“Look, we don’t make excuses,” Reid said. “But all the outside noise, all the distractions—sometimes it gets bigger than the game itself.” His comment immediately sparked debate, with some interpreting it as a subtle acknowledgment that the constant attention on Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce may have impacted team focus.

Social media erupted following Reid’s statement, with fans arguing over whether the Chiefs’ performance was truly affected by the pop star’s presence. Supporters defended Swift, calling the claims baseless, while critics insisted that the relentless media circus surrounding her and Kelce overshadowed the team’s preparation.
Despite the controversy, Reid emphasized that the Chiefs must look ahead and learn from their mistakes. “We’ve got work to do, and we’ll be back stronger,” he concluded. However, the debate over Swift’s supposed influence on the game is far from over, and fans are left wondering how the Chiefs will respond next season.
