Former Mississippi State defensive back Darius Slay has seen enough — he doesn’t want to see music superstar Taylor Swift come anywhere near his Philadelphia Eagles squad.
Slay made the plea to Swift after her second appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game where the defending Super Bowl champions moved to 2-0 with Swift in the house. The Chiefs and Eagles meet on November 20 in their Super Bowl rematch at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
“Taylor Swift. She might not miss a game this year. She might not, and it looks like they 2-0 with her. If we play her. I know we play them home. Taylor, do not come to the game. Do not come to the game,” Slay emphasized in his video. “Do not come to the game because you seem like you bring the energy of winning, so do not come to that game.”
"Taylor: DO NOT COME TO THE GAME"

Slay and company could resolve matters on the field anyway. The Eagles (4-0) have a hot start and things are clicking on both sides of the ball except for the pass defense. Philadelphia ranks 27th for passing yards surrendered, 260.8 yards per game, amid injuries at defensive back.
A regular with Mississippi State for two seasons, Slay played 26 career games for the Bulldogs between 2011 and 2012 as he tallied 6 interceptions and 64 tackles.
