The script was already written.
The fix was in.
That’s what fans were saying as two worlds collided before Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.
While the Kansas City Chiefs prepared for a 25-22 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers inside Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, international pop music star Taylor Swift didn’t just fly from Japan to attend the big game.
She hung out with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in a suite an hour before kickoff.
The sight of Swift chatting with and hugging Goodell sent social media ablaze.
“I’d like to make a couple of changes to the script,” one fan tweeted.
“Hahaha it’s already starting,” a second fan wrote.
“And here we go again … ” a third fan posted.
“She’s not what we came to watch. Please not today,” a fourth fan said.
“Discussing the script,” a fifth offered.
While Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, delivered an emotional pregame speech to his teammates, the pop star had an even bigger chat with the biggest name in the NFL.
“RIGGED,” a fan tweeted.
“When Kelce catches the game-winning touchdown, we’ll escort you down to the field, but don’t run up to him until the confetti flies,” a second fan joked.
“Fix is in,” a third fan wrote.
Some NFL fans seriously believe the league is scripted and the league has at times jokingly played into that theory.
With Swift chatting up Goodell in a suite, conspiracy theorist fans will have a field day, believing the script for Super Bowl LVIII has already been written.
