Story highlights

So that their upcoming game doesn't get affected because of Taylor Swift's romance with Travis Kelce of Chiefs, the Philadelphia station has temporarily banned her songs. 

A radio station in Philadelphia has banned Taylor Swift’s music this weekend ahead of Monday night's Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs NFL game. This move is temporary as the radio station announced they will be doing their bit to support the home team as they don't want teams to get influenced courtesy of Taylor Swift’s romance with Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Chiefs.

A host named Nugget at the radio station told a local news outlet, "Q102 is punting Taylor Swift from the radio station for the entire weekend because while Q102 loves Taylor Swift, we can't get enough of her, this weekend it's really important we show our support for the Birds.”

Taylor Swift’s music will be back on the station post Tuesday, once the game is over. 

There are reports that Taylor too will attend the game. The NFL game is scheduled for Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. She is said to be a good-luck charm for Kelce and the Chiefs. The team has won every game that Swift has attended so far, and the NFL has playfully pointed out Kelce's improved on-field performance when she's there.

However, it’s highly unlikely that she will make it to the game since she is currently busy with her Eras Tour concerts. There is one for Monday evening in Rio de Janeiro. The concert was rescheduled after there was an overheating episode on the previous date. Taylor Swift postpones Rio show due to extreme heat after fan's death
