The Chiefs are an offseason disaster! – Will Taylor Swift Denounce Travis Kelce’s Problematic Teammates? Harrison Butker’s rants about women and g@ys, Rashee Rice’s 119 mph wreck, Isaiah Buggs’ animal cruelty warrants | HO

The Tayvis era remains hot, as Taylor Swift claims in “The Alchemy,” forcing Travis Kelce to plug a cumbersome title into dictionary mode when she sang, “There was no chance tryna be the greatest in the league.

Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me.” The greatest is Patrick Mahomes, a Taylor fave, along with his wife. Imagine this, roasters: We’re entering Year 2 of a romance between a tight end and a leftist fiend.

Unless, of course, Swift is alarmed by other members of the Kansas City Chiefs. Is she so disgusted that she’ll dump Kelce for associating with brutes? They might chase her elsewhere in life, to a pickleball court, where she can dismiss Harrison Butker, Rashee Rice, Isaiah Buggs, Wanya Morris and Chukwuebuka Godrick as losers.

Sometime soon, she’ll ask Kelce about Butker, who doesn’t like Joe Biden when she loves him. The kicker thinks women should be thrilled about homemaking skills, while slipping into gay territory with a “deadly-sin sort of pride that has a month dedicated to it” before accusing Catholic leaders of “pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America.” It prompted Butker to remark, “Over the past few days, my beliefs or what people think I believe have been the focus of countless discussions around the globe. At the outset, many people expressed a shocking level of hate. But as the days went on, even those who disagreed with my viewpoints shared their support for my freedom of religion.”

Knowing he continues to share the planet with Swift, we wonder what Kelce thinks. “When it comes down to his views, those are his,” he said of Butker. “I can’t say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids.

And I don’t think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views, of how to go about life, that’s just not who I am.” And Mahomes? Playing the role of a teammate who doesn’t “necessarily agree” with Butker, he thinks about winning field goals and will “judge him by the character that he shows every single day, and that’s a great person.”

Is that enough punishment for Swift? Doesn’t she want Kelce to run Butker and his buttker off the team? Or is she planning a new song in which she removes herself from him and all wicked Chiefs? What about Rice, the receiver, who was driving 119 mph and facing eight counts from Dallas police after a six-car crash that injured at least seven people? Weeks later, he was inside a nightclub when he was accused of attacking a photographer.

First Rice, then Butker. How can Taylor keep hanging out in stadium suites and cheer for creeps? Wasn’t Joe Alwyn a beauty, by comparison? Didn’t Matty Healy encounter his own issues but didn’t bear the lapses of others? What would billions of fans think if she wears the red jersey again and waits in the bowels of Arrowhead Stadium? Will she continue to kiss Kelce in front of massive TV audiences?

Oh, there’s more in an offseason of hell for the Super Bowl champions. Buggs, a defensive lineman, is wanted in Alabama on charges of cruelty to dogs. Are officers correct in claiming he kept a pit bull and a rottweiler without access to food or water? Buggs’ attorney says the city of Tuscaloosa is running a scheme, wanting Buggs to eliminate his hookah lounge and using “the threat of pursuing and publicizing both the allegations filed today and these arrests as leverage against Mr. Buggs by offering to drop and not pursue them in exchange for his voluntary surrender of his business license.” Does Swift believe the attorney? Or is she using her fingers and counting one, two and three men who dress inside Kelce’s locker room and share showers?

Or five, if she includes Morris and Godrick, offensive linemen who were arrested on marijuana charges. Weed? Swift mentioned “heroin … with an E” in “The Alchemy,” in another football reference in which she writes, “Those blokes warm the benches.

We’ve been on a winning streak. ‘Cause the sign on your heart. Said it’s still reserved for me. Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?”

Well, at this point, she should fight Andy Reid. The beloved head coach, who has endured misery and death in his own family, cooly tries to keep the team together.

After Butker spoke of life issues — “Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for the degenerate cultural values and media, all stem from pervasiveness of disorder,” he said — Reid didn’t back down.

“I didn’t think I needed to. We’re a microcosm of life here. We’re from different areas, different religions, different races. We all get along,” Reid said. “We all respect each other’s opinions. And not necessarily do we go by those, but we respect everybody to have a voice.

That’s a great thing about America, man. We’re just a microcosm of that, and I wish –– my wish is that everybody could kinda follow that.”

Taylor’s wish is that her boyfriend’s team would behave, as she sort of writes in her music. What possibly could be next? Kelce continues to hang out in clubs with a few party drinks. No. He wouldn’t.

Sounds like the beginnings of a song, the opposite of “The Alchemy,” a climax of the sorcery and the enchantment. What will it be called? “The Crash,” maybe.
