NFL fans react to Taylor Swift celebrating Chiefs star re-signing

Fans had mixed reactions on social media when Taylor Swift celebrated Mecole Hardman’s extension with the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday.

On June 6, the reigning Super Bowl champions granted the wide receiver a one-year extension to remain in Kansas City.

After the team’s ring ceremony on Thursday night, Hardman was on an Instagram live feed by his girlfriend, Chariah Gordon. Swift then took to the comments to praise Hardman’s extension with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the team. 

‘AND WE GET ANOTHER YEAR OF MECOLE,’ Swift’s account wrote with a crown emoji.

‘JOINING THE PARTY FROM LIVERPOOL LETS GOOOOOOO,’ a pinned comment read, followed by a flag of the United Kingdom.

Meanwhile, fans went on social media with mixed reactions. Some praised Swift for the fandom she has for the team, while others insisted that the 14-time Grammy winner was being pretentious.

‘He was happy she signed that girlfriend contract extension in the off-season,’ one user wrote. ‘She just returning the favor.’

‘She still following through with the act,’ another quipped. ‘Gotta give her credit.’

‘This how you know she a fan,’ a third wrote. A fourth added: ‘She’s really had more success in one year of being a fan than most of us have had our whole lives I’m crine.’

‘And we stand w Taylor! Run it back mecole! – we are here for it!’ said a fifth.

‘Yeah she definitely runs her Instagram account,’ another sarcastically stated.

The Chiefs picked Hardman out of the second round in 2019. He spent his first four seasons in Kansas City before signing with the Jets last offseason.

His stint in New York was short-lived, as she returned to the red and gold five games later.

Hardman recorded 14 catches for 118 yards in six regular season appearances. He then had 15 catches for 62 yards in the playoffs, including three grabs for 57 yards and the game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl against San Francisco in February.
