Fox News did not report Swift banned from Chiefs games

There is no such report on Fox News’ website, and a spokesperson for the news outlet said it did not report that Hunt banned Swift from Chiefs games.

“This was never reported on FOX News Channel,” Fox News spokesperson Sofie Watson told USA TODAY.

No credible reports from other news outlets support the post’s claim either, and nothing similar to the claim is mentioned in any recent statements from the Chiefs.

Fact check: Travis Kelce fined $10 million for anthem kneel? No, that started as satire.

In late September 2023, Swift attended the Chiefs’ game against the Chicago Bears, the first of many she attended to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ nine-time Pro Bowl tight end.

Hunt, the Chiefs’ CEO since 2010, told Bloomberg in August that Swift’s involvement with the team has helped boost its fan base by 30%.

“I always want to point out how happy I am for Taylor and Travis in the relationship. I’ve seen them together and they make a fantastic couple,” Hunt said, adding that “The knock-on effect has been amazing, the growth in our female fan base has been amazing over the last year.”

Hunt has also said Swift is part of the “Chiefs Kingdom,” a phrase often used to describe the team’s fan base.

USA TODAY has previously debunked numerous false claims about Swift, including that the Country Music Hall of Fame disqualified her, that CMT banned her for life and that Jason Aldean threw her out of a Toby Keith tribute concert.
