The Patriots are making it clear they are not fans of Taylor Swift ahead of their game against Travis Kelce and the Chiefs on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The popstar has become a regular at Kansas City games in the past few months as her relationship with tight end Kelce has dominated the headlines.<\/p>\n
She could be in attendance in Foxborough on Sunday when the Chiefs look to get back to winning ways against the struggling Patriots.<\/p>\n
But, just a day after coach Bill Belichick dismissed questions about the pop star on a radio show, quarterback Bailey Zappe has admitted he’s not a fan of Swift’s music.<\/p>\n
During a radio appearance, he said: ‘No ma’am. No ma’am. This is not a shot at Taylor Swift.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe has admitted he’s ‘not a fan’ of Taylor Swift’s music<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Travis Kelce and the Chiefs play the Patriots on Sunday and Swift could be in attendance again\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I’m not not a fan, I just don’t listen to that music.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Is she Country? I’m a Country guy. So that’s probably why since she transferred over to pop.<\/p>\n
‘I know some of her old songs whenever she was in Country. I mean\u2026I don’t dislike her.’<\/p>\n
On Monday, Belichick was equally dismissive when asked about the prospect of meeting Swift on Sunday.<\/p>\n
During a radio appearance on WEEI’s ‘The Greg Hill Show’, Belichick was first asked whether or not he would be meeting the 12-time Grammy winner.<\/p>\n
He replied: ‘I’m really focused on trying to get our team ready to play Kansas City.’<\/p>\n
Then, later on, he was asked by co-host Courtney Cox whether or not she could get a spare ticket in the hope she would meet Swift.<\/p>\n
Belichick, unenthusiastically, replied: ‘I\u2019ll pass that along to our ticket department\u2026 I don\u2019t really know anything about tickets.’<\/p>\n

Patriots coach Bill Belichick shut down two questions about Swift on a radio show on Monday<\/p>\n
He was previously happy to discuss Kelce and Swift’s relationship after her first outing at a Chiefs game, however.<\/p>\n
The eight-time Super Bowl winner said: ‘Well, I would say that Travis Kelce has had a lot of big catches in his career. This would be the biggest.’<\/p>\n
He also called her ‘tough’ after the 71-year-old saw her perform in torrential rain during an Eras Tour show in Foxborough earlier this year.<\/p>\n
Sunday’s loss to the Bills was the sixth Chiefs game Swift has been at this season and probably the most controversial.<\/p>\n
She watched on as Kelce tossed a lateral pass to Kadarius Toney deep into the fourth quarter, allowing him to run into the end zone.<\/p>\n
However, the play was called back by the officials for an offside against the receiver and the Chiefs went on to lose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
