(00:43):
Swift had already been getting to knoweach other for about a month when she
attended her first Chiefs game on Septembertwenty fourth, twenty twenty three. Kelsey
said he had invited her to thegame a few days prior, so her
attendance was not out of the blue. Since then, Swift has attended an
impressive twelve of Kelt's games to cheerhim on. Kelsey appreciates Swift's support at

(01:06):
games, saying I love it whenTaylor comes and supports me and enjoys the
game with the fam and friends.While Kelty acknowledges the media attention on their
relationship is brand new, he sayshe's having fun with it. However,
he did call out all the crankyNFL fans that just don't want to see

she's faced. Kelsey called his relationshipwith Swift a beautiful thing and said he

Some figures on the political right havespread conspiracy theory. Hees baselessly claiming
the NFL rigged the Chief's success toprop up Swift and Kelsey's relationship as part

right wing broadcaster even claimed the SuperBowl itself is rigged and that Swift will
perform at halftime with Kelsey to officiallyendorse Biden for reelection. However, Swift

(02:22):
publicly endorse Biden back in twenty twentywithout any NFL involvement. Some speculate these
conspiracy theories or an attempt to preemptivelydiscredit Swift's political impact before twenty twenty four.
Swift does have major influence as anentertainer with one of the largest fan
bases worldwide, and both she andKelty have made statements supporting liberal policies over
