The Chiefs’ season may be wobbling — but on Sunday night, one Broncos rookie decided to poke the biggest beehive in America: Taylor Swift’s fanbase.
And he did it by taunting Travis Kelce directly after Denver’s shock 22–19 victory.
The bold move?
A now-deleted Instagram Story that instantly went nuclear.
The Taunt: “Tell Swift Put Me on a Song — RIGHT NOW.”
Shortly after the game ended, 23-year-old Broncos cornerback Jahdae Barron posted a photo of himself defending Kelce — the tight end mid-stumble, Barron flying into the frame — and wrote underneath:
“Tell Swift put me on a song.
RIGHT NOW.”
Within minutes, screenshots exploded across X.
By the next morning? The Story had mysteriously vanished from Barron’s page.
But the damage — and the headlines — were already done.
Swifties React: “He better pray.”
If Barron thought he was poking fun at Kelce… he accidentally woke up the wrong army.
Swifties flooded social media with warnings, jokes, and thin-veiled threats:
- “If he’s not afraid of the Swifties… he should be.”
- “It would be the ONLY thing he’s famous for.”
- “Did he forget the CJ Gardner-Johnson incident??”
That last comment referencing the Eagles safety who once mocked Swift fans — and endured weeks of internet chaos because of it.
In other words:
This rookie has no idea what storm he just summoned.
Why This Stings So Much for Kelce
The timing couldn’t be worse.
Kelce, 36, is already under pressure as the Chiefs’ season spirals into a very un-Chiefs-like 5–5 record. After Sunday’s loss, he declined to speak with the media — breaking NFL policy — and made it clear he didn’t care about breaking the franchise touchdown record that night.
“I could care less about that right now.”
He’s frustrated, exhausted, and watching playoff hopes slip away.
So seeing an opponent use his relationship as a punchline?
The moment hit a nerve with fans — and likely with Kelce himself.
Meanwhile, Mahomes Takes Accountability
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, 30, didn’t bother sugar-coating anything:
“It starts with me.”
He admitted inconsistency, misfires, and communication issues have cost them games — and climbing back into the division race will be a brutal task.
The Chiefs now face the 8–2 Colts in a must-win matchup that could define the rest of their season.
The Bigger Picture: Broncos Rising, Chiefs Reeling, Swifties Ready for War
Barron may have intended a light jab…
But when Taylor Swift is involved, nothing stays light.
Not for long.
Not online.
And definitely not when the Swifties catch the scent.
A rookie cornerback vs. the world’s most powerful fanbase?
Only one side has proven they always win.
Stay tuned — because this NFL season just gained a brand-new rivalry.
