FOX News guest wishes for Chiefs' downfall because of Taylor Swift
Clay Travis, who founded the sports media website OutKick, has had a go at Taylor Swift during a FOX News appearance for showing up at Kansas City Chiefs games. Chatting on Media Buzz with Howard Kurtz, Travis laid into Swift and even said he hopes she'll be bad luck for the Chiefs.
"I hope that she's the Yoko Ono of the Kansas City Chiefs and she destroys their dynasty and puts them down in flames," he said.
He also made it clear he's rooting for the other team. "That's why I am proudly supporting the San Francisco 49ers, America's team, on Sunday against Kansas City, Patrick Mahomes, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Go Niners."

Travis has compared Swift to Yoko Ono before, suggesting she might mess up the Chiefs like Ono is said to have done with the Beatles. He first tweeted this idea on December 10th, asking if Swift was the "Yoko Ono" of the Chiefs.

"The Chiefs are not a good football team and Travis Kelce looks like he should retire," he posted. "He's been worthless the last seven or eight weeks.
"The double worthless Pfizer shots may have caught up with him. Either that or Taylor Swift is the Chiefs Yoko Ono. Maybe both."
After Kansas City's 17-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game, which led them to the Super Bowl once more, Travis turned his focus to the Ravens. "Triple coverage?! That's just atrocious. The Taylor Swift Super Bowl is here. You failed America, Ravens," he commented.
Many football fans reckon that Swift's presence has shifted attention from the game itself, arguing that she's shown too often and detracts from the match experience. However, the New York Times reported that during games attended by Swift, the pop superstar was on screen for less than 25 seconds of the three-hour matches.
Swift will be kicking off the Asian leg of her "Eras Tour" in Tokyo, while her partner Kelce prepares for Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. There's been speculation about whether she'll wrap up her final show in time for the Big Game, but all eyes will undoubtedly be on her as one of music's biggest stars.
If she does show up at Super Bowl LVIII, commentators will have a lot to say about her, no matter how the game ends.
