As per the PEOPLE report dated May 12, 2026, Kansas City used sourdough to unveil its schedule. The outlet said the bread theme nodded to Taylor Swift’s baking hobby and Travis Kelce.
The publication reported fans called the thread “bad” and “the most disappointing reveal ever.” Meanwhile, the report said some fans felt the team tried too hard for Swift’s audience. It also noted the official NFL schedule would be released on May 14 with 272 regular-season matchups.
