Jets owner Woody Johnson welcomed Taylor Swift to New York on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium, which sparked mixed reactions from the team’s fans.
Rumors have been circulating that Swift, 33, is dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, also 33, and she was present for the second consecutive Sunday to watch him play.
During New York’s 23-20 loss to Kansas City, Johnson and his son Jack took the opportunity to pose for photos with the pop icon.
Johnson, dressed in a white dress shirt, black sport coat, Jets hat, and a diamond chain with his name on it, shared the picture on X (formerly Twitter). The caption read, “Yup you guessed it… we’re Swifties too.”
Unfortunately, Johnson’s post angered some fans who were already upset about a controversial call that occurred during the game. The call involved defensive holding on Sauce Gardner and changed the course of the game.
As a result of the call, some fans began to speculate that the NFL wanted to favor the Chiefs due to Swift’s presence. The conspiracy theory gained traction when the NFL’s official Instagram bio referenced the Chiefs being “Swifties” and was later deleted.
The league explained that they frequently update their bios and profile imagery based on current events and cultural moments. They emphasized that the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce news generated significant positive feedback.
Irked Jets fans pleaded with Johnson to delete his photo with Swift and criticized his lack of sensitivity following the team’s devastating loss. One frustrated fan tweeted, “you cost us the game, if that’s the case.”
Another fan expressed their discontent, stating, “Delete this, no pulse on the team or the fans. Ridiculous.”
One angry fan boldly proclaimed, “If you’re not the most tone-deaf owner in football, I don’t know who is. You just don’t get it. Sell the team.”
However, some fans took a more lighthearted approach and found amusement in the picture and the Swift-related NFL conspiracies.
One fan jokingly commented, “I see what you’re doing. Good play. If the NFL thinks you’re a Swifty, then the refs will chill with the flags. Smart man.”
The Jets suffered a loss to the Chiefs despite a strong performance from quarterback Zach Wilson. The team currently holds a 1-3 record and will face the Broncos in their next game.
