This one is for the Swifties.

Taylor Swift took the NFL world by storm last year after the megastar began dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift’s appearances at Chiefs games took center stage, including during Super Bowl LVIII.
It became apparent quickly that Swift engaged in the game deeper than a superficial level. Seemingly everyone asked about the superstar singer said she dove all in on her fandom.
During a recent interview with NBC’s Chris Simms previewing next week’s season kickoff, Patrick Mahomes noted that Swift has even been drawing up plays.
“I think it’s been cool to see the girls and the women that have really embraced watching football,” Mahomes said of Swift. “I know being a girl dad, how cool it is for me to see like these little girls — these daughters — and how much they’re loving to spend time with their dad, watching football. And then meeting Taylor, realizing how genuine and cool she is. I think that’s been special to me because she’s, like you said, the most famous person in the world, she could not be (genuine).
“And she’s really interested in football, and she asks a lot of great questions. Started drawing up plays. We might have to put one in.”
We know that Andy Reid is willing to take plays from anywhere. He’s always encouraging players to bring him ideas. He’s swiped a play from the 1948 Rose Bowl. He borrowed one from a Green Bay janitor while with the Packers.
Why not see what Swift comes up with?
We’re getting way too far over our skis here, but if the Chiefs do put in a Swift-designed play, I hope they save it for the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl in a pivotal moment. That’d be better than a corn dog.
