Saints-Chiefs on MNF (Photo via ESPN)
Football conspiracy theorists are now convinced that the NFL is rigged following one of the most coincidental sequences ever. And it had everything to do with Taylor Swift.
It all began when ESPN’s Joe Buck mentioned that there was a New Orleans Saints player with a brother who’s a backup dancer on Swift’s Eras Tour during the visitors’ ‘MNF’ fixture vs the Kansas City Chiefs.
A graphic of Swift in concert even came up on screen after the mention.
Believe it or not, the brother in question, who turned out to be Saints DT Khalen Saunders, stopped Travis Kelce from scoring a touchdown with a cracking helmet-to-helmet tackle at the goal line on the very next play. As if that wasn’t strange enough, he intercepted Patrick Mahomes in the end zone with one hand and then took off running, bulldozing multiple Chiefs players.

Taylor Swift’s Dancer’s Brother Had The Internet In Shock
Fans on social media couldn’t quite believe what they’d just seen. You can check out some of the best reactions here:
So if I heard correctly, the #Saints Khalen Saunders has a brother Kameron who was a backup dancer on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. As we are learning this, he smashed into Travis Kelce’s head on a tackle and then on next play made sick one-handed Interception. pic.twitter.com/N0XytotOCO

Former Chief Khalen Saunders intercepting that after ESPN spent a few minutes talking about his brother being a backup dancer for Taylor Swift might be evidence that the NFL is scripted.

That is the strangest coincidence I’ve ever seen in football.
Khalen Saunders brother is a back up dancer for Taylor swift.
Khalen makes goal line stuff on Travis, and picks off Mahomes.
Khalen is a DT lmao wtf

Even J.J. Watt was freaking out…
“Taylor Swift’s backup dancer’s brother Khalen Saunders just tackled her boyfriend Travis Kelce to stop him from scoring a touchdown. On the next play, he intercepted Patrick Mahomes in the end zone.”
Did not anticipate explaining that to Kealia when she walked down the stairs.

Unfortunately for Saunders, the Saints weren’t able to capitalize on the momentum his defensive plays should have earned them, losing 26-13.
