When Taylor Swift visited Arrowhead Stadium last week to see Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs, NFL fans were caught off guard. On Sunday, however, the NFL world was ready and none more so than broadcaster Mike Tirico.
Swift once again showed up to watch the Chiefs — this time in New York visiting the New York Jets — amidst rumors that she and Kelce are dating. And, as expected, the entire football world couldn’t help but make references to Swift as all eyes were trained on the pop star.
