Whatever Taylor Swift does she seems to generate endless social media fodder. Even going to a NFL game.
Ever since she started dating Travis Kelce, his team, Kansas Chiefs, can’t seem to stop making headlines.
Last weekend’s conspiracy theory even managed to reel in a referee. Sarah Thomas is the NFL’s most prominent female ref, and last weekend she was officiating Chiefs v Broncos. Before the game she stopped to chat to Tay-Tay, even getting her family up on FaceTime to say hi to the megastar (according to a sports reporter who says he witnessed it all).
When the Chiefs won a close match 16-14 Broncos fans, and general internet shit-stirrers, went into overdrive, alleging pro-Chiefs bias. That this was just part of a campaign by the NFL to try and engineer a Chiefs’ three-peat at the next Super Bowl.
Then again, if you were going to try and massage a whole season’s football results, perhaps getting Swift to say hi to a referee’s family in a very public setting, might not be top of the list of things you’d plan to do… |
