A Kansas City nu-metal band named Dirty Machine has unveiled a music video for their song “Ego Killer” featuring a Taylor Swift impersonator — just in time for the Super Bowl.
Frontman and Kansas City Chiefs fan David Leach told Fox Sports that the backlash against both the football team and tight end Travis Kelce’s relationship with Swift inspired the song and music video.
“I could see it [early on in the season], the team was going to come back, prove everyone wrong, and you were going to have Taylor Swift doing her thing and rocking up at the Super Bowl,” said Leach.
He added, “The Chiefs are the villains now; everyone is against us. We are in our Darth Vader stage, they hate us. Having Taylor Swift involved and be part of this great story just makes the haters even angrier. Our song ‘Ego Killer,’ that’s us talking to the football world and all the doubters.

The Shins have a great tune "So Says I," but now it's time for a hazy "So Now What." The indie rockers -- who have been curbed more recently as James Mercer has pursued other musics with Danger Mouse in their project Broken Bells -- contributed the new tune to Zach Braff's "Wish I Were Here" film, which went the crowd-funding route last year. As you'll remember, Natalie Portman famously put headphones on Braff's head to the tune of The Shins "New Slang" in the former "Scrubs" star's directorial debut "Garden State" (2004). "It'll change your life, I swear," her character Sam says. Well, it certainly did change the band life of The Shins. So the circle of life continues. "Wish I Was Here" also has new songs from the likes of Bon Iver, Coldplay and Cat Power, plus previously released songs from The Head and the Heart and Hozier.
