Taylor Swift Makes Everyone Feel Included at Chiefs Games, Baron Corbin Says

Taylor Swift knows how to make everyone feel included during a Kansas City Chiefs game, according to WWE star Baron Corbin. Speaking on Chris Van Vliet's podcast, Corbin remembered the time he watched his friend Travis Kelce take on the Buffalo Bills back in 2023. Upon Kelce's invitation, Corbin and his family popped into the tight end's private suite at Arrowhead Stadium, a spot often occupied by Swift to cheer for her boyfriend.



"She walks right up to everybody, gives them a hug, gave us a hug," he recalled. "It was like you were instantly family in that box." He said Swift did not have any entourage other than perhaps one security guard, and instead just mingled with Kelce's longtime friends of whom were friendly and normal, he insisted.

An All-Night Celebration with Swift and Kelce

Corbin was eventually allowed to attend Kelce's Christmas party later that night, joining Taylor Swift. "We hung out, and went to the bar," he said. "She's just a human being who is also one of the most powerful people in the world right now. Incredibly talented. It's such a breath of fresh air for someone like her to be the way she is."

Calling the 14-time Grammy winner "dope" and "super humble," Corbin gushed about how down-to-earth she was. The challenges of sharing a suite with her? "I wanted out of the suite for a little while," he admitted, saying it felt like being in a "fishbowl." Why? There were legions of fans outside the suite, snapping shots of Swift inside, which speaks to the overwhelming power of Swift's celebrity.

Chiefs Ready for Round Two against the Bills

Over a year later, the Kansas City Chiefs face off in the AFC Championship game on Sunday, January 26, ready to do it again with the Buffalo Bills. The winner advances to the 2025 Super Bowl featuring Kendrick Lamar and newly added guest SZA for the Halftime Show. With the Chiefs competing for another chance at glory, one can gamble that the fans will be sure to watch the stands for any signs of a returning Swift to bring some trademark warmth and energy back to game time.
