Many have been wondering if Taylor Swift will attend the upcoming Kansas City Chiefs vs Buffalo Bills playoff game to support her boyfriend. Although there has been no confirmation, Kyle Brandt says he is "sure she will show up."

"Frankly, I think Taylor Swift has shown up to more Chiefs games than Travis Kelce," he said on Friday's broadcast of 'Good Morning Football' while screaming into the camera, clearly filled with emotion.

When looking at stat comparisons, Travis Kelce did perform significantly better last season than he had this season. In fact, in 2022 he had 12 touchdowns, with this year only scoring five. Kelce also had, 1338 receiving yards in 2022, but only 984 receiving yards in 2023. Plus, he had 17 fewer receptions this year than last year.

Kyle Brandt then went on to claim that "Taylor Swift has more in common with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills" than she does with the Kansas City Chiefs as he said both the pop icon and the Bills quarterback "have loyal friends who are beloved fearless icons and who always have their backs" and that Taylor and Josh both had their "moment of triumph taken from them, but it made them bigger, and it made them stronger."

The NFL host took things a step further by then comparing Swifties with the Buffalo Bills Mafia, stating that both fan bases are "alarmingly loyal masses who will rally fiercely with bracelets and broken tables".
