The honeymoon phase between Swifties and Kansas City Chiefs fans is seemingly over after the team’s Week 16 home loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.on Christmas.
Social media users, mostly Chiefs fans, have since focused on whether or not the “Taylor Swift curse” is a real thing despite the fact they were first saying that tight end Travis Kelce played better with her in attendance.
Swifties were quick to defend the popstar and even claimed that blaming a woman for losses involving grown men playing a game is borderline mysoginistic.
Perhaps the worst take of them all is comparing Swift to Yoko Ono, the woman who the world blames for breaking up The Beatles after she started dating John Lennon.
“I’m sorry but when did Taylor Swift start playing offense in the NFL? And are we really still blaming Yoko Ono for the downfall of The Beatles? It was racist and sexist then and still is today. Let’s stop blaming women when men become inept at their jobs,” one user tweeted.
Chiefs fans blaming Taylor Swift for this loss is ridiculous. Jessica Simpson, Giselle Bündchen, Ciara & now Taylor Swift have had fingers pointed at them for football losses. WOMEN ARE NOT TO BLAME FOR THE FAILURES OF MEN. Hold your team accountable, NOT women.

Chiefs are still in good position
Losing to a divisional opponent when they could have clinched the AFC West and losing four of their last five games is evidently enough to make Chiefs fans point fingers at the wrong people.
Besides, Kansas City is still in a good position to clinch the division with two games remaining, at home against the Cincinnati Bengals followed by a visit to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Another win in front of Swift would also put the Chiefs back at .500 with her in attendance, so everyone can just calm down.
Kelce’s numbers have admittedly suffered, but still, nobody will want to face the Chiefs in the playoffs, regardless of them playing at home or on the road.
