Patti LaBellewantsTaylor Swiftto be prepared for a loss fromTravis Kelceand the Kansas City Chiefs as they face off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday in a Super Bowl LVII rematch.
DuringFriday’s episodeofTamron Hall, the 79-year-old singer predicted that her home football team will defeat the Chiefs.
The Philadelphia native joinedTamron Hallto share some of her festive recipes ahead of the holiday season, including a five-cheese mac and cheese and collard greens.
While the two women were indulging in the singer’s signature dishes, Hall shared a conversation she had with one of her producers about the upcoming game, in which they teased each other about who would win. Hall, 53, said the producer believed Swift, 33, whohas been romantically linked to Kelce since September, could help their chances.
“She had the nerve to say to me, ‘Well, the Chiefs are playing the Eagles and the Chiefs have Taylor Swift,' " Hall said, before telling the audience, “I said ‘The Eagles got Patti LaBelle.’ ”

The “Lady Marmalade” singer then turned away from Hall and the audience in disbelief before stating her home team will leave with a win.
“Let me say something. Taylor, and all your Swifties, back up boo boo. The [Chiefs] are going down.”
She continued, “The Eagles are going to win. I mean it’s a done deal. I love you Taylor but stay home.”
LaBelle recently joined the Eagles as a surprise singer for their holiday album,A Philly Special Christmas Special.
