Taylor Swift can’t help herself when it comes to a Kansas City Chiefs victory.
Swift, 34, was spotted jumping up and down after Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker nailed a game-winning field goal on Sunday, September 15, giving Kansas City a 26-25 victory over Joe Burrow the Cincinnati Bengals.
From high atop her suite at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium, Swift was shown on CBS hugging her fellow Chiefs fans as boyfriend Travis Kelce and his squad improved to 2-0.
Butker, of course, raised eyebrows this offseason with a controversial commencement address at Benedictine College in which he called on women to embrace the role of “homemaker” and equated Pride Month to “deadly sin.”
During his speech in May, Butker, 29 even made direct reference to Swift and her relationship with Kelce, also 34.
“As my teammate’s girlfriend says, ‘familiarity breeds contempt,’” Butker said, referencing a lyric from Swift’s song “Bejeweled” from her 2022 album Midnights.
“For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment,” Butker went on to say. “I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you.”
The Bosses kicker proceeded, “Some of you might proceed to lead effective professions on the planet, yet I would dare to figure that most of you are most amped up for your marriage and the kids you will bring into this world.”
Quick never straightforwardly answered the remarks made by Butker, who marked a four-year, $26.5 million agreement expansion with Kansas City in August, turning into the most generously compensated kicker in the Public Football Association.
Kelce tended to Butker’s comments during an episode of his webcast “New Levels” not long after his discourse caused disturbances, saying “I treasure him as a partner.”
“At the point when it descends to his perspectives and what he said at the initiation discourse, you know, those are his,” Kelce told sibling Jason Kelce. “I can’t say I concur with most of it — or pretty much any of it — beyond him cherishing his family or his children. I don’t figure I ought to pass judgment on him by his perspectives, particularly his strict perspectives on how he goes about existence.”
Earlier in Sunday’s game, Swift was shown on camera reacting to Kelce coming up a yard short of a touchdown in the third quarter.
“Oh my God, Travis!” Swift screamed. “Oh my God! Oh my God!”
CBS play-by-play analyst Jim Nantz had fun with the situation after Swift was spotted on the broadcast. “Someone wanted a touchdown! Someone wanted to see six after she got seven Wednesday night at the VMAs!,” Nantz said, referencing Swift’s haul of seven MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday, September 11.
The Kansas City Chiefs return to action Sunday, September 22 when they travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons.
