NFL rules analyst Dean Blandino just dropped a bombshell, and get this: Taylor Swift thinks the Philadelphia Eagles’ infamous “tush push” play absolutely sucks. Yeah, you heard that right, straight from the pop superstar herself. The very play that helped her dad’s old team beat her now-husband’s Chiefs in the Super Bowl? She’s completely over it.
From Sidelines to Wedding Invites: A “Tush Push” Confession
Blandino spilled the tea on how he got the exclusive scoop, recounting a conversation where he and Swift connected earlier in the season at an Eagles-Chiefs game. He was apparently going off about the “tush push,” laying out all his complaints about the controversial play. And Swift? She later agreed with his entire take, flat out declaring that the “tush push” ‘sucks.’ This wasn’t just idle chatter either. The connection was so strong that Swift actually invited Blandino to her and Travis Kelce’s wedding. Talk about making an impression with your NFL rules analysis! It’s clear she’s not alone in her feelings, with plenty of fans whose teams have been beaten by the Eagles using that exact play probably echoing her sentiments. For his part, Travis Kelce has played it cool, never publicly complaining about the play or supporting a ban. But you know, when your significant other speaks, sometimes you just let them voice their strong opinions! The Eagles aren’t even scheduled to play the Chiefs this regular season, unless we somehow get a Super Bowl rematch, so Swift won’t have to see it much. Though, those Buffalo Bills are still out there calling the play often despite safety concerns.
Stadium Upgrade Queen, But Her Fandom Is All Chiefs Now
It’s kind of wild when you think about Swift’s long-standing connection to the Eagles. Her dad first met Andy Reid way back when Big Red was coaching the Eagles in Philly, and she had ties to the area for years, even weaving some song lyrics referencing them into her work. But her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has clearly shifted her fandom firmly to Kansas City. Despite her strong feelings about the “tush push” and her new allegiance, Swift did leave a pretty significant mark on Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles’ home turf. During a recent stadium tour, a fan recounted that their guide explained Swift wanted the press box windows to open so her Eras Tour fans could hear better during her Philly stop. She was reportedly so passionate about this improvement that she ended up funding the renovation herself. So now, on every game day, reporters can actually thank the world’s most famous pop star for getting some fresh air while they work. C.J. Gardner-Johnson might have tried to goad Swift and the Swifties after Super Bowl LIX, but you just have to respect someone who is ten toes down for her team and isn’t afraid to call out a rival’s signature, Super Bowl-winning move.
Ultimately, Swift’s blunt opinion on the Eagles’ key offensive play just underlines exactly where her loyalties lie these days. It’s a full-on Chiefs Kingdom vibe for the superstar, no matter her past connections to Philly.
