In a whirlwind of pop culture and pigskin, the worlds of music royalty and the NFL have just collided again—but this time, it’s not on stage or on the field. Taylor Swift, who has been in the media spotlight for her connection to Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, just dropped a bombshell about her influence on fellow artist and close friend Ed Sheeran. And the twist? It’s not what fans expected.
According to close sources and newly surfaced interview clips, Swift played a major role in helping Sheeran find his favorite NFL team. During their “Red” and “1989” tour days, Swift reportedly introduced Sheeran to American football, patiently explaining the rules during game nights on the tour bus. At the time, Ed was utterly unfamiliar with the sport, but that quickly changed when Taylor took it upon herself to “convert him.”
“I had no clue what was going on in American football. But she made it fun,” Sheeran recently shared in a behind-the-scenes segment. “She kept shouting at the screen, and next thing I know, I started following the Baltimore Ravens just to keep up with her conversations.”
Yes, you read that right—while most fans assumed Swift had ushered Sheeran into Chiefs Kingdom, he instead found himself drawn to the Ravens. And although Swift seemed supportive at first, insiders say she didn’t hide her slight disappointment at his final pick.
But here’s where it gets truly wild: During the latest stretch of her Eras Tour, Taylor was reportedly caught backstage in a heated discussion about the Chiefs. A crew member who asked to remain anonymous said, “She was frustrated. She said, ‘I love the Chiefs, but I don’t love what they’re doing lately.’” That cryptic statement has sent Swifties and NFL fans into a frenzy of speculation.
What exactly did she mean? Was it about the team’s performance? The fan pressure surrounding her relationship with Kelce? Or was it something deeper?
Adding to the mystery, Swift reportedly turned down an invitation to attend the Chiefs’ training camp this summer, sparking rumors that there may be a rift between her and the team’s inner circle. Meanwhile, Sheeran has been spotted proudly wearing Ravens gear while on tour, saying it makes him feel “connected to something back in the States.”
It’s become clear that Taylor’s NFL loyalties might be shifting—or at least, getting more complicated. Whatever’s brewing behind the scenes, one thing is certain: when Taylor Swift gets involved in the NFL, headlines follow, tensions rise, and fans can’t look away.
And as for her friendship with Sheeran, which has stood the test of fame, music, and now football? Well… when it comes to the Chiefs, she’s…..
