Swifties got a tasty treat at the Kansas City Chiefs playoff game against the Buffalo Bills. Bill's food service partner, Delaware North, rolled out "Bad Blood" waffle fries, named after one of the singer's smash hits. It consisted of loaded waffle fries paired with each city's culinary specialties slathered on top. Half the portion came covered in Buffalo chicken and blue cheese, while the other side was dripping with KC-style BBQ pork, cole slaw, and bread-and-butter pickles.
Foodie Sites Dream Up Swift-Themed Super Bowl Snacks
The Taylor-Swift themed Super Bowl food trend is catching on. Sites like The Bash are offering big game party tips for items like "Cruel Summer Sliders" and "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Wings," while the high-brow foodie bible Bon Appetit came up with "Milk Shake It Offs."
Taylor at the Big Game: Can Grumpy Fans Shake It Off?
The attention Swift has gotten since she began showing up at games hasn't sat well with some grouchy fans, who feel her attendance somehow detracts from their enjoyment of the game. During her Time Person of the Year interview, Swift said she had no idea how the camera kept finding her at the games, and she had no way of knowing how many times she was being shown on TV during a match. "I'm just there to support Travis," she told Time. "I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads."
Taylor's Financial Impact on the NFL
On the other hand, several news sources have cited that viewership (especially among women) is up and that tickets are sold at record-breaking prices-up to $9800 a seat! As Taylor says, haters are gonna hate, but the NFL is making bank this year due to her involvement. We're betting that there will also be a massive uptick in chip, spirits, soft drink, chicken, guac, salsa, cheese, and jalapeno sales as well at Swift-themed soirees across America.
Imagining The Taylor-Inspired Snacks We'll See At The Big Game
We aren't privy to any Taylor-made tastes available at the Super Bowl when her boyfriend's Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers, but we have some ideas...
-
The "I Forgot That You Existed" - A low-cal cocktail of vodka and cranberry flavored seltzer.
-
The "I Knew You Were Trouble" - Reaper pepper glazed roast pork served with a side of spiked Taylor-tots.
-
The "End Game" - A sinfully luscious, flourless chocolate cake to be consumed only if Kansas City wins.
We'll see if the folks at Vegas' Allegiant Stadium exploit the star's name at the concession stand, but knowing Sin City's penchant for camp and kitsch, we wouldn't be surprised.
