Alright, folks, buckle up. Wanted to see if Taylor Swift showing up at Chiefs games actually did anything weird to the team stats or maybe linked back to her old tour patterns. Sounded crazy, but hey, why not dig in?
Started Simple: Just Google It
First thing Tuesday morning, cracked open the laptop still half-asleep. Googled “Taylor Swift Chiefs games attended“. Easy enough. Made a list of dates: Oct 1, Oct 12, Oct 22, Nov 20, Dec 3, Dec 25, Jan 28. Seven games she showed up. Okay, baseline.
Dove Into The Nitty Gritty
Next step: hit up the NFL stats pages. My browser tabs started multiplying like rabbits. For each game Taylor attended:
- Pulled down the final score. Easy.
- Scraped the Over/Under line from a couple sports sites – had to make sure, they sometimes differ a little.
- Tracked the actual total points scored in the game.
- Noted if the game went Over or Under that line. Simple math, thank god.
Felt like data-entry drone work, honestly. Lots of clicking, copying, pasting into a dusty old spreadsheet.
Spotted Weirdness & Went Deeper
Staring at my spreadsheet grid, coffee cold beside me. Noticed something: the actual total points felt all over the place when Taylor was there. Some high-scoring shootouts, some absolute defensive slugfests. Didn’t seem to care about the pre-game Over/Under line either way. Games went Over, Under… just random chaos.
Then I remembered the title: “Past Shows Pattern“. Hmm. Okay, back to work. Dug into Taylor’s 2023 Eras Tour dates. Copied down every dang concert date before and after those Chiefs games. Thought maybe she played a show right before flying to KC or something.
More spreadsheets. More tabs. Head started hurting. Couldn’t see any damn rhythm. Sometimes she played a show like days before a game, sometimes over a week. Game on the 25th? Show on the 24th? Nope. Sometimes she’d been off stage for ages before hitting Arrowhead. Felt like trying to connect random dots.
The Punchline
Sat back after wasting way too many afternoon hours. Here’s the brutal truth I squeezed out of those numbers:
- Chiefs went 5-2 in the games Taylor attended. Not bad at all for the team.
- The Over/Under? Pure luck of the draw. Didn’t matter if she was in the suite looking cute with Kelce’s mom. No pattern. Games Over, Games Under, basically a coin flip outcome.
- Connecting her tour schedule? Forget it. Zero consistency. Dates clumped together? Didn’t happen. Big gaps? Also happened. Just a total dead end.
So yeah. All that clicking, tab opening, number crunching… basically proved that while it’s fun seeing Taylor at games cheering, she ain’t moving betting lines or influencing the combined score magic. And her tour schedule? Has sweet FA to do with when she pops up in Kansas City. Just… life. Sometimes cool stuff happens randomly. Statistically speaking? Pretty much noise.
