It's pretty clear that Travis Kelce has won the approval of Taylor Swift's father, as evidenced by him sporting a Kansas City Chiefs lanyard during her Buenos Aires show on Saturday.

Scott Swift has been a big Philadelphia Eagles supporter for as long as he can remember. However, during his recent appearance in Argentina, he decided to temporarily switch sides by wearing some Chiefs attire. It seems that he has now adopted a new favorite team due to his daughter's relationship.

However, a portion of the Eagles supporters were unhappy due to the intense rivalry between the two teams, and the fact that the Swift family has openly declared themselves as Philly fans. Taylor Swift herself has previously expressed her admiration for the Eagles, but this season she attended four games of the Chiefs to show her support for Travis.

The followers of Swift didn't waste any time making playful comments that Travis and Scott could potentially cause annoyance to Jason Kelce, an elder brother who also happens to play for the Eagles.

Upon spotting pictures of the two gentlemen making rounds on social media, a fan amusingly posted a snapshot of a sign placed outside a residence that read 'Greetings to the one who cheats' along with the phrase: 'The Eagles are greeting Scott Swift for donning the Chiefs lanyard'.

It was recently observed that Scott, the father of Taylor Swift, was spotted sporting a Chiefs lanyard, alongside Travis Kelce. This is intriguing as Scott has been a die-hard supporter of the Philadelphia Eagles throughout his life.

Eagles fans were quick to spot Scott's backing for the Chiefs on social media.

Someone else expressed, "Check out my acquaintance Scott Swift, who hails from Southeastern Pennsylvania. He seems to be experiencing some feelings of disloyalty while sporting a Chiefs lanyard, especially considering that the Eagles lost to them in the Super Bowl less than a year ago."

Many supporters were curious about Jason Kelce's opinion, as one person expressed on X: 'Jason must have a rant prepared for this!'

Someone else commented, "Oh boy, Jason is not going to be happy about this." Another person predicted that the Kelce brothers' podcast, New Heights, will be particularly interesting this week. They said, "I'm really looking forward to hearing Jason's response to this on the podcast."

A different supporter pointed out that Scott's display of unity is notable because Scott's Eagles squad lost to Travis and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl only a few months ago.

A supporter stated, "Philly is super upset as The Chiefs won the Super Bowl and they lost Taylor Swift too."

Someone else commented: 'Scott Swift must really like this guy. He even participated in the applause at the restaurant and is now wearing a Chiefs lanyard, even though his team is the Eagles all the way.'

At the beginning of the year, Taylor Swift dedicated some time during one of her performances to clear up any confusion about a specific line in her song "Gold Rush". The reference in the lyrics to "Eagles" does not refer to the popular band, but rather the NFL team of the same name.

Within the tune made for the album entitled 'Evermore', she vocalizes: 'I envision myself walking gently across the timber floors of your abode, while my t-shirt featuring the Eagles remains hooked onto the doorway'.

Travis has a brother named Jason who is a player for the Philadelphia Eagles. Unfortunately, they did not come out as winners in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs a few months ago.

Taylor, who previously declared her allegiance to the Eagles, has been enthusiastically supporting Kelce in his games with the Chiefs this year.

Donna Kelce may need to craft an additional half-and-half jersey for when the Chiefs face off against the Eagles on November 20th.

During her Eras tour this year in Philadelphia, Swift mentioned that she had seen some discussion going on. Although she wasn't sure how extensive it was, she did notice it. She also brought up a particular lyric from her song that talks about her hanging an Eagles t-shirt on her door.

When I came across some individuals pondering whether it was referring to the musical ensemble the Eagles or the athletic squad the Eagles, I couldn't help but express my affection towards the former. However, considering my origins in Philadelphia, the answer should be quite obvious that it pertains to the sports team.

Taylor and her father will face a challenge in deciding which team to support as Travis returns to the NFL on November 20th for the Chiefs vs. Eagles game at Arrowhead Stadium.

Donna, who is the mother of Travis and Jason, may have the ability to provide assistance.

In February, during the Super Bowl where her sons were playing against each other, she showed her impartiality by wearing a half-and-half jersey to support both the Chiefs and the Eagles equally. However, the Chiefs won the game with a final score of 38-35.
