Skip Bayless wanted to see Taylor Swift’s teardrops on her Chiefs-themed guitar.The controversial former Fox Sports host took glee in the Chiefs losing to the Eagles in Super Bowl 2025 and the effect it would have on Swift, who is dating Kansas City star tight end Travis Kelce.“It was all Eagles, all the time and I loved how much they put the Chiefs back in their places,” Bayless said in a YouTube video posted after Sunday’s 40-22 rout.“Stomped on their growing pride, their spillover pride.
Shut up the Swifties.Cry, Taylor, cry.
I predicted this was gonna happen.They got even tonight for what happened in Glendale two years ago.
Way to go Eagles, and condolences to Cowboy nation.”Bayless, 73, is not a fan of Swift and her fans — the Swifties — and has not been shy about vocalizing his contrarian view about the pop star.When Kelce and Swift went public with their relationship in 2023, he said she came off as “stagey and fake” and even wondered if she had become a distraction.“I’m sorry, but when she’s up in the box she comes off as stagey and fake to me,” Bayless said at the time.“I just don’t buy it.
My radar detector’s saying, ‘Nope, nope, nope.’”Bayless then upped his hating this year by accusing the NFL before the AFC Championship game of plans to rig the game to ensure Swift would attend Super Bowl 2025.‘The memo will go out, just as it did last week, ‘Make sure Taylor Swift makes it to New Orleans for the Super Bowl,” Bayless said on Jan.20.
“Without her, the NFL loses millions and millions of viewers who will tune in, mostly to see what she’s wearing up in that Superdome luxury box.”He added: “This is the Taylor Swift effect.She is a one-woman ratings juggernaut.
‘Protect her! Prop her up! Award her boyfriend’s team with phantom penalties.Get them to New Orleans! The NFL needs the Swifties.
Protect ’em! Prop ’em up! Make sure the Chiefs advance.'”Well, the Chiefs advanced and Swift indeed ...
