Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was in attendance at Arrowhead Stadium, her ninth Chiefs game of the season. Dating back to Christmas 2023, the Grammy-winning singer has watched Kansas City win 14 games in a row, including last season’s playoffs.
Amid all the recent success the Chiefs have seen, many fans are starting to get annoyed with seeing Swift on their televisions, while others believe the officials have a part to play in the new dynasty.
Former Bills wide receiver Andre Reed would agree with both parties. On Tuesday, Reed joined “The Jim Rowe Show” to discuss the AFC championship.
“When you go into Kansas City, you gotta beat a lot of people. You gotta beat the team. You gotta beat the fans. You gotta beat the refs. You gotta beat Taylor Swift.”@Andre_Reed83 on The Ref Show in the AFC Championship pic.twitter.com/ZsD0xW7FEt

When asked about a couple of the officials’ decisions, Reed proceeded to drag Swift into the conversation. “The bottom line is you just gotta go out there and not play against the refs, but you kind of are to a certain point,” Reed said.
“A lot of Chiefs are going to tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about. That might be the case. But when you go into Kansas City, you got to beat a lot of people.
You got to beat the team. You got to beat the fans. You got to beat the refs. You got to beat Taylor Swift. You gotta beat everybody.”
Reed was a fourth-round pick in the 1985 NFL draft and played for the Bills from 1985-1999. He finished his career with 951 catches for 13,198 yards and 87 touchdowns and was named to seven Pro Bowls. He helped guide Buffalo to four straight Super Bowl appearances, tallying 27 total catches in the big game (4th most ever).
Last season, Kelce (31) was able to surpass Reed in career Super Bowl receptions. The Chiefs will battle the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9 in New Orleans, Louisiana. And yes, Swift is expected to be there.
