The Philadelphia Eagles fans have taken the pre-match rivalry to a new level ahead of the Super Bowl today, and Taylor Swift is not likely to be impressed.
The Eagles will be taking on the Kansas City Chiefs at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, with the Chiefs and Travis Kelce chasing an unprecedented three-peat.
Plenty of Eagles fans have made the trip down to New Orleans for the match, with or without a ticket, and Kelce seems to be who they are aiming their anger at.

A group of fans made a pinata that had Kelce's face on it, and they proceeded to take turns smashing it up in the street.
Many fans feel that this sort of gesture is taking a sporting rivalry way too far and it is frowned upon, whilst others think that it is just a bit of fun to help build an atmosphere ahead of Super Bowl LIX.
Another harsh gesture
The Chiefs have been subjected to these sorts of happenings before this season, with the Buffalo Bills hanging an effigy of Kermit the Frog which was wearing Patrick Mahomes' jersey.
Imitating the hanging of someone is certainly a more extreme gesture than a pinata, but neither leave a great taste in the mouth.
Swift or Kelce have not made any comment about the behavior from the Eagles fans, and they are not likely to at this stage.
Kelce may have enough on his plate given he is preparing for the match and has also been out with Swift in New Orleans.
Generally, players stay in their hotel this close to the biggest game of the season and do not risk any incidents or distractions with the outside world.
Instead, Kelce and Swift were seen having a date together in a French restaurant on Friday night.
They were holding hands at a French restaurant called Lilette on Magazine Street, and there was plenty of fans waiting at the steps to film them leaving, meaning the footage was soon everywhere.
