Taylor Swift’s one-word comment caught the Chiefs’ owner’s attention

The Kansas City Chiefs received their 2024 Super Bowl ring during a black-tie gala on June 13. Even though Taylor Swift couldn’t be there in person to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, she watched virtually from Liverpool.

Swift’s sold-out international “Eras” tour kept her from joining the team’s celebration, but her comments on Chariah Gordon’s livestream caught the attention of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt.

Speaking at an Athletes in Action event on June 15, Clark expressed delight in the one word Swift used to applaud the Chiefs’ success and signing of Mecole Hardman, Gordon’s longtime partner.

“She’s in Liverpool this week and we had a ceremony a few nights ago, where she stayed up, it was about 4 a.m. in Liverpool, and she sent out a communication on social media that used the word “We.” So she’s definitely part of the Chef Kingdom,” Clark said.

Swift’s comments on Gordon’s livestream quickly went viral, as fans loved seeing the singer’s unbridled enthusiasm. “CONGRATULATIONS,” she wrote on Gordon’s video before adding, “AND WE’RE GIVING ANOTHER YEAR OF SCHOOL.”

Earlier this month, the Chiefs re-signed the veteran to a one-year deal worth $1.25 million, a move that came as a surprise.

After Kansas City traded for Hardman in October, he missed five games with a thumb injury. He recorded just 14 passes for 118 yards in six regular season games. Although he did not play a significant role throughout the playoffs, Hardman caught the touchdown in the Chiefs’ 25-22 overtime Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

During the on-field celebration at Allegiant Stadium, Taylor Swift found Hardman and gave him a huge hug. KMBC 9 mics picked up part of his conversation in which the “Blank Space” singer told Hardman, “So happy for you guys! »

Chiefs News: Clark Hunt commented on Taylor Swift’s financial impact on the franchise

At the Athletes in Action event, Hunt was asked about the financial impact of Swift’s high-profile presence at the games. After going public with her romance with Kelce, the 14-time Grammy winner attended her first Chiefs game at Arrowhead on September 23.

“I happened to be at NFL headquarters the week after she showed up to our first game,” Clark said. “I’ve never seen the marketing people at the league office so enthusiastic. They were dizzy, they were jumping everywhere. So I think that tells you.

Swift, who flew halfway around the world to support Kelce at the Super Bowl, attended 13 games last season. Clark admitted that “it’s a little hard to quantify” Swift’s impact.
