Im sure most Kansas City fans not liking Brittney Mahomes is steeped in misogyny and them perceiving her as unattractive and therefore not deserving of their quarterback. (which would then lead me into a whole tangent on the homoerotic para-social relationship most of these fans have with their favorite athletes.) But something about her is a little..off putting? You can tell she wants "it" without having "it" and playing lapdog in fleeting relationship with Swift is proof of that.

patrick mahomes seems like the most lowkey regular guy on earth — he doesnt seem like a Personality like shailene woodley's antivax ex-boyfriend, or Lebron or barb Kevin Durant. the same cannot be said for his wife and brother who seem rather insistent on being in the spotlight.

It sometimes shocks me how good he is; his affect seems like it would match up with more of the talent level of Kirk Cousins

Make your husband grill as many random meats as possible until we figure out what it likely was

It's absolutely steeped in misogyny. It kills me that I have become a Brittney M defender online because she is absolutely cringe....but, like if you gave me that much money as a twenty-something I would have been try hard and cringe too! She gets dragged by people for being "obnoxious" at games when I know those same people have also been super drunk and ridic at a game at some point in their life. It's a KC rite of passage, why are we mad she's one of us?

Long story short, she's irritating but the sheer level of vitriol people direct at her for what are fairly normal things is insane to me.

"Give me one good reason why I should know who Brittany Mahomes is. That was a trap. You can’t!" I had to stop reading, copy and paste this and come here to the comments. ONE NATION UNDER HUNTER HARRIS

Ok but the real celeb couple I want commentary on is Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippin

Listen there are so many single Chiefs boys that I think Taylor will hook her friends up with BUT what is currently seems to be brewing is that one of her Backup singers/friends has been insta flirting with Travis’s best friend which is fun

as a DMV girlie who thought i'd never finally see the day when DC's team had a name change (commanders is boring but oh well), i find it interesting that i've seen zero current commentary about when/whether KC will do a name change to be un-racist, now that they're so in the cultural spotlight even for non sports fans...possibly this commentary is out there and i just haven't seen it.

Best songwriter of her generation? Noooo! Sza, Mitski, Frank Ocean, etc etc, etc... Forever and ever amen

Taylor gets her vintage chiefs gear from locally owned KC shops, like Westside Storey! It’s been great for their business.

The WAGs are the most intriguing thing about this Super Bowel to be honest. Olivia Culpo is engaged to one of the best players on the 49ers. Not nearly the fame of Taylor, but her and the other 49ers WAGs go hard. Also, the wife of one of the 49ers players is the one who made the custom KC jackets for Taylor and Brittany.

(unpopular opinion) GO NINERS.

In football world we're not really underdogs, but we're definitely underdogs in the culture. I love this for us. We're gonna hand Taylor her first ever loss. And then she will write a song about it.

Both Chiefs kickers are somehow vocally anti-abortion, so if one of the Haim sisters could turn them, I'm all for it.

The Brittany Mahomes annoyance strikes me as like 85% misogyny, although she is objectively kind of annoying! But a lot of it is her voice and the fact that she acts excited at football games. And if you're a woman, criticizing her is a signal you're not like a LAME woman. So, yeah. I'm low key enjoying her situationship with T. Swift. It's as though the high-school girl everyone makes fun of suddenly has a celebrity BFF.

Ooh. Anti-abortion. That’s a turnoff. But yes I agree—if a Haim could step in and transform, absolutely.
