Is Taylor Swift To Blame For The Dolphins – Chiefs Game Being On Peacock?

This Saturday night, it's the Miami Dolphins Kansas City Chiefs game at Arrowhead stadium. The game time temperature is predicted to be around zero degrees and it's likely to be windy, as well. But the biggest complaint I'm hearing here in Southwest Florida is that the game is not on broadcast tv. It's not even on ESPN. The game is to be broadcast on Peacock, a subscription app. And I have a conspiracy theory as to why.

First of all, let me say - they had a choice. One Sunday night game is in Tampa Bay. The temperature will probably be in the mid-50s. That's a good choice if you want an outdoor night game. The other Sunday night game is in Detroit, a domed stadium. But what about the other choices? The 4:30 Saturday game will be in Houston. A dome. Why not flip that game with the Dolphins game, instead of punish the fans in Kansas City? 12 degrees and daylight Saturday afternoon instead of zero degrees and night. Or a Sunday 1 pm game? KC would still be super cold but at least when it's daylight it doesn't feel as bad. Except that there's snow coming on Sunday. Saturday afternoon was probably the best choice for this game. Except - that's not what happened.

I think they're putting the Dolphins - Chiefs game on Saturday night because the NFL has an agreement that, except for the local market, the game will only be on Peacock. There's no free trial on Peacock, if you want the game, you'll likely need to buy the app. And guess which team has a big new fan base that'll do what it takes to watch the game? That's right, the Taylor Swift fandom and the Kansas City Chiefs.

From concerts, to merch, to a concert movie. Taylor Swift is the hottest celebrity in the world right now. And Travis Kelce is one of the hottest NFL players. Chiefs games have have seen an increase in ratings because Taylor Swift is in a suite watching the game. The games she attends are some of the highest rated games of the year. So by the looks of it, the NFL is betting that her fans will subscribe to Peacock to watch this game.

Peacock is $5.99 a month, $1.99 a month if you're a student. There's no free trial, so if you want the app for this game, you'll need to buy it. But will there be a sudden rush to download the app to see Taylor? I doubt it. You see, if Taylor Swift goes to this game, she'll be bundled up in so much winter clothes you may not even recognize her. Even with heaters in the suites, is gonna be cold. You know, I don't blame Taylor for this game only being available on Peacock. I don't even really blame the NFL for it. Where do I point the blame?

The Bills Josh Allen threw 2 interceptions in the end zone, plus a fumble just outside the red zone. Not to mention the poor clock management at the end of the half. The Bills really tried to give that game away, and the Dolphins still lost, costing them a home playoff game and making them travel. A win from the Dolphins last night and the situation could have been different. We may not have even been discussing this. So I blame the Dolphins.

The Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce romance continues, and more cute photos of them emerged this weekend.

They already had what some call a “hard launch” of their relationship when they showed on on Saturday Night Live last week. Taylor has been to four Kansas City Chiefs games. She went to the first one against the Bears in Arrowhead, then went to the Chiefs/Jets game when they played at Met Life Stadium, and then she was at the Thursday night game when the Chiefs played the Broncos and the Chiefs vs Chargers game yesterday.

It was a whirlwind few weeks for Taylor, as her movie, officially called Taylor Swift: The Ears Tour Movie broke major records. I got to see it yesterday and it’s incredible. Also, make a note that it is three hours long just like the real concert. Taylor was in LA for the Eras Tour Movie premiere then she flew right to Kansas City Thursday morning for Travis’ game on Thursday night. Then they flew to NYC together, stayed there for the weekend. She then flew from NYC to LA and Travis went from LA to Philly for the Phillies game with Jason Kelce and then back to Kansas City just in time to record his "New Heights" podcast on Tuesday, which comes out on Wednesdays.

And to think, it all started when Taylor Swift brought The Eras Tour to Arrowhead in Kansas City, Travis revealed on his New Heights podcast that he went to the show and that he made her a friendship bracelet with this phone number. He wanted to give it to her, but unfortunately, she didn’t meet him. Turns out she did meet him after all. In fact, during a press conference this week, Travis said he had the mustache the first time he met Taylor, which means if you're following the timeline of their relationship, they met in the beginning of August. Check out the adorable pics  below.

Travis Kelce's stats since Taylor coming to his games is insane. He's averaging over 100 yards in receptions a game, which is beyond impressive, especially that he's almost 34. Andy Reid loves it so much, he said Taylor is welcome anytime she wants.

You can tell the more games she goes to, the more she gets into it.  I know people say she's an Eagles fan and I'm sure she is, but I don't think she's never been a football fan.  You can tell she's learning, which is fun to watch.

GAH! How cute!  Taylor is wearing a friendship bracelet with 87 on it.  87 is obviously Travis' number.  Reportedly, Patrick Mahomes mom got her the bracelet as a welcome to Chiefs Kingdom gift.  So thoughtful!

I definitely couldn't wait to see them leave the stadium together and they didn't disappoint in their matching red gear speeding off in a getaway CART.  Ha.  Compared to the Getaway Car they drove off in when she was first stopped at his game in September.

Here, they are at a party, which is reportedly at Travis' House. They seem to be watching the Eagles game. And Taylor plants a cute kiss on his cheek.

Andy Reid is on board with Taylor and Travis. Travis' stats since he started dating Taylor are insane. Andy said in the press conference after the game, "Kelce keeps getting better with time. Taylor can stay around all she wants."

It's crazy that Taylor is dating someone who does his own press conferences and has a super popular podcast. Travis spoke to the media in Kansas City last week and he was asked if people are going to dress like him for Halloween, and what they should wear. He didn't disappoint.
