Eagan, Minnesota – International superstar Taylor Swift attended the event The Kansas City Chiefs’ last two games. Are you going to make it a third?
That question came up Monday in the locker room for the Minnesota Vikings, who will host the Chiefs — and Swift’s friend, Travis Kelce — on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. That would be “awesome,” Vikings linebacker Byron Murphy Jr. said, but maybe not for Kelce.
“Man, social media is going crazy,” Murphy said when asked about the league’s embrace of the Swift-Kelce story. “And I don’t hate it. This is the world we live in. Are you going to come to this game? We’re locked down, but that’s going to be something. I’ve been watching it since I was a kid. Oh kid, that would sure be cool.”
“Not for him, because we’ll try to get our hands on him in front of her.”
“I’ll say something to him to encourage him to move forward,” added Murphy, who said he has never attended one of Swift’s concerts.
Swift attended Chiefs games and sat with Kelce’s mother during the Week 3 win over the Chicago Bears and Sunday night’s win at the New York Jets.
The NFL has fully supported the connection, and as of Monday afternoon, its primary account on X, formerly Twitter, is Three photos emerged of her cheering For presidents in New York. The association also used the phrase “We had the best day with you today,” in reference to a lyric in Swift’s song “Best Day.”
The Vikings went 1-3 after recording their first win of the season on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Chiefs 3-1.
