A Bills fan was forced to listen to Taylor Swift songs at a bar in the aftermath of the pop star’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, having his first multiple touchdown game of the season in the Chiefs’ divisional-round playoff win.
Sitting alone by himself in a Bills jersey of quarterback Josh Allen after the outcome of Sunday’s game, the fan sat still on a stool at the bar with his head in his hands and two liquids on the counter: a bottle of Aquafina water and a shot of liquor.
The user on X, who tweeted the footage, added the caption: ‘Going to the Bills bar and loading the jukebox with Taylor Swift songs is oddly enjoyable.’
MLFootball – the most viewed NFL-related page on X – also shared the video: ‘This is awful: Buffalo bars are playing T-Swift after the #Bills loss.’
It remains unclear if the fan was just in despair, drunk, asleep, or possibly all three while listening to Swift’s 2014 hit, ‘Shake It Off.’
The Bills bar – Naked City Pizza Office – is located in Las Vegas, as indicated by the user who posted the original tweet.
‘Has he considered shaking it off?’ tweeted another user in the comment section of the video.
‘You’re losing me, hits different, is it over now? Death by a thousand cuts, right where you left me,’ shared a Swiftie, referring to the track ‘You’re Losing Me’ by the artist.
‘Poor guy…. As a KC fan that was me in the 90s-2K’s…… Well minus the gut lol,’ a rival fan replied.
The outcome of Sunday’s game was the third straight year the Bills’ season ended in the AFC Divisional round of the playoff.
What’s more is that the Bills have been eliminated by the Chiefs in three of the past four years, with losses after the 2021 and 2021 seasons at Arrowhead Stadium.
‘Here, there, doesn’t matter,’ Allen said after the 27-24 home defeat. ‘Losing sucks. I don’t know what else to say.’
Tyler Bass missed a 44-yard field goal attempt with 1:43 left, and the Chiefs ran out the clock from there. Wide right became infamous in Buffalo when Scott Norwood missed a 47-yard field goal attempt in the closing seconds of a 20-19 loss to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl on January 27, 1991.
‘I wish he wouldn’t have been put in that situation,’ Allen said of Bass. ‘You win as a team. You lose as a team. One play doesn’t define a season, doesn’t define a game.’
Bass’ kick hardly would have guaranteed a win — or even overtime. The Chiefs would have gotten the ball back with nearly two minutes on the clock and two timeouts. In the ’13 Seconds’ game, Buffalo blew a late lead, allowing Mahomes to move his team 44 yards in two plays, and lost in overtime.
Asked if this loss was harder to accept, Bills center Mitch Morse said: ‘No, it’s always hard.’
