YouTuber Dr Disrespect has had numerous feuds with others in the streaming world, and now he’s taking on his biggest foe yet in the form of Taylor Swift.

The Super Bowl LVIII matchup is set, with Dr Disrespect’s San Francisco 49ers taking on The Kansas City Chiefs – but the two-time is setting his eyes on an opponent cheering from the sidelines.

Since the start of the 2023 NFL season, Taylor Swift has been in the Kansas City Chiefs’ corner, rooting for her tight end boyfriend Travis Kelce.

Meanwhile, Doc has been a loyal supporter of the 49ers, and on February 11, the two will collide – something Dr Disrespect highlighted on social media ahead of the Super Bowl.

Dr Disrespect takes aim at new NFL rival Taylor Swift

In a post on X, Dr Disrespect shared artwork from graphic novel colorist Steve Hamaker featuring the streamer and the Speak Now artist in a faceoff surrounded by players for their teams.

“Let’s get this rivalry going! This year’s Super Bowl will be epic!” the artist captioned his photo.

The two-time then reposted the graphic along with his own caption, indicating that he now viewed Taylor as just another obstacle to overcome with his 37” vertical leap.

“A new rivalry has begun,” he said.

The comments on the post didn’t disappoint, with viewers chiming in with their own thoughts and comical observations about the upcoming football game and the new rivalry with Taylor Swift.

“Which 49er are you dating?” someone joked.

“You already win. Your music is better,” said another, referencing songs that Doc has released in the past.

It will be interesting to see if Dr Disrespect and Taylor Swift end up coming face-to-face at the Super Bowl, as surely both will be in attendance for the biggest game of the year – and the most expensive in NFL history.
