Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have become the couple of the year. However, not everyone views this relationship favorably, especially Kansas City Chiefs fans, who are convinced that the singer has brought a kind of “curse” to the team. Yes, just as you read it, instead of blaming the more than 50 men on the roster for the Chiefs’ recent losses, the fans have decided to blame a woman, who has no direct involvement in the game, for the terrible player performance.
And although it may sound ridiculous, because it is, it should not come as a surprise that once again women are to blame for something that falls entirely on the shoulders of a man. However, that has not stopped the Kansas City fans from pouring all their hatred towards the singer, who has done nothing more than attend in public to support her boyfriend.
Taylor Swift Has Become the New Yoko Ono
Through social networks, Taylor Swift has not stopped receiving negative comments from NFL fans who have not held anything back and have brought out the most macho side. And although thousands of Swifties have gone to work to defend their idol, it has not been enough to prevent Taylor from being renamed by the Chiefs fandom as the new Yoko Ono.
The reason does not need to be explained, since we all know that story that reminds us time and time again that Yoko Ono was to blame for John Lennon’s decision to separate from The Beatles. Well, something similar is what Chiefs fans think is happening with Travis Kelce, who, from his perspective, would be so absorbed in his relationship with Tay that he would have put the team on the back burner.
But if you think that the problem is only with the team’s followers, you are wrong, because this absurd theory has been supported and replicated even by renowned sports journalists, such as Craig Cartón. Recently, Cartón has claimed that Kelce has been hit so hard by love that Taylor could have him distracted from the playing field. Be that as it may, the reality is that the singer seems to be involved in a spiral of hatred that could increase if the team fails to win the playoffs and without a doubt someone has to stop this situation.
