News - Past and present Kansas City Chiefs players as Taylor Swift's 'Life of a Showgirl' tracks

A new Taylor Swift album means it's time to have some fun. The singer released 'The Life of a Showgirl,' which includes 12 songs. So with that, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to assign them to Chiefs players. But here's how we're going to do it. There will be one player assigned to each song based solely on the name of the song that was picked prior to the album's release. So, let's get into it. The Fate of Ophelia QB Alex Smith In 2018, the Chiefs traded away quarterback Alex Smith after having drafted Patrick Mahomes the year prior. It was clear that Kansas City decided that Mahomes was their future, while turning away from Smith, which is just like when Ophelia was rejected by Hamlet. Elizabeth Taylor DT Chris Jones An unpredictable star defender, you never quite know what Chris Jones has up his sleeve, just like Elizabeth Taylor's next move was always a question. He also has a commanding presence on the Chiefs' defense just like Elizabeth Taylor did in everything she starred in. OT Josh Simmons Opalite is a stone that symbolizes transformation and new beginnings, and with Josh Simmons, he came in and completely transformed the Chiefs' offense. Father Figure Head Coach Andy Reid Every day, Andy Reid speaks to his players, praising them for the things they do well, while also disciplining them when they don't perform to his standard. He's the father figure of the Chiefs, as he's in charge. Eldest Daughter LB Nick Bolton Nick Bolton is someone who might not always get all the credit in each and every game, but as a linebacker, he's tasked with cleaning up messes to help the defense. And as an eldest daughter, they might have to clean everything up but not get the credit. Ruin the Friendship WR Tyreek Hill During the 2022 offseason, Tyreek Hill left the Chiefs pursuing more money, making a choice that could have kept the dynasty going if he had stayed with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Actually Romantic JuJu Smith-Schuster While he didn't have success with his previous team, the moment he joined the Chiefs he started to excel again. So his connection with Patrick Mahomes can easily be described as actually romantic. WR Xavier Worthy In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs selected receiver Xavier Worthy in the first round after he ran the fastest 40-yard dash ever at the NFL combine. So, for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, it's clear the 'fastest man alive,' as he's become known, would be a top target on their drafting wish list. And it came true! Hollywood Brown When the song title is in the player's name, it's just too easy. Rashee Rice Rice drew public attention for off-field issues and has faced disciplinary consequences, and is working through the situation. Travis Kelce If you watched 'Happy Gilmore 2,' then this one will make a lot of sense.
