McCaffrey and the San Francisco 49ers will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 11.
Ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, Christian McCaffrey’s mom is playfully stirring up some bad blood with Taylor Swift.
During a recent episode of her Your Mom podcast, Lisa McCaffrey announced that until the big game between her son’s team, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Kansas City Chiefs, she and her crew have labeled Taylor as “persona non grata” and have forbidden her catalog of music.
“I refuse to listen to Taylor Swift songs for the next 11 days,” Lisa, 55, said on her podcast. “I love her, I love the relationship, but yep, we are boycotting any T. Swift songs.”
Taylor, 34, is an obvious supporter of the Chiefs as her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is a veteran tight end with the team. Travis, 34, has been to the Super Bowl twice before, both times resulting in wins for the Missouri NFL team.
In her most recent podcast episode, the mom of the 49ers running back said that the boycott will be a difficult one for her as she and her older son, Max, are “both big Swifties,” but that they are committed to the cause.
“If she pops up on the radio station … nope,” Lisa said, laughing.“She’s dead to us this week.”
Lisa is one of the two women in McCaffrey’s life who are showing him unequivocal support going into the game, the other being the running back’s fiancée, Olivia Culpo.
After the 49ers beat the Detroit Lions for a Super Bowl spot on Jan. 29, Culpo, 31, took to Instagram to show her love for her fiancé in a reel compilation of some of their moments together throughout the season.
“Watching the love of your life live out his dream is the best feeling in the world,” Culpo wrote at the time.
Super Bowl LVIII will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 11, 2024, and airs on CBS. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET (3:30 p.m. PT). The game will also be streaming on Paramount+, Hulu + Live TV, and FuboTV.
Kelce and Reid have won three Super Bowls together over the last five seasons
Travis Kelce isn’t going to play for anybody other than Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.
On the latest episode of Travis’ New Heights podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, the 34-year-old NFL star said he’d quit playing football if Reid quit coaching.
Travis’ comment came as he and his brother were discussing the Chiefs star’s widely debated outburst towards Reid on the sideline during Sunday night’s Super Bowl game.
“I’m a passionate guy,” Kelce said, talking about the moment he bumped into Reid while yelling at him on the sideline. “I love Coach Reid, Coach Reid knows how much I love to play for him, how much I love to be a product of his coaching career. I’m not playing for anybody else but Big Red. If he calls it quits this year I’m out of there with him, man.”
Jason responded saying, “He ain't calling it quits, come on now.”
“He’s not,” Travis said.
Reid, 65, has been an NFL head coach for 25 seasons. He's coached the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chiefs, winning three Super Bowls with Kansas City.
Reid confirmed he's planning to return to coach the Chiefs next season shortly after winning the Super Bowl on Sunday.

After the admission that he'll only play for Reid, Travis went on to explain what happened between him and his coach during the Super Bowl.
Travis and Reid have a close relationship, both joining the Chiefs in 2013 and winning three Super Bowls together in the last five seasons. They’ve frequently showed emotion towards each other on the sideline, but Sunday’s exchange was caught on camera and shown during the Super Bowl broadcast on CBS in front of a record-breaking television audience.

During and after the game, fans debated whether Travis had taken things too far when he grabbed his coach’s arm and yelled in his face, or whether it was simply a passionate exchange between a football player and his coach about the game.
“I’ve got a certain relationship with him,” Travis explained during the podcast. “He’s checked me a few times and I just wanted to let him know that I wanted this thing, and he can put it on me and I got him. It came at a moment where we weren’t playing very well — I wasn't playing very well — and we had to get some shit going. And sometimes those emotions get away from me, and that’s been the battle of my career. Everybody else? I don’t give a shit what anybody else says.”

Travis added that he and Reid have since spoken about the incident: “I talked to Coach Reid about it today and we kind of chuckled about it. I couldn’t be more proud of being his product on the field and I couldn’t be more proud of where we've come as a team since I got here in 2013. And I just love playing for the guy and unfortunately my passion comes out where it looks like it's negativity, but I’m grateful he knows that it’s all because I want to win this thing with him more than anything.”
The Chiefs went on to win the Super Bowl 25-22 in overtime over the San Francisco 49ers. After the game, both Reid and Travis laughed off the incident and downplayed the seriousness of their sideline exchange.
“He caught me off balance,” Reid told ESPN after the game. “I wasn’t watching. He was really coming over [and saying], ‘Just put me in, I’ll score. I’ll score.’ So, that’s really what it was. I love that. It’s not the first time. I appreciate him.“

Having the eyes of the world upon you, as is currently the case for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, evokes admiration from many but also envy from a few. Kelce, who not only won his third Super Bowl last Sunday but is also the current partner of Taylor Swift, the most renowned artist on the planet.
However, in the era of the Internet and social media, there always remains a tweet from the past or a video that may cause discomfort years later. Such is the case with a video from 2020, on the day the Chiefs won the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers, which shows Kelce's ex-girlfriend running excitedly onto the field at the end of the game to hug and kiss him.

That woman is influencer Kayla Nicole, who was Kelce's partner for five years. In the video, which has resurfaced in recent days, they are seen as a loving and happy couple. Thus, the question on many people's minds is whether the idea of making this video viral again is to make Taylor Swift jealous.
Did he make a mistake in ending things with her?
Last September, a video of Kayla Nicole modeling spectacularly on one of the runways of New York Fashion Week went viral. Kayla posted the video on Instagram, and immediately several fans commented on whether Kelce did the right thing in ending things with her or, as some pointed out, "dropped the ball."
Kayla noted that it was the first time she had walked a runway in several years and that she felt very good about doing so, as it was a way to 'celebrate' her body and various situations she had been through.
Travis and Kayla began their relationship in 2017, briefly ended it in 2019, and got back together from 2020 to early 2022. Although the reason for their breakup was never publicly disclosed, some close to the couple pointed out that it was due to financial differences.
