With excitement around the Super Bowl this Sunday, NASCAR driver Marco Andretti took a dig at Taylor Swift's fans. With only a few hours left until the Kansas City Chiefs meet the San Francisco 49ers, Andretti wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
"Guys. I need an update on @taylorswift13‘s whereabouts and her jet fuel consumption. Haven’t had one in day."
In his tweet, Marco Andretti ironically points out that the Super Bowl is no longer the focus of social media but rather Swift's activities.
The stock car driver's comments were voiced amid the social media hype around the relationship between Travis Kelce of the Chiefs and music star Taylor Swift.
Swift's fans, named "Swifties,” make their presence felt on social media and have been watching her every step, including her planned appearance at the Las Vegas event where her boyfriend is supposed to perform tonight.
Swifties are debating whether Swift would be there to cheer on her boyfriend, and Marco Andretti's comments seem like an ironic reply to point out the huge amount of attention on Swift's location.
The Super Bowl is starting in a few hours, and it's still uncertain whether Swift will show up to cheer for Kelce and the Chiefs or not.
