Fox Sports is facing the wrath of Swifties after a bizarre skit they put on during their pre-game show.
The network broadcast last Sunday's game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday and put together a fake movie trailer detailing Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's love story.
The skit, titled 'My Big Fat Chiefs Wedding' (a play on the movie 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding'), was a 2000s-style movie trailer that rubbed fans of the 'Cruel Summer' singer the wrong way.
'She's one of the most successful musical artists in the world, and he's six-foot-five. But somehow, they still found love,' said a voiceover playing over clips of the couple.
The trailer then cut to an actor who was playing a crude portrayal of Kelce: 'Hey guys, it's me, Travis Kelce. Guess what? I'm getting married.'
The rest of the trailer played out with jokes about Swift's roots in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Swift's budding interest in the sport, and more.

NSYNC member Joey Fatone, who appeared in the original My Big Fat Greek Wedding, even made a cameo in the commercial via FaceTime to the fake Kelce.
'No, I'm not doing this,' Fatone said. 'I'm a Giants fan.'
Fake Kelce responded, 'Well I'm a Backstreet Boys fan. Bye bye bye.'
Fans of the sport didn't love the skit, with many taking to X to slate it.
'As soon as it started I just turned the channel,' one fan wrote via X.
Another wrote, 'I have to imagine some illegal substances and cold pizza at 2 am was involved in the planning and maybe even the execution of this.'
Popular sports media account Awful Announcing called the trailer 'a tough watch.'
Fox did end up interviewing Kelce, with the tight end chatting to Erin Andrews about his fiancée.
'It's been an exciting, exciting ride up to this day,' Kelce said. 'I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her.'
