Taylor Swift remains deafening silent after Kansas City Chiefs parade shooting
Taylor Swift has remained deafeningly silent following the deadly Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting that has left one fan dead.
This year Taylor has drawn attention from football fans everywhere as she has often been displayed on the jumbotron at the NFL games and was even featured in a Super Bowl advertisement alongside Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. As the 34-year-old singer has become a symbol for the team’s red jerseys and NFL football in recent months, many fans were disappointed that she has chosen to remain silent following the tragic event.
On February 14th a deadly shooting broke out during a Super Bowl parade in Kansas City leaving a mom dead and 21 people injured, including eight children. The shooting began just after 2 p.m. when the parade kicked off. Videos from the scene show people screaming and running for cover as multiple shots were fired one after another during the victory celebration. Since then, two armed armed suspects have been taken into custody.
