This Taylor Swift Hit Perfectly Predicted Her Super Bowl Backlash

Taylor Swift allegedly wrote the song "Mean" after Bob Lefsetz harshly reviewed her live performance at the 2010 Grammys. Swifties have a long memory, and they're bringing Lefsetz up again now that Swift is (maybe) going to be at the Super Bowl this year, because it means her lyrics in the song might literally come true. One person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, "imagine being Bob Lefsetz in a bar trying to watch a football game 14 years after Taylor wrote Mean about you and now you don't just have to see her in the news or marketing but every time you're watching football too[.] TayKarma always wins!"

The lyrics now also sound like they're directed to the "dads, Brads, and Chads" who don't like seeing her during Chiefs games. In her Time "Person of the Year" article, Swift commented on the attention she's received while at Travis Kelce's games: "I'm just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads."

If the Kansas City Chiefs win Super Bowl 58, we hope we get to see another cute moment from Swift and Kelce. After the AFC Championship win, the two shared hugs and kisses out on the field, clearly not caring what any detractors thought.
