She's a fun guest star on the sixth season of a wildly popular TV show starring the NFL and featuring the Kansas City Chiefs.

A recent New York Times analysis even revealed that those seemingly constant camera pans to Swift have amounted to less than 25 seconds of airtime each week, and these are three-plus-hour broadcasts. And her name is barely mentioned by announcers, if at all.

Her sudden crossover on American broadcast television each weekend has naturally brought new football viewers into the fold.

"Football is awesome, it turns out," Swift told Time Magazine. "I've been missing out my whole life." Maybe some of her fans will end up feeling the same way.

The most famous woman in the world has essentially shown up as a guest star on Season 6 of a successful television series, has barely delivered a single line, and is all anyone can talk about. 

"You did that shit!" a fan yelled at Swift after the Chiefs-Ravens game. Swift, who does lots of shit, but not any shit relating to this football game, responded graciously: "I didn’t do anything!"

To root for the Chiefs is to root for Reid, Mahomes, and Kelce, including the fact that they are human beings. All of them have significant others attend their games, all of whom are liable to do things like run down to the field to hug them after a big win.

If Taylor makes a halftime show appearance to perform, great. If Kelce continues promoting covid-19 vaccinations, even better. If Taylor endorses Joe Biden, superb. If the Kansas City Chiefs finish second in the SuperBowl, that is their fault, not her fault. If the Kansas City Chiefs win, that is their doing, not her doing. 

If you do not want to see her at the game, weigh her appearance against real bad things that happen during a game: a trillion loud annoying commercials, concussions, fractured/broken bones, referees rigging plays,  your preferred team losing, bad music selected for halftime, endless gambling ads, overbearing/shitty play-by-play announcers, etc. That is the risk you take when you watch the game, shit you like and shit you don't like happens, with many surprises in between.

Taylor is one of the great surprises, as is Brock Purdy, as is yet another Superbowl appearance for Andy Reid and Pat Mahomes.

If you don't want to see her at the game, fine, then don't watch, change the channel. 

I turned off Trump's speeches and read them later. 

Turn off the Superbowl and read EPSN's play by play later. 

Your choice.
