Even Taylor Swift, the devoted Chiefs fan and girlfriend of Travis Kelce, displayed her excitement after Isiah Pacheco’s touchdown. The pop star enthusiastically flashed 10 fingers, showing support for the Chiefs running back, who sports the No. 10 jersey.
However, tensions were on a high note at Orchard Park as some Bills fans displayed hostility towards Taylor Swift by burning her head cutout. Swift defused the situation by blowing kisses at the unruly crowd, and the Chiefs’ win marked a full stop to those unwelcoming fans.
