Taylor Swift is famous for her daring fashion choices. However, her recent look at a Kansas City Chiefs game received a lot of criticism from people online.
The main issue was her outfit, which featured a large red Kansas City Chiefs t-shirt that she turned into a loose mini dress. In classic Swift style, she matched this with thigh-high black leather boots, a black crossbody bag, and several gold chains.
She finished her look with hoop earrings and her signature bold red lipstick, while her blonde hair flowed in messy waves. Swift made a strong fashion statement as she arrived and later cheered from the Chiefs’ VIP suite.
Fans are used to seeing her push the limits of fashion, but her outfit for the game didn’t please everyone. Many comments appeared on social media, with one user asking, “With all her money, that’s what she wears?”
Critics also noted that her outfit felt mismatched compared to the wives and girlfriends of other players, who wore more typical game-day outfits. One commenter remarked, “She dresses like a teenager.”
Viewership of Kelce’s games has increased, with fans and commentators saying that Swift’s celebrity influence has brought more attention to an already popular sport.
Some people wondered if her recent fashion changes are part of a bigger publicity plan since her relationship with Travis Kelce became known. One user commented, “Her outfits are getting goofier. Does she really need the attention? It seems like since being with Kelce, she’s all about PR.”
Since Swift’s rumored relationship with Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce became public, the attention surrounding his games has skyrocketed. Known for her ability to influence culture, Swift has added a new level of excitement to the NFL, especially for the Chiefs.
Viewership of Kelce’s games has increased significantly, with fans and commentators crediting Swift’s star power for drawing more attention to an already popular sport. It’s no surprise that her influence extends to everything she engages with, from music to football.
Despite his impressive career, Kelce’s increased attention isn’t just because of his skills on the field. Much of it comes from Swift being in the stands. With this heightened spotlight, both Kelce and Swift are facing more scrutiny than ever.
If you find a tick inside your home, here’s what you need to know
Nature is the home to an incredibly versatile array of species, but ticks are definitely one of those that we tend to avoid at all costs.
These tiny arachnids, that are related to spiders, mites, and scorpions, are in fact parasites that survive by attaching themselves to larger animals and feeding on their blood. Humans aren’t spared either. Sadly, these insects carry harmful bacteria that can spread disease to people.
Sadly, tick-borne diseases are at an all-time high, with about 50,000 cases reported each year, and far more going unreported.
There are different types of ticks, and unfortunately, they sometimes find their way to people’s homes. The types most commonly found in homes are the black-legged tick, the dog tick, and the brown dog tick.
- Black-legged Ticks – known as deer ticks, these ticks are typically brown or black in color and have a flattened, oval-shaped body. They are commonly found in wooded areas and can transmit Lyme disease.
- Dog Ticks are larger and can range in color from brown to reddish-brown. They have a tough, shield-shaped body. Dog ticks can transmit diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
- Brown Dog Ticks are brown in color and have a slender body.
Although the tick season is between March and October, or sometimes longer, we should be wary of this insects all year round. In fact,if beaten by a tick, a person can develop symptoms even after two or three months.
The bite itself isn’t painful and can cause swelling, itchiness, blistering, and bruising. The bad thing is that ticks also carry and transmit severe diseases, most commonly Lyme disease, as well as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, and babesiosis.
Initially, Lyme disease develops as a circular red ‘bull’s eye’ rash around the site of a tick bite. However, not everyone gets a rash and you should also watch out for a flu-like illness with fever, headache, tiredness and general aches and pains.
The best way to prevent being bitten by a tick is to avoid tall grasses and areas where ticks thrive (such as moorlands and woodlands), especially during the warmer months.
In case you do get bitten, you should remove the tick as soon as possible in order to prevent infections.
These are some of the ways of safe removal.
- Use fine-tipped tweezers: Use clean, fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible.
- Pull gently: Apply steady upward pressure, being careful not to squeeze or crush the tick. Aim to remove the tick in one smooth motion without twisting or jerking. Twisting or jerking can cause the tick’s head to break off and stay inside the skin, where it can still transmit disease.
- Clean the area: After removing the tick, clean the affected area with soap and water or an antiseptic solution. Monitor the site of the bite for any signs of infection or a rash, and consult a healthcare professional if necessary.
If by any chance ticks find their way into your home, take immediate action in order to prevent infestation. Most times, ticks are brought into your home in case they stick on your clothes or onto your pets.
- Isolate the area: If you have identified the presence of ticks in a specific area, keep pets and children away from that space.
- Wear protective gear: Put on gloves and a long-sleeved shirt to protect yourself from potential tick bites.
- Clean the area: Clean the area where you found the tick. If it is in bedding, wash the sheets. Inspect the area to ensure there are no more ticks that are present. Dispose of the tick by either flushing it down the toilet or sealing it in a container or ziplock bag before placing it in the trash.
