Kansas City Chiefs Owner Calls Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Romance an ‘Amazing Storyline’: ‘Great Couple’.

Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt was asked about Taylor Swift’s impact on the NFL team during a recent event.
Taylor Swift is one with Chiefs Kingdom. The Kansas City Chiefs CEO was singing Swift’s praises during a recent event, gushing over the “Fortnight” songstress’ relationship with the team’s tight end, Travis Kelce.

Clark Hunt appeared during an Athletes in Action event on Saturday in Ohio, where he was asked about Swift and her impact on the NFL organization.

“What an amazing storyline that was this past year,” he said of the pop star’s romance with Kelce, as captured by a Swiftie and shared on social media. “First of all, we’re so happy for Travis and Taylor, what a great couple. My family’s been big fans of hers for a very long time, so it’s now nice to have her as big fans of the Chiefs.”

Hunt, 59, was asked directly about the financial impact Swift’s presence has had for the Chiefs, but admitted it was “hard to quantify.”

“I happened to be at the NFL headquarters the week after she showed up for our first game,” he revealed. “I had never seen the marketing people in the league office that excited. They were giddy, they were jumping around. So I think that tells you.”

Hunt also raved about Swift’s virtual presence during the team’s recent Super Bowl LVIII ring ceremony on June 13. The 34-year-old pop star was all the way across the pond in Liverpool, England, during the event, but chimed in on an Instagram Live from Chariah Gordon, the partner of Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman.

Swift expressed her excitement through a series of enthusiastic, all-caps comments such as “YESSSSSS” and “CONGRATULATIONS,” which fans shared on social media. She also congratulated Hardman on his contract extension with the team.
