- NFL. Taylor Swift's glamorous new album cover divides reaction
- NFL. Bonnie Blue "in love" with Travis Kelce and claims she could easily steal him away from Taylor Swift
When Travis Kelce began dating global superstar Taylor Swift, many football fans joked that she probably didn't understand much about the sport. But recent events show Swift has not only caught on but developed genuine football knowledge.
On the New Heights podcast, Swift revealed just how deeply invested she is in the NFL Draft, especially when the Kansas City Chiefs selected Xavier Worthy in 2024.
Swift admitted that she sprinted around her house, shouting with excitement the moment the Chiefs picked Worthy. For a pop icon to express that kind of enthusiasm about a draft choice shows her growing passion for football.
What's even more surprising is that Worthy himself found it incredible. The fast-rising wide receiver laughed it off, calling it "tight" to have one of the biggest stars in the world cheering for him in her home.
Xavier Worthy's hype is absolutely deserved. The former college standout ran an eye-popping 4.21-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, the fastest ever recorded without any conditions or asterisks. That kind of speed forced the Chiefs to trade up and snag him late in the first round, a move that has already proven valuable.
Travis Kelce's reaction to Swift's football obsession
Travis Kelce was taken aback when Swift told him about her draft-day excitement. She'd gotten "obsessed" with football and had literally run through the halls shouting, "We drafted Xavier Worthy!" Kelce said he had to verify her information because he couldn't believe she was right about drafting "the fastest man in the draft."
"I had to look this up and make sure she wasn't messing with me," Kelce admitted, showing just how seriously he took her newfound football knowledge.
Worthy didn't waste any time proving his value as a rookie. He caught 59 passes for 638 yards, scored six receiving touchdowns, and added three rushing TDs, demonstrating his versatility within Andy Reid's offense. His very first NFL touch was a 21-yard rushing touchdown, a glimpse of the explosive playmaker Kansas City hopes he will become.
Now, talk is growing that Worthy could soon be a key part of Patrick Mahomes' trusted circle, potentially sharing the spotlight with Kelce. Observers suggest that Worthy's blazing speed and skill might shift some of the offensive focus, making him a vital weapon in the Chiefs' quest for another championship.
Swift's evolution from football outsider to passionate superfan has been one of the more unexpected stories of the NFL offseason. Her excitement over Worthy's selection isn't just entertaining, it reflects a genuine understanding and love for the game, signaling thrilling times ahead for both the Chiefs and their newest star wide receiver.
