Feeling '22': How DeAndre Hopkins may have given away Chiefs trade with Taylor Swift
Another week, another wide receiver trade in the NFL. The Kansas City Chiefs traded a conditional fifth-round draft pick to the Tennessee Titans for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
Following injuries to wide receivers Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown, Kansas City was looking for an upgrade at the position. The five-time Pro Bowler Hopkins bolsters the pass-catching corps of an undefeated Chiefs team looking to make its third consecutive Super Bowl run.

Though this trade came down Wednesday, Hopkins posted a video on his Instagram page three days ago that may have tipped off the trade - thanks to Taylor Swift.
DeAndre Hopkins' Taylor Swift prediction
Hopkins' post included a video of his family dancing in a car to Taylor Swift's song "22" with the caption "rumor has it."
Fans quickly caught on, many commenting about a move to the Chiefs.
Hopkins has been involved in trade rumors for weeks after the Titans' poor start to the 2024 NFL season. Those only intensified with the Amari Cooper and Davante Adams trades last week.
Now, he'll be with the Super Bowl favorite and has already bought into the Swift hype surrounding the team.
