As sure as there’s wind in the West, we’ve got ourselves a story that’s more intriguing than a rattlesnake in a boot sale. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has just declared himself Taylor Swift’s number one fan, and if that doesn’t beat all.
Like a touchdown pass in overtime, Jones threw this bombshell during his appearance on Dallas radio: “We would have an elaborate seat for her if she should attend the game. There’s nobody a bigger fan of Taylor Swift than I am.” Now that’s what I call putting your cards on the table, face-up and all in.
The declaration comes ahead of what promises to be a Turkey Day showdown between the Cowboys and the Kansas City Chiefs at AT&T Stadium. And let me tell you something, friends – this story’s got more layers than a West Texas onion.
Swift, who’s been making more headlines than a politician in an election year, has been spotted at Chiefs games like bluebonnets in springtime. She’s attended two games this season already – Week 2 against the Eagles and Week 4 facing the Ravens. And as sure as summer follows spring, it’s all tied to her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, which began blossoming like a desert rose in 2023.
While Jones is rolling out the red carpet faster than a tumbleweed in a windstorm, his Cowboys are facing some harsh realities that are sticking out like a sore thumb at a piano recital. With a 1-2-1 record, the Cowboys’ defense is leakier than an old tin roof in a thunderstorm, allowing 420.5 yards per game – dead last in the NFL.
Now, the offense? That’s a different story altogether. They’re leading the league with 404.3 yards per game, moving down the field like a hot knife through Texas butter. But as any old football sage will tell you, you can’t win championships with just one side of the ball.
If the Cowboys don’t patch up their defense faster than a rancher mending fence posts, that Thanksgiving matchup might give Jones more heartburn than a jalapeno-eating contest. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce could end up having themselves a feast that has nothing to do with turkey and stuffing.

The immediate future holds different paths for these teams. The Cowboys are set to face the winless Jets (0-4) this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, while Swift’s beloved Chiefs (2-2) will battle the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-1) under the Monday night lights at 8:15 p.m. ET.
And that’s the way it is – a story about football, fame, and a Texas-sized welcome that’s as big as the Lone Star State itself. Whether Swift shows up at AT&T Stadium or not, one thing’s certain as sunrise – Jerry Jones has thrown down the welcome mat with more enthusiasm than a homecoming parade in small-town Texas.
