AceShowbiz - On Thursday, April 25, the Chiefs drafted Xavier Worthy in the first round. The NFL team shared a video on Instagram capturing the moment the 20-year-old found out the news. Taylor Swift, who has been a vocal supporter of the Chiefs since dating Travis Kelce, showed her enthusiasm by liking the post.
This isn't the first time Swift has expressed her love for the Kansas City team. In her 2023 TIME Person of the Year profile, she confessed, "Football is awesome, it turns out. I've been missing out my whole life."
Swift's relationship with Kelce played a significant role in her newfound fandom. Their love story began at the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium in 2023 when Swift's "Eras Tour" performed at the venue. After the team won their second consecutive Lombardi Trophy in February, Swift celebrated with Kelce and the squad on the field.
Swift is now a regular attendee at Chiefs games, and her presence has generated considerable buzz for the team. As quarterback Patrick Mahomes acknowledged in a recent interview, "That is true. But she was, like, the TIME Person of the Year a couple of months before that, so it's really cool to be on the cover of TIME. And it does help when your best friend and your homie’s dating the most famous woman in the world."
Furthermore, Swift's latest album "The Tortured Poets Department", released on April 19, reportedly contains several songs with references to Kelce and his teammates.
