Over the past several months, pop sensation Taylor Swift has become a part of the Kansas City Chiefs community after she began dating star tight end Travis Kelce. And it sounds like she’s been embraced by the team.
During a recent appearance on EWTN’s “In Depth,” Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker was asked about meeting Taylor Swift for the first time. And while he made it clear that he wouldn’t necessarily call himself a Swiftie, he did fondly remember meeting the pop star at a New Year’s Eve party.
Butker described the party as “very tame” but said he got the chance to spend some time with Kelce and Swift, and he had some high praise for the pop sensation.
“Travis showed up and Taylor was there. I got to meet her and she was just so humble and so gracious,” Butker said. “I don’t think she grew up a football fan, so everything for her is so cool. And especially as a kicker, she thinks that it’s amazing that I can kick the ball so far through the uprights.”
Butker is obviously quite famous himself, but meeting someone like Swift still had him a bit starstruck.
“I was a little nervous to meet Taylor Swift,” Butker said. “I mean, it’s Taylor Swift. Maybe I am a Swiftie if I was nervous to meet her. But it was a great experience and I can’t say enough great things about her.”
As for their relationship, Butker hopes everything works out for them.
“I hope they get married and start a family,” Butker said.
We’ll have to see if that’s what happens.
