for ILLEGAL FORMATION.” Now, after this, some Swifties thought it was subtle from Herbstreit to call it a Taylor rule when Swift was watching the game. Hence, a few dropped their anger on that Taylor terminology by asking, “Anyone else watching the Kansas City game and now offended by the broadcaster referring to “The Taylor Rule” but not in the monetary policy sense?

There is another economic sense to the Taylor rule in monetary policy. However, this time, it was clear that Kirk Herbstreet, who already fell into the controversy these past days, didn’t mean that. So, some other fans replied to that question by commenting with a raising hand emoji or agreeing to it.

Nevertheless, with her presence, Taylor Swift definitely won the hearts of her fans. And of course, Patrick Mahomes’s close friend, Travis Kelce at the Thanksgiving game.

Patrick Mahomes and his Chiefs won 19-17 against the Raiders on November 29, during the Thanksgiving vibe. However, it was a double joy for Travis Kelce to find his beau, Taylor Swift, in the VIP suite, supporting him in the game. But that’s not all about the story. The pop icon made a couple of special gestures for her love.

When she arrived at Arrowhead Stadium, observers noticed her matching her outfit with Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce. Donna wore an all-black warm outfit paired with a red and black muffler, while Swift sported a cozy red Louis Vuitton cashmere sweater, black tight-fit denim, and matching boots. Besides this, she made her look special with her “87” necklace (Kelce’s jersey no.) to cheer on her boyfriend.

Wow! That’s a special way to support someone, and Swift never misses any chance to do so.
