Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Creating Chiefs Role as 'Villain'?

The Kansas City Chiefs have been the gold standard since Patrick Mahomes was made the starter.

Seven straight AFC Championship appearances, three Super Bowl wins, four Super Bowl appearances (soon to be five), and a culture of winning has put the Chiefs on the doorstep of history as they chase a third successive Super Bowl title.

That level of success, coupled with what people perceive as "help" from the officials, has seen many people view the Chiefs as the villains of the NFL.

Add the conspiracy theorists who think Taylor Swift's presence means the fix is in, and ...

Well, as it turns out, tight end Travis Kelce, who was speaking on the New Heights podcast, loves that the rest of the football world sees them as such.

"I love it. I love it," Kelce said. "At one point in time, it wasn't that, I was the 'do you feel bad for 'em guys.' I'm enjoying doing this with the guys together. The guys that we have in there because it just makes us even more of a family. You just circle the wagons, people are saying whatever they want. You just band together, and it makes you appreciate more of what you have because people want what you have."
