Swift Effect
Attribution to iHeartRadioCA The Kansas Chiefs played a late afternoon game, on Sunday, against the Chicago Bears. The game was a farce. Kansas City killed Chicago 41-10. But that was not the main story. The main story was that Taylor Swift was at the game. She was watching her possibly new beau, Kansas City superstar…
