An NFL commentator fired a brutal dig at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce during Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
Chiefs went into the NFL season-ending game looking to become the first team ever to win three consecutive Super Bowls, but their dream unravelled in unexpected fashion during the first three quarters.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a nightmare evening in New Orleans as the Eagles defence cut off passing lanes and intercepted several of his pass attempts, which led to forced turnovers.
It was also a difficult Super Bowl for Kelce, who had little impact on proceedings and barely had a meaningful touch of the football before the final quarter.

There were post-match rumours about whether the 35-year-old tight-end has played his last game in the NFL, but Kelce has yet to comment.
In attendance at the Caesars Superdrome in New Orleans was Kelce's partner Swift, with the camera panning to the American pop icon on several occasions during the match.
She was booed by sections of the Eagles-heavy crowd - but her response appeared to say everything as to how much the boos affected her.

On another occasion, the NFL feed panned to Swift when Chiefs were down 0-17 in the second quarter - at which point one commentator decided to aim a savage dig at the pair.
He said: "She hasn't had much to cheer about yet, because Travis Kelce hasn't caught a ball."
Speaking after the game, Kelce was at a loss to describe Chiefs' 40-22 defeat to the Eagles, stating that it was their worst game of the season.

He told reporters: "I think there were a lot of things going wrong. The whole night, it was an accumulative of everything. It's going to hurt. We haven't played that badly all year."
