Buffalo Bills fans dressed in a Kermit the Frog puppet like Patrick Mahomes and hung it from a pole ahead of Sunday’s matchup, but Taylor Swift was not happy about it.
The pregame move occurred before the Buffalo Bills’ 30-21 home victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11.
A group of Bills fans dressed a Kermit the Frog doll like Mahomes and hung it from a pole near the stadium. The picture quickly went viral on social media.
In the picture, you could see the doll dressed in Mahomes’ No. 15 Chiefs jersey and his haircut.
Taylor Swift reportedly reached out to Brittany Mahomes after her husband and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes became an unfortunate target of Buffalo Bills fans.
An insider told DailyMail.com that the 34-year-old pop sensation and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, were troubled by the “disturbing” incident by Bills fans.
“Taylor’s friends said she and Travis found it incredibly disturbing,” the insider dished out, adding, “She has talked to Brittany who was really taken aback.”

This proves why Taylor decided not to show up to Highmark Stadium for the game.
Taylor Swift Had Concerns of Traveling To Other NFL Stadiums
Taylor Swift didn’t make the short trip from Toronto to Buffalo to watch her Kansas City Chiefs star tight end boyfriend Travis Kelce take on the Buffalo Bills, but she certainly had good reasons not to.
Swift was in Toronto on Saturday night as part of her lucrative “Eras Tour,” and her next show wouldn’t be until later in the week, so she had an opportunity.
Cosmopolitan’s Mehera Bonner reported that Swift will only attend Chiefs home games this season due to security reasons.
“There was some speculation that Taylor might attend since she doesn’t have an Eras Tour performance lined up today and was just in nearby Toronto,” Bonner reported. “But a few things to note: 1) Taylor is reportedly only attending Chiefs home games in Kansas City due to security reasons. And on top of that, sports commentator Adam Lefkoe says she and the Kelce family didn’t have the best time at last year’s Chiefs vs. Bills game in Buffalo.”
Page Six further added that Taylor Swift traveling to away games presents security concerns for her team.
“A source previously told Page Six that Swift had to miss the games due to her busy tour schedule. They also stated that away games present security concerns for Swift’s team,” Page Six reported.
Swifties Are Destroying Buffalo Bills Player’s Wife After She Took A Direct Shot At Taylor Swift Out Of Nowhere

On Sunday, the Buffalo Bills gave the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the NFL season. Of course, if the Chiefs play a game, there will be some mention of Taylor Swift.
Usually, when this happens, it’s NFL fans complaining about Swift’s coverage, but this time, it revolves around a player’s wife.
After the game, the wife of Baylon Spector, a linebacker with the Bills, posted an Instagram story of her and friends that read, “9-2! Never a swiftie.”

Swift certainly has a passionate fanbase that could seem as protective of her as any NFL fan is about their team, and they ripped into Spector.

Not sure why she even brought Swift up🤷🏻♀️Did Swift swipe a cookie or does she have a secret thing for Trav?

Of course, though, there isn’t super anything disrespectful about the post. It’s not as if Spector is taking a personal shot at Swift; it seems to be just a light-hearted joke that was taken out of context.
However, NFL fans often react similarly when they think someone has disrespected their favorite team or player, so maybe being an NFL fan truly rubs off on the Swifties.
Everyone should remember to remove Swift’s name from their social media unless they want to suffer the same fate.
Taylor Swift Was Not At The Chiefs-Bills Game
Swift was just in Toronto, Canada, as one of the stops on her “Eras Tour,” not too far from Buffalo, where the game was played.
However, she was not in attendance, and many who thought she would be were confused.
Mehera Bonner of Cosmopolitan did their best to clear some of that confusion.
“There was some speculation that Taylor might attend since she doesn’t have an Eras Tour performance lined up today and was just in nearby Toronto,” Bonner wrote. “But a few things to note: 1) Taylor is reportedly only attending Chiefs home games in Kansas City due to security reasons. And on top of that, sports commentator Adam Lefkoe says she and the Kelce family didn’t have the best time at last year’s Chiefs vs. Bills game in Buffalo.”
