Americans Don't Hate Taylor Swift. They Hate The Class Divide She Represents

As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up for their fifth Super Bowl appearance in six seasons, one of the biggest stories surrounding the team has little to do with the players actually on the field. It's Taylor Swift.

While it's long seemed like Swift has had no room left to grow, the popstar has seen her star reach new heights over the past few years. Her internet-breaking Eras Tour has become the highest-grossing tour of all time, having raked in over a billion dollars in one calendar year, and it's still got nearly a full year to go.

But lately, even her historic artistic feats are starting to seem like a sideshow. In September 2023, Swift broke the internet once again when it surfaced that she was dating the Chiefs' star tight end Travis Kelce. Kelce has been a rising star outside the game of football in his own right. After the Chiefs controversially eeked out a win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, Kelce was able to leverage his way into some advertising work for small-time mom-and-pop brands like State Farm, DirecTV, McDonald's, Subway, Budweiser, Experian, and is now the face of Pfizer.
