Overview
- At his Oct. 30 news conference, defensive lineman Chris Jones entered with Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” playing on his phone and sang the line, “On the land, the sea, the sky.”
- Jones restarted the track as he left and asked reporters, “Y’all like it?,” with video shared by reporter Harold Kuntz and the Chiefs’ channels quickly circulating online.
- The track appears on Swift’s new album The Life of a Showgirl, and fans have pointed to lyrics such as “Keep it 100” and team-centric lines that echo Travis Kelce’s persona; Swift has described “100” as a numerology nod in a BBC 1 interview.
- The moment follows Kelce’s Oct. 26 touchdown celebration that echoed choreography from the same song, an on-field nod captured in game footage.
- Coverage has cast the scene as a lighthearted pop-culture crossover in the locker room as Kansas City prepares to visit the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 2.
