- Jordon Hudson posts Belichick email with Taylor Swift song after awkward interview
The girlfriend of North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick posted a statement on social media days after the CBS interview featuring the six-time Super Bowl winner was criticized after she interrupted several times and shut down a question about how the couple met.
Jordon Hudson shared a screenshot of an email from Belichick, seemingly to members of his camp, accompanied by the Taylor Swift song "Look What You Made Me Do."

"I don't think this is fantastic, but it probably will hype the book, which is clearly the ongoing theme here," Belichick's email starts. "This is about what I expected from the media."
Belichick appeared on the network to promote his new book, "The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football."
"We went through how important it was for me to put "I (expletive) up" in the book, and of course, that is the feature of this article - which is mostly about admitting mistakes and talking about a Super Bowl mistake. I am fine with putting mistakes in the book, but I am certainly not surprised that of 260+ pages, that is what they would highlight." the email said.

The 73-year-old Belichick seemed to have a problem with the promotion of the book and how the media is covering it.

"I will say again, that I want this book to be presented as a look at my professional life and how I did my job on the way up to, and as the leader of an organization that grew from a $500 m franchise to an $8 b organization that played in 10 and won 6 Super Bowls over 25 years. This book is about how I did my job, and lessons from my 50 years in and around the NFL - not a bathroom book that highlights my mistakes.
"I have, at times reluctantly, gone along with the title, cover, and language in the book. I am not going to be the conductor of a hype train in the book promotion — we have enough hype to work with.
"I hope we can get on the same page in promoting the book authentically."
Hudson said she will release a full statement on Tuesday.
