Taylor Swift turns 34 as we speak.
What to present the girl who has every part, besides a historical past of secure relationships?
Would-be hubby Travis Kelce can bounce out of her cake.
Taylor has a maintain over the NFL not seen since Park Avenue was able to go to the Supreme Court towards Tom Brady.
After all, have you ever ever seen Swift on TV after the Chiefs make a foul play, lose, or permit the opposing group to attain? We solely see her cheering. That’s gotta be within the contract someplace.
Perhaps Roger Goodell presents the Kansas City Swifties a reversal on the Kadarius Toney offside name. The Commissioner is all-powerful. There is nothing to cease him from overturning the result of Kansas City’s loss to Buffalo and giving the Chiefs the victory.
Let them eat cake, proper Roger?
Hey, 2 billion Swifties can’t be mistaken.
It’s extra possible than not Swift returns to Foxy Foxborough Sunday because the Okay.C. Swifties go to as 9.5-point favorites to face the mathematically eradicated New England Patriots.
But there will likely be no sellout crowd seated hours earlier than Swift struts into the stadium by way of the participant/VIP entrance.
Dads received’t be singing together with their daughters within the rain outdoors Gillette Stadium.
No strains will type within the car parking zone days prematurely for swag.
This time, TIME’s Person of the Year will likely be relegated to lounge-act stats. “Taylor and Brittany” showing dwell within the visiting proprietor’s field Sunday at 1 p.m.
Not even the potential look of Swift may save this sport from being relegated out of its unique Monday night time slot.
Who desires the primary sport in Gillette Stadium historical past that includes followers within the stands and the Patriots eradicated from the playoffs to air prime time?
Best this one be hidden early on the ultimate Sunday afternoon earlier than Christmas Eve.
Among her many skills, Swift was in a position to pinpoint the way forward for the Patriots in 2023 with time-travel accuracy again in 2015 by way of the lyrics of “Bad Blood.” The track was co-written with Kendrick Lamar.
‘Cause child, now we bought unhealthy blood
You comprehend it was mad love
So have a look what you’ve executed
‘Cause child, now we bought unhealthy blood (hey!)
Now we bought issues
And I don’t suppose we will clear up ’em
You made a very deep minimize
And child, now we bought unhealthy blood (hey!)
“Bad Blood” just isn’t a couple of breakup with one in all her many callous boyfriends.
Rather this track’s which means is much extra insidious, and cuts a lot nearer to One Patriot Place than any of her different a number of hits.
Swift informed GQ that “Bad Blood” is about “loss of friendship” and a “deep cut” allegedly regarding her profession being undermined by somebody she trusted. At the time, many speculated Swift was alluding to her fallout with Katy Perry.
Those two have lengthy since made up. In a lot the identical method Brady returned to Foxy-boro to kick off this season by ringing the lighthouse bell.
These days, it seems the bell has tolled for Bill Belichick. It’s not unreasonable to consider the reporting of Tom E. Curran, who informed the NBC Sports Boston viewers on Monday that the Hoodie was deemed kaput by Robert Kraft following the group’s 10-6 loss to the Colts in Germany.
Das Boot received’t come till after the season.
Likewise, Swift has not been ready save the Chiefs from themselves. The group is 3-2 with Swift in attendance. Both Swift and the Swifties are using a two-game dropping streak. For those that concern themselves with such issues, the Chiefs are 2-3 towards the unfold with Taylor in the home. And Kansas City has averaged simply 15.5 factors in her previous 4 appearances.
Leave it to the Patriots to screw issues up for everybody in Foxy-boro pulling off the upset this week. No doubt that can flow into much more “Bad Blood” all through the physique of Patriots Nation.
Did you must do that?
I used to be pondering that you would be trusted
Did you must destroy
What was shining? Now it’s all rusted
Did you must hit me
Where I’m weak? Baby, I couldn’t breathe
And rub it in so deep
Salt within the wound such as you’re laughing proper at me
Oh, it’s so unhappy to consider the nice occasions
You and I
‘Cause child, now we bought unhealthy blood
You comprehend it was mad love
So have a look what you’ve executed
‘Cause child, now we bought unhealthy blood (hey!)
Maybe Taylor will greet these hearty souls and Chiefs followers who present up on Sunday with a re-mixed model of the “Bad Blood” video that includes Kraft, Belichick, and a refrain of some million Patriots followers who now not belief in Bill.
The love that after crammed Foxy-boro and returned for Swift’s three exhibits this previous May has lengthy since evaporated. Swift’s emotional connection together with her followers matches the feels New England had for the Patriots throughout their Score of Success.
Winning six Super Bowls in 19 years will do this.
Now, Our Father’s Patriots are again.
Patriots followers who now not worship on the altar of the Patriot Way are pressured into loyalty assessments, or quizzed about what number of occasions they went to Schaefer/Sullivan/Foxboro Stadium to look at Tony Eason or Hugh Millen play like Mac Jones.
Somehow, this model of inept, tepid, flaccid, mistake-filled soccer and placing the way forward for the group within the arms of Bailey Zappe doesn’t transfer the needle. Neither do the grunts and mumbles of the pinnacle coach, who stuffs his ranks with DNA and cronies. And acts like a petulant little one each time he doesn’t get his method.
Shocking.
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, “We didn’t leave the Patriots. The Patriots left us.”
The Patriots are mercifully on the 2024 draft clock.
So shake it off.
If solely Swift had a track about that?
