Former Philadelphia Eagles fan Taylor Swift has obviously changed her NFL allegiance to the Kansas City Chiefs now that she’s dating tight end Travis Kelce.
“I have a lyric that says, ‘With my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door.’ I saw some people wondering if it was the band the Eagles or the team the Eagles, and I love the band the Eagles, but guys, come on,” Swift said during a concert this past May. “I’m from Philly. Of course it’s the team.”
Of course, her dating Travis makes it easy for her to remain an Eagles fan, what with his brother Jason Kelce playing for Philly.
What most people don’t realize, and is sending Taylor Swift fans into a tizzy, is that the songstress actually owned a Kansas City Chiefs jersey long before she began dating Travis Kelce.
Back on Sept. 23, 2015, then Chiefs backup quarterback Chase Daniel shared a photo to Twitter of himself, his wife Hillary and T-Swizzle backstage holding up a Chiefs jersey with the number 89 on it.

“Is this real?” one Swiftie commented Monday after discovering the photo.
“Real!” Chase Daniel replied.
Naturally, this revelation led numerous Taylor Swift fans to quote a lyric one of her songs, Invisible String.
“Isn’t it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?”
Swift will also soon be in possession of a Cincinnati Bearcats basketball jersey, which has fans dying to know if she will be attending some of their games this fall and winter. Kelce played his college football at the University of Cinncinnati.
“Well today I received the order for Tavis Kelce [sic],” wrote Nancy Roth on Facebook. “UC Jorden [sic] men’s basketball jerseys sets for him and his brother and two friends, and of course his girl.”
Not everyone was thrilled about the discovery though.
“So much for privacy. Wow,” one person commented.
“These were probably meant to be gifts,” another person wrote. “You don’t have the right to make someone else’s order public just because a high profile person ordered it. Show some respect for others and respect their privacy.”
