The Chiefs gave a sly nod to Taylor Swift in their latest social-media post
Even if you’re not a fan of singer Taylor Swift, chances are you’re aware that she released a new double-album last week.
And you may have heard that two of the songs are about her main squeeze, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Here are some of the lyrics from “The Alchemy” that clearly reference Kelce and the Chiefs, who won Super Bowl LVIII in February.
So when I touch down
Call the amateurs and
Cut ‘em from the team
Ditch the clowns, get the crown
Baby I’m the one to beat
Cause the sign on your heart
Said it’s still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?
These blokes warm the benches
We been on a winning streak
That last line appeared Tuesday in a post by the Chiefs on X (formerly Twitter) as the team shared a photo of the franchise’s four Lombardi trophies. Three have been won in the last five years, including the past two seasons.
Chances are, you knew that too, right?

That wink emoji tells you the Chiefs’ social media team knew what it was doing. Not everyone got the reference, of course, but Swift’s fans loved it.
This is a small sample of what they were saying on X.
OH MY GOD THE CHIEFS ARE TAYVIS NATIONING ON MAIN RN

Who gave @taylornation13 control of the Chiefs' social media accounts?

Is this the Sports Division of the Tortured Poets Department?
