Tom Brady criticized the Kansas City Chiefs for the team’s new Taylor Swift fan base on Sunday night.
The NFL icon suffered a fair roast at the hands of Kevin Hart, former teammates Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski, Bill Belichick and even Kim Kardashian during his live Netflix roast.
However, after the onslaught of jokes about his ex-wife Gisele and Spygate, the former quarterback got his own chance to crack some jokes.
And the seven-time Super Bowl winner took the opportunity to take aim at the reigning champions, the Chiefs.
The 46-year-old harshly criticized Patrick Mahomes and company. about his new fan base, suggesting that Arrowhead Stadium is filled primarily with Swifties, the fans of Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

‘Kansas City, you say your stadium is the loudest. It helps when your fans are 14-year-old girls…’ he said, referencing Swifties’ growing interest in the franchise amid their idol’s romance with the star tight end.
‘And in honor of TayTay, let’s take a look at the Boss Eras; Terrible for 50 years, good for five. SHAKE IT OFF,” Brady added, with nods to Swift’s Eras Tour and her hit song.
The Chiefs won their third Super Bowl in five years in February and many fans claimed that put Mahomes and Co. on their way to claiming a dynasty like the Brady-era New England Patriots.
And Kansas City’s latest victory came against Swift when the pop star cheered on her tight end boyfriend from a VIP suite at Allegiant Stadium as the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in overtime.
The singer is credited with attracting a new demographic of younger female fans to the NFL this season.
