Vice President JD Vance expressed concern that the NFL could rig or favor games for the Kansas City Chiefs now that Travis Kelce is engaged to Taylor Swift. Kelce and Swift announced their engagement on social media after dating publicly since 2023, and Swift routinely attends Chiefs games. Fans have accused the league of favoritism toward the Patrick Mahomes-led team during its recent dominance. Since Kelce's relationship with Swift began, some conspiracy theorists have suggested the league rigs games to capitalize on Swift's vast fanbase. Vance said the Chiefs must follow the same rules as every other team.
The two began publicly dating in 2023, and Swift has become a fixture at Chiefs games. Throughout the Chiefs' dominance over the last few years, many fans have accused the league of favoritism for the Patrick Mahomes-led team. Since the start of Kelce's relationship with Swift, conspiracy theorists have taken things a step further by suggesting the league rigs games for the Chiefs to maximize its exposure to Swift's massive fanbase.
I will say, as a football fan, as a Cincinnati Bengals fan, Vance said, I hope that the NFL does not put a thumb on the scale for the Kansas City Chiefs just because Travis Kelce is now getting married to maybe the most famous woman in the world. The vice president claimed he was worried the league is planning Super Bowl wedding for the couple. Can't do it, he continued. The Kansas City Chiefs have to follow the same rules as everybody else.
