A CNN reporter had a message for Taylor Swift ahead of Chiefs-Bills, as he hopes she leaves Sunday’s game in tears after Buffalo beats Kansas City in the NFC divisional playoff round.
During Friday night’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” CNN senior data reporter and die-hard Bills fans Harry Enten gave live updates from outside Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, amid subzero temperatures and snow that called for fans’ help to clear the field in time for this weekend’s high-profile match.
While showing off his Bills gear with a shovel in hand, Enten added that he considers himself a Swiftie, but he just happens to have more love for the Bills.
“I’ll note that the Bills already beat the Chiefs in Kansas City when Taylor Swift showed up,” Enten said. “So while I enjoy Taylor Swift’s music, as you know — we’re both Swifties at heart — I hope she’s probably crying by the end of Sunday because that means my Buffalo Bills won.
“So this is the only time I’m competing against Taylor Swift. I’m sorry, Swifties, I have to do it.”

It remains unclear if Taylor Swift will be in Orchard Park, NY, for Sunday’s AFC Divisional game
Stunned, Cooper replied, “Wow, that’s pretty harsh.”
As Enten noted, the Chiefs lost to the Bills at home in Kansas City on December 10, with Swift in attendance, 20-17.
The pop star’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, managed to finish that game with six catches and 83 yards, but the Bills were the team that left Arrowhead Stadium with the win.
That night also proved to be a turning point in Buffalo’s season, as the Bills won their final four games of the season to overtake the Dolphins for the AFC East title.

The Bills’ form proved influential leading up to Sunday’s game, as it led to the Chiefs’ unusual move for this weekend’s AFC divisional round, the first time quarterback Patrick Mahomes will play outside of Kansas City for a playoff game in his career.
The Chiefs defeated the Miami Dolphins last weekend in frigid conditions, when the weather dropped as low as minus-8 degrees.
Kelce’s older brother and Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce, and his wife, Kylie, are finally ready to meet Swift in Buffalo after reports that both parties have a testy relationship.
