Taylor Swift 'has been nothing but good' for the Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs president Mark Donovan has heaped praise on Taylor Swift, who is dating Travis Kelce.
Taylor Swift is an "authentic fan" of the Kansas City Chiefs.
The 34-year-old pop star has attended lots of NFL games since she began dating Travis Kelce in 2023, and Chiefs president Mark Donovan admits that their high-profile relationship has been "nothing but good" for the franchise.
Mark said on 'Squawk Box': "It is an authentic relationship and we’re happy to have it. It’s been nothing but good for us.”
Taylor has a huge fan following, and Mark admitted that her fanbase has helped to increase the profile of the current Super Bowl champions.
He shared: "I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is: Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs Kingdom. She’s an authentic fan."
Mark observed that Chiefs fans have also embraced Taylor.
He said: "That matters to our fans and our fanbase. And it matters to us. We try and respect that."
Patrick Mahomes - Travis' teammate - previously claimed that Taylor has helped to make the Chiefs a "worldwide team".
The sports star told Time magazine: "[The Chiefs] went from a nationwide team that was kind of global to a full global worldwide team. That came from Taylor’s fanbase."
Patrick also admitted to being wowed by Taylor's work ethic.
The 29-year-old star - who is one of the best players in the NFL - said: "I’ve met a lot of famous people now in my life. Taylor’s probably the most down-to-earth person that’s been on that stage for that long.
"She’s never not working. Even when she’s taking her downtime, she’s working on something. Shooting a music video or singing a song or writing a song. You can see it by how she talks."
