The Kansas City Chiefs are making waves off the field. But this time, it’s not about touchdowns or Super Bowl rings. It’s about the glitz and glamour of reality TV. Now, Bravo’s throwing a Hail Mary pass, aiming to score big with the Chiefs’ better halves.
People magazine dropped a bombshell on October 4, 2024! A Bravo reality show featuring the Chiefs WAGs is in development. But here’s the catch – they’re still figuring out who’ll make the final roster. An insider spilled the tea to People, saying, “There’s still lots to figure out, including who would be a part of the final cast and whether there’s enough there to build a full series around. It’s very much a work in progress.”
The Chiefs’ kingdom is buzzing with excitement, and fans are already dreaming up potential cast members. Mecole Hardman Jr.’s fiancée Chariah Gordon and Chris Jones’ partner Sheawna Weathersby are early favorites. These ladies have already shown that they can grab eyeballs, posing for selfies with none other than Taylor Swift at Arrowhead Stadium.

Speaking of Swift, she’s the elephant in the room. Her relationship with tight end Travis Kelce has been the talk of the town since she first showed up to cheer him on. Swifties and NFL fans alike are chomping at the bit, hoping to see the pop princess join the WAGs lineup.
But hold your horses, folks. Swift’s involvement is about as likely as a perfect NFL season. Why? Well, it all comes down to her beau’s stance on reality TV. In a candid interview on the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast on June 24, 2024, Kelce made his feelings crystal clear: “I’m way over the reality sh**. I’m out on that sh**.”
What’s your perspective on:
Is Taylor Swift's potential reality show appearance a game-changer for NFL's pop culture appeal?

Why Taylor Swift likely won’t join the Chiefs WAGs show
Kelce’s not just talking the talk. He’s walking the walk. When asked about starring in Netflix’s “Receiver” series, a follow-up to the 2023 hit “Quarterback,” Kelce shut it down faster than a defensive line. “After Pat did it, I did get asked about it. I don’t know. I’d rather just play ball, man. I’m already doing enough with the podcast and everything,” he said.

This isn’t Kelce’s first rodeo with reality TV. Remember “Catching Kelce” on E! back in 2016? Yeah, he’s not looking to relive those glory days. Instead, he’s set his sights on other entertainment ventures. He’s gearing up to host “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” for Amazon’s Prime Video and is dipping his toes into acting with FX’s “Grotesquerie.”
Fans on social media are having a field day with the news. One Twitter user quipped, “No one cares unless Taylor is in it which I don’t think she would want to subject herself to the scrutiny of reality TV.” Another chimed in, “I feel like they’re hoping she’ll say yes so it brings in viewers lol.”

But not everyone’s singing the same tune. A more optimistic fan pointed out, “Speak for yourself. Basketball wives, housewives, etc all work, this doesn’t NEED Taylor, it would just be nice to HAVE her.” So, will the show fumble without its potential MVP? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure – with or without Swift, the Chiefs’ WAGs are ready to tackle prime time. But as one fan lamented, “This is a terrible idea. I know who they’re hoping to get, but they won’t.”
Taylor Swift has clearly brought tons of young fans to the NFL, with viewership just among young women jumping 24%. If she ever joined the WAGs TV show (though it’s unlikely), she’d be a huge asset, and there’s no doubt!
