A CNN reporter had a message for Taylor Swift ahead of Chiefs-Bills, as he hopes that she leaves Sunday’s game in tears after Buffalo defeats Kansas City in the NFC divisional playoff round.
During Friday night’s ‘Anderson Cooper 360,’ CNN senior data reporter and die-hard Bills fans Harry Enten was providing live updates from outside Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, amid sub-zero conditions and snow calling for fans’ help to clear the field in time for this weekend’s high-profile game.
While showing off his Bills gear with a shovel in hand, Enten added that he considers himself to be a Swiftie, but that he just happens to have more love for the Bills.
‘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.
‘So this is the one time I am rooting against Taylor Swift. I am sorry, Swifties, I’ve got to do it.’

Stunned, Cooper replied: ‘Wow, that’s kind of harsh.’
As Enten pointed out, the Chiefs lost to the Bills, 20-17, on December 10 at home in Kansas City with Swift in attendance.
The pop star’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, managed to end that game with six catches and 83 yards, but the Bills were the team to leave Arrowhead stadium with the win.
That night also proved to be a turning point in Buffalo’s season, as the Bills’ went on to win their last four games of the season to overtake the Dolphins for the AFC East title.

The Bills’ run of form proved influential in the build-up to Sunday’s matchup in that it led to the Chiefs unusually hitting the road for this weekend’s AFC divisional round clash, the first time quarterback Patrick Mahomes will play away from Kansas City for a playoff game in his career.
The Chiefs defeated the Miami Dolphins in freezing conditions last weekend, as the weather got as low to minus-8 degrees.
Kelce’s older brother and Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce, and his wife, Kylie, are finally set to meet Swift in Buffalo after reports that both parties have an awkward relationship.
