Fans of the pop star Taylor Swift, who call themselves Swifties, have unleashed their fury on an NFL podcaster who dared to make what they feel was a poor attempt of a joke at the singer’s expense.
Joke Made About Swift
It all started when Cam Stewart, one of the hosts of SportsGrid’s “Drew and Stew Podcast,” was talking about the legitimacy of the Chiefs’ 9-0 record on this week’s show. As in – are they what their record says they are, or are they a paper tiger?
Conversation then turned to the upcoming grudge match against Buffalo at Highmark Stadium this weekend, and whether or not the Bills have the juice to take down the undefeated and current Super Bowl Champions.
“I love Buffalo,” Stewart said. “I love the people there…I love the food there and I want something positive to happen for these people.
“Haven’t they been through enough? Kansas City, ‘Oh, we’re in Kansas City. We’re living the great life. We win every week,'” he added.
Drew Livingstone, Stewart’s co-host, chimed in to point out that Swift is expected to attend Sunday’s game in Buffalo to support her boyfriend and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
“Oh, who cares?!” Stewart ranted in response. “Throw her in the [Niagara] Falls.”
Big mistake, Cam!

Swifties Fire Back
Let’s just say the Swifties didn’t take this well.
“@CamStewartLive you’re a vile sob,” one user commented. Another added, “That Karma is about to hit bad. I hope he’s ready for it.”
“Uh oh! Clearly he doesn’t know about Tayvoodoo!” a third user wrote. A fourth person stated, “Buddy. There are fans more powerful and more ruthless than Chiefs fans. They are called Swifties. They are about to unleash hell on your life. Big mistake…”
While Stewart has yet to specifically apologize, he did respond to one person who questioned why he would make a joke about throwing anyone into Niagara Falls when people have actually died there.
“Didnt mean it bad joke,” Stewart replied.
DraftKings podcaster Pat Mayo later said on his own show that since Stewart made his joke about Swift, SportsGrid host has been getting “a lot” of death threats. Death threats!
“Hang in there @CamStewartLive, we love you buddy!!” Mayo wrote on social media.

Swift Gets Invited To Niagara Falls
Meanwhile, in the wake of Stewart’s joke about Swift, Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati has invited the singer and her boyfriend to come visit the Honeymoon Capital of the world.
“Hey Taylor Swift, we know you’ll be in Toronto and Buffalo this week, close to us here in Niagara Falls,” Diodati said. “We’d love to host & roll out the red carpet for you! A visit here would be better than your WILDEST DREAMS, we promise!”
Since going public with their relationship last fall, Swift has become a regular at Kelce’s games. Indeed, she supported the Chiefs all the way to the Super Bowl earlier this year. This season, Swift has been in attendance at the Chiefs’ two wins against the Saints and Buccaneers.
The Bills are currently 7-2. That means that beating them might just be the Chiefs toughest task yet this season. It will certainly be interesting to see if Swift can cheer the Chiefs on to another victory!
