‘Wildest Super Bowl.’ Stars, Swifties, President Biden celebrate Chiefs’ Super Bowl win
Within minutes of the Kansas City Chiefs winning Super Bowl LVIII Sunday, Taylor Nation, a Taylor Swift fan account with nearly 3 million members on X, tweeted this: “KARMA IS THE GUY ON THE CHIEFS.”
Fans got the reference to the night Swift changed the lyrics of her hit “Karma” to mention her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
An army of Swifties was just as happy as Chiefs fans about how the NFL season concluded. They spent months dreaming and talking about it.
“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, 4x GRAMMYS ALBUM OF THE YEAR WINNER, TAYLOR SWIFT AND 3x SUPER BOWL WINNER, TRAVIS KELCE!” tweeted the Eras Tour.

Pretty cool that Taylor Swift looks genuinely thrilled about the win for the Chiefs and her BF.
That's love. ️

And was President Joe Biden thinking the same?
Lately, the president’s political opponents and conservative media outlets have accused the NFL, Democrats, the Chiefs — just about everyone but Swift’s cats — for “rigging” the season.
A Super Bowl win for the Chiefs gave more power to Swift, they suspected, a voice she’s used rarely for politics but when she has, she has supported Democrats.
So shortly after the Chiefs scored a touchdown to win in overtime, Biden’s X account tweeted a portrait of the president with evil rays shooting out of his eyes and the words: “Just like we drew it up.”

With celebrity comes perks, as “Modern Family” star Eric Stonestreet, a Kansas City, Kansas, native, enjoyed after the game, joining the team’s celebration on the field as he did when they won the Super Bowl last year.
During overtime, Chiefs superfan singer Melissa Etheridge, a Leavenworth native, tweeted what many Chiefs fans were thinking: “God help me.”
After the game, she wrote,: “That was the wildest #SuperBowl ride the @Chiefs have ever taken me on. Let’s celebrate #ChiefsKingdom how lucky are we??”

Well, I don't care about the result of this game at all, and I don't care about Taylor Swift....but, I'm very happy for Heidi Gardner
