The rivalry between NFL teams is nothing new, but things have taken a controversial turn as Philadelphia Eagles fans have set their sights on pop icon Taylor Swift ahead of the Super Bowl. In a move that has sparked widespread debate, a group of passionate Eagles supporters has reportedly created NSFW (Not Safe for Work) towels mocking Swift, who has been a major storyline throughout the NFL season due to her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end, Travis Kelce.
With the Super Bowl looming, tensions between fanbases are at an all-time high, and Eagles fans—known for their bold and sometimes brash antics—are making sure the Chiefs and Swift feel the heat.
According to sources, the towels, which have already started circulating online, contain explicit messages and imagery aimed at Swift. While some designs simply take jabs at her relationship with Kelce, others reportedly include vulgar language and inappropriate depictions. The goal? To rattle both Swift and the Chiefs heading into the biggest game of the year.
One of the most widely shared images on social media features a towel with the phrase “We Knew You Were Trouble”, a reference to Swift’s 2012 hit song, but with a not-so-family-friendly twist underneath. Other reports suggest that some towels include provocative caricatures mocking Swift’s presence at NFL games throughout the season.
While Eagles fans are known for their rowdy and sometimes unforgiving nature (remember when they booed Santa Claus?), this latest stunt has ignited a heated debate over whether it crosses the line from passionate rivalry to outright disrespect.
Swift has been one of the most polarizing figures in the NFL this season, despite not being a player, coach, or analyst. Ever since her relationship with Travis Kelce went public, she has been a constant presence at Chiefs games, often shown on TV cheering from luxury suites alongside Kelce’s family and friends.
While many NFL fans have embraced the Swift-Kelce love story, others—especially rival fanbases—have grown increasingly frustrated with what they see as “too much Swift coverage” during broadcasts. Eagles fans, in particular, have a unique reason to hold a grudge.
During the 2022 season, the Eagles lost a heartbreaking Super Bowl to the Chiefs, and many fans are still bitter about the outcome. With Swift now in the picture, some Eagles supporters have taken the rivalry beyond the field—and straight into pop culture warfare.
The response to the NSFW towels has been swift (no pun intended). Many Swifties (Taylor Swift’s devoted fanbase) have taken to social media to condemn Eagles fans for the disrespectful gestures.
“This is disgusting. Rivalries are fun, but attacking a woman who has done nothing but support her boyfriend? Eagles fans have no class,” one fan tweeted.
Others, however, argue that it’s all just part of the game.
“This is Philly. We talk trash, we get in your head. If you can’t handle it, don’t watch football,” an Eagles fan posted.
The NFL itself has yet to issue an official statement, but given the league’s strict policies on offensive and inappropriate fan behavior, it’s possible that stadium security may intervene if the towels make their way into the Super Bowl venue.
While Eagles fans might be enjoying their moment of chaos, some believe this stunt could motivate Travis Kelce and the Chiefs even more.
Kelce has already proven to be one of the most dominant players in the league, and if there’s one thing you don’t want to do, it’s give an elite athlete extra motivation on the biggest stage.
Many Chiefs supporters believe the NSFW towels will fuel Kelce and his teammates, pushing them to silence Eagles fans in the best way possible—by winning the Super Bowl.
Additionally, Swift herself has never been one to back down from criticism. If anything, this controversy could make her presence at the Super Bowl even more powerful, solidifying her role as a major figure in the NFL narrative.
Philadelphia Eagles fans are no strangers to controversy, and their latest stunt targeting Taylor Swift has added yet another chapter to their notorious reputation.
But will the NSFW towels rattle Swift and the Chiefs? Or will this attempt to get inside their heads backfire, leading to another heartbreaking loss for Philly?
