Taylor Swift should have no trouble finding Orchard Park. She’s already been to WNY – three times

That’s the question on the minds of Taylor Swift fans hoping their hero is going to make an appearance at Highmark Stadium Sunday when the Buffalo Bills take on the Kansas City Chiefs and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

But while Swifties and the rest of the world await the equivalent of a white puff of smoke from Vatican City – in this case, maybe a tweet from Nashville? – this is a reminder that she has made her way here at least three times before.
