If you’re skeptical that the Chiefs would ever run a play designed by superstar singer Taylor Swift, consider this:

During his days in Green Bay, Chiefs coach Andy Reid once called a play that was designed by a janitor.

So yeah, it doesn’t seem a stretch to think Reid would take a play from Swift now that we know she has scribbled some designs for boyfriend Travis Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

When that bit of news came out last week, some Buffalo Bills fans were filled with a sense of foreboding. The Bills have been eliminated by the Chiefs in three of the last four postseasons.

That includes a couple of brutal losses, the 13-seconds game and last year’s divisional playoff contest that featured a late missed field-goal in Buffalo.

The thought of the Chiefs beating Buffalo on a play called “Shake It Off” or “Blank Space” that was the brainchild of Swift was too much for some of Bills Mafia on social media.

Here is what they were saying on X.
