The Kansas City Chiefs, led by head coach Andy Reid, are currently experiencing a tough phase in their season. With two consecutive losses and three defeats in their last five games, the team’s usual winning momentum seems to have stalled.
Even the presence of their supposed lucky charm, singer Taylor Swift, at Arrowhead Stadium couldn’t turn the tide in their recent game against the Buffalo Bills, which they lost 17-20 amidst a controversial decision.
Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of Chiefs player Travis Kelce, has been seen in the stands at Arrowhead Stadium six times since their relationship began. During these games, the Chiefs have won four times and lost twice.
Initially, Swift’s presence seemed to bring good luck, with the team securing victories in the first four games she attended, including impressive wins against the Chicago Bears and the New York Jets. However, the recent two defeats have led to questions about whether her attendance distracts the team, particularly Kelce, although this is likely not the case.
Apart from the superstitions surrounding Swift’s attendance, the real issue seems to lie with the performance of Kansas City’s receivers. The team’s receivers, including Skyy Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney, and Rashee Rice, have been struggling with dropped passes from quarterback Patrick Mahomes, often missing what should have been secure catches.
