Taylor's Tears? CNN Roots for Bills Over Chiefs - And for Swift Sobbing

Taylor's Tears? CNN Roots for Buffalo Bills Over Kansas City Chiefs in NFL Playoffs - And for Swift's Sobbing

We know that TV's Tony Dungy, in a highly hypocritical view, thinks the media's emphasis on Taylor Swift presence at games is detrimental; Coach, if you think that, why don't you tell your TV network to quit focusing on her?

But the fact is, Swift and her massive "Swifty'' audience has become an "important'' enough issue that it's not just NBC, CBS, FOX and ESPN who want in ...

Enter CNN.

What does a "serious news outlet'' have to do with any of this? It seems one of their reporters is a Buffalo Bills fan, and he therefore is offering up a "mean'' pregame message for Ms. Swift ahead of the Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs playoff contest scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Sunday night.

Kelce Reveals Plan Amid Retirement Rumors as Chiefs Prep for Playoff at Buffalo

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten did a live "hit'' outside of Highmark Stadium in Buffalo on Friday evening at which time the veteran correspondent noted his long-time membership in Bills Mafia. And he delivered that message ..

“I will note the Bills have already beaten the Chiefs in Kansas City when Taylor Swift showed up,” Enten said. “So while I do enjoy Taylor Swift’s music, as I know you do — we’re both Swifties at heart — I’m hoping she’s probably crying at the end of Sunday because that’ll mean my Buffalo Bills have won.”

The AFC Divisional Round game will air on CBS. And yes, you will see plenty of the pop star Swift, the boyfriend of Chiefs star Travis Kelce. And if Bills Mafia gets its wish, a win to advance to next Sunday's AFC title game at Baltimore?

Yes, you might just see a frozen tear stuck to the reddened cheek of Taylor Swift.
