Summary
Madeline and Charlotte are back with a complete gossip breakdown of the end of the Chiefs’ season — technically, there are several more games, but Kansas City is officially out of the playoffs — and Taylor Swift’s new documentary.
The gals dive into quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ injury, Travis Kelce’s comments about the end of the team’s playoff dreams on his show New Heights, and talk about Taylor Swift going to the most recent game with Kylie Kelce, podcaster and sister-in-law of Travis. Then it’s time to get into the insane parallels between how Taylor Swift runs her operation — as seen in The Eras Tour documentary — and how NFL teams operate. The gals have thoughts about the narrative Taylor is trying to get across in the documentary, and why the whole project is a political and feminist statement.
