Minneapolis gives the visiting Kansas City Chiefs a mixed welcome just before they play the Minnesota Vikings – with one particular player being targeted on billboards.
As the city waits with baited breath to see if the pop superstar will show her face, billboards have both welcomed — and mocked — Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce.
One billboard for a local radio station simply reads ‘Beat Taylor’s Boyfriend’ on a purple background – the colors of the Vikings.
Another ad from the pharmaceutical company Pfizer said ‘Welcome’ with a sweater that said ‘Mr Pfizer 87’ on the back.
The latter billboard is a reference to the nickname given to him by injured Jets quarterback and noted anti-vaxxer Aaron Rodgers.
Billboards mocking Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce have popped up in Minneapolis
Others, such as those from Pfizer, played into the media circus surrounding Kelce’s visit
The city is waiting to see if Kelce’s girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift, will show up
Rodgers gave Kelce that nickname after the tight end started appearing in the company’s ads for their Covid-19 vaccine.
Kelce’s rapidly developing romance with Taylor Swift has caught the attention of sports fans across the country.
Swift has made back-to-back appearances at Chiefs games in recent weeks. First, she was on hand for a home game against Chicago.
Then Swift followed that up with a road trip to MetLife Stadium for the contest against the Jets.
It has not been confirmed whether Swift will be in Minnesota for this game – with no previously announced or leaked visit revealed.
