Taylor Swift grew up as a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. Only recently did she convert to the Kansas City Chiefs by nature of her relationship with Travis Kelce.
The international pop icon is officially engulfed in her fandom to the fullest extent after the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night.
Swift “liked” an Instagram post of Xavier Worthy’s reaction to being picked by the Chiefs.
Kansas City traded up four spots to select the former Texas pass-catcher and he was thrilled. As was his new teammate’s extremely famous girlfriend!
Taylor Swift approves of the Xavier Worthy pick.
If you’re an NFL fan, you know that it’s a deep cut to be liking Draft posts. That’s dedication.
It also creates a hilarious mental image.
Now, I do not know what Swift did or did not know about football prior to last season. She may have been drawing plays long before she even considered going out with Kelce. But I doubt it…
There is no way that the 34-year-old tight end was not watching the first round. I am going to imagine that his girlfriend was with him. Let’s assume that they were watching together.
Kelce had to explain to Swift why Kansas City traded up with their AFC rivals to draft a 160-pound 20-year-old who will only take targets away from him. He was undoubtedly pumped. She probably needed a minute to understand why he was so excited.
Once they got all of that sorted out, Taylor Swift is on board. The front office in Missouri received a nod of approval from the most popular celebrity in the world even though she was not even a fan of the team until last summer. In turn, they — and Worthy — received the support of millions and millions of Swifties!
