While many NFL fans were swapping conspiracy theories about refs helping the Chiefs get a win, Taylor Swift and Caitlin Clark cozied up in their private skybox. Don’t worry, Taylor didn’t give anything for TikTok lip-readers to call her on as she whispered secrets to her new bestie. Blake and Caroline discuss what she might’ve been saying in the weekend's most widely memed moment.


In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover:


  • Ryan Reynolds invested in another football club while battling a $400 million lawsuit from Justin Baldoni
  • Coco Gauff’s RIP message to TikTok, plus the role the app has played in elevating athletes in pop culture
  • Caroline casts the four remaining playoff teams as the hot jock, boy-next-door, bully, and shy girl 
  • Brittany Mahomes bounced back to the sidelines after giving birth just days before
  • Saquon Barkley is having a moment and Alex Cooper was there 
  • Our favorite Send Its of the week including Ilona Maher’s broken nose, Josh Allen’s Golden Retriever Energy on full display, and the Lions dirty dancing in the end zone
