00:00Taylor and Caitlyn together at last, sharing a suite at the Kansas City Chiefs game this
00:05past weekend and upsetting more than a few haters, including Travis Kelcey's ex.
00:10"'Caitlyn Clark, guard for the Indiana Fever, from Des Moines, been a Chiefs fan since she
00:16was a kid."
00:17Taylor Swift invited Time's 2024 Athlete of the Year to the game after Caitlyn Clark attended
00:22back-to-back eras to her concerts, so it's safe to say that she's a Swifty. And her fellow
00:27Swifties loved seeing the two interacting at the game. Taylor even hugged the WNBA star
00:32when Taylor's boyfriend Travis scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
00:35"'Pinch me, is this really happening?' read one tweet.
00:38''The Chiefs won before they started,' read another. And the Chiefs did end up beating
00:42the Houston Texans, meaning they're headed to the AFC Championship game for the seventh
00:46year in a row.
00:48"'Man, we came out on it, firing on all cylinders today, and it felt really good, man.'"
00:52Not everyone was happy to see these two superstars on their TV screens on Saturday. You know
00:57the type.
00:58"'Headline from the Kansas City star, Taylor Swift calls angry NFL fans dads, brads, and
01:04chads.'"
01:05Add to that list at least one Chris and a Skip. Commentators Chris "'Mad Dog' Russo and Skip
01:10Bayless both had meltdowns over Taylor and her famous suite-mate getting so much attention
01:14during such a pivotal matchup.
01:16"'Enough already! I get it! She likes the Chiefs! Her boyfriend's the tight end!' Russo
01:22went off on Travis, Taylor, and Caitlyn on his radio show, Mad Dog Unleashed.
01:27"'And I've had enough with Kelsey, I've had enough with the girlfriend, and now I got
01:31Caitlyn Clark in the mix.'"
01:34Russo also questioned the legitimacy of Caitlyn's fandom, despite her going on the record multiple
01:38times about her lifelong love of the team.
01:41"'I understand you want to be a fan because they win.'"
01:43"'I've been a Chiefs fan since I was a young girl. My brother was a Chiefs fan, my dad
01:47was a Chiefs fan, I had cousins in Kansas City that were Chiefs fans.'"
01:51Former Fox Sports host Skip Bayless, currently being sued by a former staffer for sexual
01:56harassment, also took issue with the two superstars hanging out, tweeting in all caps,
02:01"'Caitlyn, you don't need to be seen with her. You're bigger than she is. Just stay
02:04on your own path.'"
02:06But like Russo, Bayless seemed to not get the memo about Caitlyn being a longtime Swifty
02:10and Chiefs fan. One ex-user posted,
02:13"'Why the hell does an elderly man care what Caitlyn does? So strange.'"
02:17Another high-profile figure weighing in on the meet-up? Travis Kelcey's ex, Kayla Nicole,
02:22who made a statement, without saying a word, by unfollowing Caitlyn on Instagram.
02:27The move had social media users asking if Kayla was ever going to move on from Travis.
02:31The two dated for five years, and Travis used to be a big part of Kayla's online presence.
02:36These days, the influencer is all about pushing her wellness brand, Tribe Therapy, when she's
02:41not making football predictions.
02:43"'I know somebody on the inside.'"
02:46On a recent podcast appearance, Kayla didn't get into the Caitlyn-Clark drama, instead
02:50backing her ex and praising his skills on the field. Kayla thinks the Chiefs will beat
02:55the Buffalo Bills next week and head to their third straight Super Bowl.
02:59"'As much as I would love to see somebody else in the Super Bowl, just to see something
03:03new, it's not happening.'"
