JD Vance warned that the NFL might tilt outcomes in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs because Travis Kelce is engaged to Taylor Swift. Vance framed his concern as a Cincinnati Bengals fan and urged fans to demand fairness if referees appear unusually favorable to the Chiefs. He expressed worry about a potential "Super Bowl wedding" driven by publicity. The claim rests partly on beliefs that Kelce may be leaving the Chiefs and that Swift is a favorite to headline the 2026 halftime show. The Chiefs have, however, been frequent contenders and appeared in five Super Bowls since 2011. Super Bowl 50 is scheduled for February 8, 2026, in Santa Clara, California.
I will say as a football fan − as a Cincinnati Bengals fan − 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,
You guys can't sort of have this, I'm worried they're going to have a Super Bowl wedding thing this season,
Can't do it. The Kansas City Chiefs have to follow the same rules as everybody else.
So if we see the refs being particularly friendly to Kansas City Chiefs players, then I think all football fans should be willing to push back on the NFL and say, look, you guys got to be fair. Just because Travis is getting married to Taylor, you still can't put your thumb on the scale for the Kansas City Chiefs.
