It was just a matter of time before Chiefs fans directed their frustrations toward Taylor Swift, and no one seems to enjoy piling on more than Skip Bayless.
Taylor Swift attended the Christmas Day game between the Chiefs and the Raiders to show her support for All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce.

Unfortunately, their Christmas Day was marred by a 20-14 loss to the Raiders. After the game, FS1 personality Skip Bayless took to Twitter to share an intriguing take about Swift.
Bayless suggested that Swift might be a distraction for the defending Super Bowl champions.
“Feels like it’s about time to call Taylor Swift a distraction,” Bayless tweeted. “What do you think, Patrick? Andy? How about you, Travis?”
This criticism may appear somewhat unfair, as Swift isn’t responsible for the Chiefs’ offensive challenges. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has expressed his support for Swift attending their home games and also approves of her relationship with Kelce.
“Listen, I’m a big fan, so I’m glad she was here and I hope she enjoyed it,” Reid stated. “She’s got a great guy she’s dating right now, so I’m happy for both of them.”
Given Skip Bayless’s history of building his brand through criticism, his comments are not entirely surprising.
