Devout Dallas Cowboys fan Skip Bayless dislikes the Philadelphia Eagles, but it seems he may dislike Taylor Swift even more.

The Eagles are Super Bowl champions again after destroying the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 Sunday night. It was their fourth appearance and second championship win since the Cowboys last appeared in a Super Bowl. You would think Bayless might be upset having to see the Cowboys division rival hoist the Lombardi Trophy, but he relished Philly’s victory.


“It was all Eagles all the time and I loved how much they put the Chiefs back in their places,” Bayless said Sunday night on his YouTube channel. “Stomped on their growing pride. Their spillover pride. Shut up the Swifties. Cry, Taylor, cry. I predicted this was gonna happen. They got even tonight for what happened in Glendale two years ago. Way to go Eagles. And condolences to Cowboy nation.”

Harsh. As if Taylor Swift’s night wasn’t hard enough, now she has to suffer through some hate from Skip Bayless?

Bayless hasn’t done much with his independent act since parting ways with Fox Sports last summer. But he has established himself as a Taylor Swift critic. He doesn’t trust Taylor Swift, he doesn’t like her music and he believes the NFL fixed Chiefs games this season to ensure her appearance at the Super Bowl.

Bayless easily could have blamed his Chiefs fatigue on wanting to root for Tom Brady to keep his distance from Patrick Mahomes in the greatest of all-time debate. But his apparent aversion to Swift and her fanbase was all the Cowboys fan needed to root for the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
