Lions’ sends subtle message about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
The Detroit Lions took a noteworthy stance on social media regarding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. The Lions shared a TikTok clip featuring footage of Taylor Swift cheering on the TE at one of his games.
The clip posed a true or false question: “Taylor Swift is dating the TE [tight end] with the most touchdowns in the NFL this season.”
The statement was proven false by the Lions themselves, who pointed out that their own tight end, Sam LaPorta, has more touchdowns this season.
The post playfully expressed the team’s efforts to discern truth from fiction, as indicated by the TikTok caption: “Tryna figure out what is and isn’t true.”
Fans engaged in the comments, expressing their preference for Sam LaPorta (six touchdowns) over Travis Kelce (five touchdowns) due to the touchdown statistics. Despite having fewer touchdowns, there is no denying that Kelce is winning at life due to his enchanting relationship with Taylor Swift.
