Who is Dani Beckstrom? ABC reporter goes viral over Taylor Swift comments ahead of Chiefs vs. Jets

ABC reporter Dani Beckstrom has become the talk of the town on social media. The journalist made headlines on Thursday following her cheeky comments on music sensation Taylor Swift ahead of Sunday's NFL Week 4 clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets.

After it was reported that Swift would be in attendance for the Chiefs vs. Jets game at MetLife Stadium this weekend, Beckstrom aimed a sly dig at the New York outfit and said:

"Taylor Swift proving she's just like us... just a woman having to suffer through a Jets game for a man."

The Jets (2-1) have had a poor start to the 2023 season. They lost starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Week 1 and promoted Zach Wilson as their new QB1. However, the former BYU signal-caller hasn't found it easy to navigate the ship in recent weeks.

Some pointed out that Beckstrom might have been referring to Wilson as the man she was suffering for through a Jets game since they both graduated from BYU. Others claimed that she was pointing out that Swift might be attending the game to watch Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in action..
