The Kansas City Chiefs will never be able to escape Taylor Swift. 

And other teams can't help but use her to try and troll the Chiefs. The Los Angeles Chargers are the latest to do it. 

Prior to the 2024 NFL Schedule release, teams are having a ton of fun on their social media page. With the opponents having already been announced, teams are posting "our 2024 opponents as…"

For the Chargers, they went with Poptarts. And their pick for the Chiefs included an incredible yet also very obscure reference to the singer. 

On the plate with the Poptart appears to be ketchup and ranch. 

This goes back to a photo one fan took with Swift at a Chiefs game while the singer was eating. On her plate was a piece of chicken with ketchup and seemingly ranch. 

After this photo was posted, everyone was leaning into this new storyline. One account even came up with a new idea for an Eras Tour outfit. Hidden Valley Ranch and Heinz also reacted to the attention. 

But the best moment of all was when New York City's iconic Empire State Building lit up in red and white. 

This is the kind of impact Swift has. 

And the Chiefs aren't complaining since Swift has brought in a ton of new fans for Kansas City after the signer's relationship with Travis Kelce went public. 

Got to give the Chargers social media some credit. This was an impressive Swiftie reference.
