The pop star is seen tensely watching a Kansas City Chiefs game in the widely shared edited video, which is intercut with scenes of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson taking the field.
A little “Bad Blood” is nothing to Baltimore Ravens supporters before Sunday’s AFC Championship.
Pop sensation Taylor Swift, a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, is featured in a recent fan edit that has gone viral on TikTok. The footage is pieced together to create the impression that Swift is nervously observing Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson and his team take the field.
Just one day before the Chiefs and Ravens play at Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium to decide which team advances to the Super Bowl in two weeks, the video surfaced on social media on Saturday.
Initially featuring “Style (Taylor’s Version)” as the soundtrack, the video was posted by the account nflmemes_tiktok. It opens with a picture of Swift, Brittany Mahomes, and the group cheering on the Chiefs, with the caption reading, “Taylor Swift and her besties thinking about how fun the Super Bowl is about to be together.”
The edit then shows a foot walking on the ground while wearing football boots, and then it cuts to 34-year-old Swift worryingly watching a Chiefs game.
The next instant, the video cuts to quarterback Jackson of Baltimore entering the field to Metro Boomin’s “Superhero.” Swift appears to be concerned about the Ravens quarterback and his squad based on the abrupt edit.

The quarterback is shown celebrating throughout the remainder of the video, which ends with an interview he did before the 2018 NFL Draft.
“I’m looking forward to being a Raven,” he said in the video. “Everything will come out of me for them. I’m going to give them a Super Bowl. Have faith in that.”
The caption for the video said,”In Captain Lamerica we trust ,” The video has received over 9 million views and 1.4 million likes as of Sunday morning.
Ravens supporters are skeptical that Swift will have a seat at the Super Bowl on February 11 at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, despite the fact that she has been regularly attending Chiefs playoff games this year to support boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Anticipating a “heavyweight matchup” with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Jackson is excited. The signal-callers will play each other in the playoffs for the first time this game. “It’s not fun to compete against him at all,” Jackson made a jest to media on Wednesday.
“He is an excellent quarterback. Unquestionably a Hall of Famer, Jackson declared. “It’s obvious; he deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.”
“Two greats, two up-and-coming greats going toe to toe like a heavyweight fight, heavyweight matchup, that’s what I see,” the 2019 league MVP added.
Mahomes stated to reporters on Wednesday that he has “admired watching [Jackson] from afar and know it’s going to be a great challenge for us every time we go up against him” in reference to his 28-year-old rival.
