128 Days After ‘Shake if Off Dance’, Aaron Rodgers Defies Achilles Tear to Take Part in Taylor Swift’s Second Successive NFL Appearance

“You never know who you’re going to see at the game,” Aaron Rodgers had said on The Pat McAfee Show. This statement fit perfectly the last game of the Kansas City Chiefs. The fans welcomed not only the dynamic teams from both ends, but the pop star Taylor Swift also made an appearance in the arena. Now, as the Chiefs gear up for their clash against the New York Jets, two very powerful speculations have surrounded the NFL fans.

One, Taylor Swift might again turn up to support the Chiefs and Travis Kelce. Two, Aaron Rodgers will come forth on Sunday at MetLife Stadium to support the Green Gang. However, how true these assumptions are only time can tell. For now, the situations, statements, and hints all point toward the crossover of two amidst one of the most anticipated battles.

Injured A-Rod planning to “shake it off”

Four months ago, a video surfaced online of the 4x NFL MVP grooving to $740 million star Taylor Swift’s hit song “Shake it Off” at her Eras Tour performance at MetLife Stadium, the Jets’ home ground. The world works in strange ways. Who knew that months later the superstar would be rumored to be dating the tight end of Rodgers’ conference rival team? And that they might once again be in the same stadium under wildly different circumstances.

It is almost confirmed that Swift will make a second appearance at another of Travis Kelce’s matches. She was last at MetLife Stadium as a performer, now she will be on the other side, watching the Chiefs perform on the gridiron, as a spectator. However, she will not be the only popular name who will bestow her presence upon the fans.

According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, “Aaron Rodgers, who’s currently rehabbing his torn Achilles suffered in Week 1, is planning on attending New York’s game against the Chiefs at MetLife Stadium on “Sunday Night Football.” Interestingly, the last time the two stars were present in the same stadium, it was as a performer-spectator dynamics. This time both will be spectators, watching from the sidelines, cheering for their crew.

Despite these two big names present at the Jets/ Chiefs showdown, the anticipation of the fans will also be divided toward the game. Backing some of the biggest talent on the sides, both the Jets and Chiefs will look to mark their statement in the arena. Not only this but it is important to note that one is coming off a massive win and another off a disheartening loss.

Jets vs. Chiefs—the mega showdown

Rodgers had explained on the show that he had been checking in on his successor, Zach Wilson, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, and TE C. J. Uzomah on a regular basis. “The guys have been great keeping in touch with me,” Aaron Rodgers had said on The Pat McAfee Show. He also added how he misses his team as it is hard to stay away from them. 

While A-Rod was still with the Jets, Zach had served as his mentee, per numerous reports. Therefore, seeing him perform poorly on the field is all the more hurtful for his mentor. However, Rodgers’ probable presence at the stadium while his team battles it out might hopefully give them strength and motivation. The Jets are two key players down, but they have what it takes to win. Even against as formidable a team as the Kansas City Chiefs.

Will the Taylor Effect overpower the A-Rod’s magic? This is going to be a highly anticipated match, whichever team wins, it will be a win for the NFL considering the number of eyeballs that the game will draw because of the two stars. Who will you be rooting for?
