Concerned JD Vance reacts to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelces’s commitment to promote conspiracy theory
Vice President JD Vance congratulated Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift for his commitment, while leaning in a theory of conspiracy among NFL fans with respect to Kelce’s team, Kansas City’s chiefs.
In an interview with USA Today published on Wednesday night, Vance expressed concern that high profile romance would result in the Chiefs receiving a preferential treatment of the NFL.
“I will say that as a football fan, as a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals, I hope the NFL does not put the thumb on the scale of the Kansas City bosses just because Travis Kelce is now marrying the most famous woman in the world,” Vance, former Ohio senator, told the outlet.
After pointing out that he was “worried that they have a wedding at the Super Bowl this season,” he continued to observe: “They can’t do it. Kansas City bosses have to follow the same rules as everyone else.”
He continued: “Then, if we see that the referees are particularly friendly to Kansas City Chiefs players, then I think all football fans should be willing to go back in the NFL and say: ‘Look, you have to be fair.’ Just because Travis will marry Taylor, you still can’t put the thumb on the scale of the Kansas City Heads.”

Vance’s comments give credit to long rumors that the NFL games have been manipulated for the Chiefs, who in 2024 became the first repeated Super Bowl champions in almost two decades.
Only a few days before this year’s Super Bowl, the executive director of the NFL referees association, Scott Green, issued a long statement he denounced in which he dismissed the “insulting and absurd” claims.
Fans can “be sure that in each Down, NFL officials, both in the field and in the repetition cabin, are doing everything that is humanly possible to officiate each play correctly,” he added.
The Chiefs lost the Super Bowl 2025 against the Philadelphia Eagles, 40-22.
Despite his unfounded hint, Vance offered his valuables to Kelce and Swift in his USA Today Chat.

“I am romantic when I see two people who are in love with marrying,” he said. “I only wish you the best, and I congratulate you, and I hope you have a very long, healthy and happy life together.”
Even so, Vance does not seem to have forgotten Swift’s support for former vice president Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential elections, in which the pop superstar mocked markedly mocked his contempt comment on the “cats of cats without children.”
He said: “I think, in general, people want politicians to concentrate on politics, and want celebrities to concentrate on whatever made them famous, either singing, dancing or acting.”
