BREAKING NEWS: NFL fans accuse Taylor Swift of influencing referees after her ‘meeting’ with an official before Chiefs win
Taylor Swift is under fire as fans speculate that NFL officials are aiding the Kansas City Chiefs to a threepeat this season.
The defending Super Bowl champions improved to 9-0 after defeating the Denver Broncos, 16-14, with a last-second field goal block. Along with the perfect record comes a series of questionable calls that favored the Chiefs.
Before Sunday’s game against Denver, Landon Reinhardt of KSNT Sports reported that Swift had a brief exchange with referee Sarah Thomas. Reinhardt tweeted that the down judge was on a FaceTime call with family and asked for a screenshot of her meeting the singer.
The brief interaction had fans speaking about the ongoing accusations of one-sided officiating, with Swift’s new involvement presenting a new angle.
‘Lol Landon not helping with the chiefs refs allegations,’ one user wrote.

In late September, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes raised questions when he conversed with an official in the tunnel before taking on the Falcons.
The Chiefs benefited from borderline penalties in Weeks 2 and 3, which initially led NFL fanbases to get fed up with the supposed special treatment.
To add fuel to the fire, Mahomes was then spotted talking to a referee during NBC’s broadcast.
Kansas City will hope to keep its perfect record intact when they face the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 17.
