Overview

  • During a “Taylor Cam” set to Taylor Swift’s “Welcome to New York,” the screen cut to Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor puffing a cigar as AC/DC’s “Back in Black” took over.
  • The reveal drew loud cheers at MetLife Stadium and clips of the moment spread widely on social media, including a viral post from X user @Majorleaguemadd.
  • Reports differed on whether Swift was in attendance, with coverage noting her presence was unclear or not observed.
  • The Chiefs beat the Giants 22–9 on Sunday night, earning their first win after an 0–2 start as Travis Kelce was held to four catches for 26 yards.
  • The bit reflects how NFL teams increasingly lean into celebrity attention around games, with the Swift–Kelce dynamic driving crowd engagement and media focus.
