It’s impossible to properly document the Kansas City Chiefs‘ past two NFL seasons without mentioning Taylor Swift, whose presence at games amid her romance with tight end Travis Kelce has propelled the team to new levels of fame since 2023.
Luckily, ESPN’s new docuseries The Kingdom — which chronicles the Chiefs’ unsuccessful quest to win a third consecutive Super Bowl in 2024 — does just that. In an interview with People at the Sunday (Aug. 24) premiere of the six-part project, the team’s owner, Clark Hunt, confirmed that it definitely gives a “fun … little peek into Travis’ relationship with Taylor.”
“There were definitely some elements of that where there were some new things that we learned,” he continued on the red carpet. “We all lived the experience of having her join the Chief’s Kingdom a couple of years ago, and hearing the recounting of her coming to that first game, really from her perspective, I thought was really unique.”
The first game Swift ever attended was the Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears match-up in September 2023, an event that set the still-ongoing “Tayvis” mania into motion. The singer is now a fixture at Kansas City home games, often cheering on her boyfriend from a box suite at Arrowhead Stadium.
And while Swift was not present at the premiere of The Kingdom, Kelce and his parents, Donna and Ed, were. Also on the red carpet, the athlete’s father gushed that his son’s contagiously cheerful demeanor can be attributed to one person: “Taylor.”
“There’s no question about it,” Ed added at the event in Kansas City, noting that he thought Swift’s recent cameo on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast was “awesome.” “They’re two people obviously very much in love.”
