”YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT TO USE TAYLOR FOR CLOUT.”
The Seattle Seahawks had the most convincing win of their season on Sunday Night Football, dominating the Kansas City Chiefs to establish themselves back in the race in the NFC West — while also proving they can still beat some of the league’s best. The 20-3 win saw the Seahawks register over 400 yards of offense, Jaxson Smith-Njigba went off, and when the dust settled, the social media team chose violence.
This is the most benign flex imaginable. The team simply poked fun at the friendship bracelets which have become part of the Taylor Swift ethos, heightened when it comes to football by the fact that Travis Kelce famously said he made a bracelet for Taylor, which jumpstarted their entire relationship leading up to their marriage earlier this year.
NFL teams routinely mock each other with posts after wins, but this one really, really hit a nerve with the Swifties.
THIS WILL MOST LIKELY COST YOU THE PLAYOFFS.
IMAGINE FINALLY WINNING A GAME.
YOU GUYS WON’T WIN ANOTHER GAME FOR THE SEASON.
YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT TO USE TAYLOR FOR CLOUT.
YOU GUYS ARE MESSING WITH THE WRONG FANDOM.
KARMA WILL GET YOU.
WE STILL HAVE MORE SUPER BOWL WINS THAN YOU.
WE SHALL BE THERE FOR EVERY MISFORTUNE.
YOU DISRESPECTED OUR LADY FOR NO GOOD REASON.
It goes on, and on, and on like this. There’s a handful of people who identify as Swifties saying that they think it was funny, and this is just sports — but far, far more who took this as a declaration of war. Taylor Swift fans are able to channel their love with the fury of a thousand suns, and all I want in this world now is for a Seahawks-Chiefs Super Bowl to see this hit levels previously unheard of.
