Because of Taylor Swift and her american government ties and legion of adoring fans, she not only personly led the Chiefs to tie in the last 3 seconds of the game, which led to an intense over time where Swift herself came on the field in the last few remaining seconds to score a win for her boyfriends team.

It has brought a tear to my eye from the enjoyment. Now i can not wait untill she leads our president on the campaign trial to finally put an end to Trump and his crazed zealots.

Thanks, I was wondering if Taylor Swift's team won!

Yup! I dont follow sports, but i kept track of this game, i just really wanted the chiefs to win to see the backlash and conspiracy theories run amuk.

For crossword puzzle purposes, remember it's pronounced amuck but spelled amok unless you're reading archaic texts. 👍

Also for crossword puzzle purposes: Bobby Orr played hockey for the Bostin Bruins and the Chicago Black Hawks.

You're with me on this, aren't you fellow crossword fans?

Hmmm amok just doesnt look right.... ill stick with my misspelling, but thank you though.

My family was wondering why I was so into the Chiefs this year when I never cared about them before. Their overtime win scored me a future basket of free hot wings and a steady stream of Swiftcentric conspiracy theories. Can't remember being this jazzed about a Superbowl outcome in the past 20 years.

Hell I can't tell if I'm seeing that in some of the replies here or if they are poking fun. Poe's Law is far too much of a minefield these days.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

No. She won. There was no team. It was all Tayloer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Yes, barely. Luckily, the refs gave the Chiefs 10 bonus points for just having her there, which really helped tip the scales.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But she forgot to endorse Biden! The Deep State, Nancy Pelosi and Saul Alinsky must not have gotten to her! She's definitely going to endorse Trump at her next concert!

Now excuse me, I have to go wait for the next Q drop.

Not true, if you take all the shots of her during the game, splice them together in Star Wars machete order (starting with the fourth shot, then the 5th, then the second, adding in The Clone Wars, and so on) and play them back at 1.35927x speed, you can definitely see her mouth something that looks like “Vote Joe Biden.”

If you can’t see it, try reversing the feed at 0.83461x speed while standing on your head instead.
