New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien really did not want to talk about the possibility of Taylor Swift attending next Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
As the lowly Patriots attempt to win their fourth game of the season, they could be doing so with the world’s biggest pop star in attendance as she’s dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
When asked about how the team would plan for Swift’s possible attendance this weekend, O’Brien just kind of shrugged and tried to give the most inoffensive answer possible by deflecting to Bill Belichick and joking that the topic made him feel “uncomfortable.”
Q: Do the #Patriots have a plan in place if Taylor Swift attends Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs?
Bill O'Brien: "I don't even know how to answer that question, I'm very uncomfortable right now (laughs)"

Okay, this isn’t that serious. You could just come up with some sort of a stock answer, but at least O’Brien joked about how uneasy the question made him instead of just fully be weird about it.
While you don’t expect anyone to really react to a question about Swift and Kelce within the NFL with much more than something uninteresting, O’Brien hinted about the awkwardness some people are going to feel being asked about it anyhow.
