Shocking: Jets’ owner poses with Taylor Swift following devastating defeat by Chiefs
Woody Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets, found himself at the center of a social media storm after posting a controversial photo with none other than the music sensation Taylor Swift. The timing couldn’t have been worse, as it came right after the Jets suffered a tough loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4 of the 2023 NFL season.
The Jets’ defeat was particularly hard to swallow for fans, as many felt that several calls by the referees went against their team, ultimately costing them the game. To add insult to injury, Taylor Swift, a new supporter of the Chiefs thanks to her reported connection with Travis Kelce, was in attendance at MetLife Stadium to cheer on her favorite team.
Despite the backlash faced by the NFL for showing support for the Chiefs and Taylor Swift on social media, Woody Johnson boldly took to X to share a photo of himself with the pop star, declaring themselves as ‘Swifties’ too. Jets fans were quick to express their disapproval, urging Johnson to be more mindful of the situation and the emotions of the fanbase.
With tensions running high and emotions flaring, the question of how many Super Bowls the New York Jets have won inevitably arose. The Jets have one Lombardi Trophy to their name, clinching victory in Super Bowl III back in 1969 with legendary quarterback Joe Namath at the helm.
It remains to be seen how Woody Johnson’s controversial post will impact the team and its relationship with the fanbase moving forward. One thing is for sure; this unlikely connection between the world of football and music has certainly stirred up quite the commotion in the NFL community.
