On Sunday night at Lambeau Field, the Kansas City Chiefs succumbed to the Green Bay Packers.
The final scoreline of 29-17 has left Chiefs fans pondering the team’s playoff prospects as they now find themselves trailing three other contenders in the race for the AFC’s coveted top seed.
Adding to the defeat is the presence of Chiefs QB Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who is believed to be a purported good luck charm for the Chiefs.
While Swift has previously attended games that ended in Chiefs victories, this contest against the Packers marked the first time the team faced defeat in her presence.
Not one to miss a beat, sports commentator Skip Bayless took to Twitter to voice his skepticism about Swift’s supposed good luck charm.
Bayless wrote, “Wait, the Chiefs lost in a national TV game with HER on the scene, up in a box? She went all the way to Green Bay, Wisconsin for THAT?”
