Taylor Swift, NFL draft scout?
While most of the attention surrounding Swift’s appearance on the ‘New Heights’ podcast was focused on her relationship with Travis Kelce, the pop star also pointed out her excitement during the 2024 NFL Draft. Specifically, Swift detailed her elation about the Kansas City Chiefs’ selection of Xavier Worthy with the 28th overall pick.
On Tuesday, Worthy responded to the viral clip.
‘That’s crazy,’ Worthy said. ‘I ain’t gonna lie, she’s the biggest pop star in this generation so it’s crazy to have somebody running around the house screaming, ‘We drafted you!”
The pick was only made possible after the Chiefs traded up with the Buffalo Bills, which became cause for celebration in the Swift residence.
‘I became like a person who was running through the halls of my house screaming, ‘We drafted Xavier Worthy,” Swift said.
Kelce was a non-believer at first, saying that he wasn’t sure if Swift had the right information.
‘I forget where I was, but you were the first person to tell me that we drafted the fastest man in the draft,’ Kelce said.
Chiefs fans were given many reasons to be happy about the selection and their newest superfan wasted no time joining the crowd.
‘I was freaking out,’ Swift added.
Worthy certainly proved to be a solid addition to the Kansas City offense in his rookie year, totaling 742 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns on 79 touches – also proving to be someone that rose to the occasion in the postseason.
Heading into his second season, the former Texas star will look to build off an impressive rookie year. Turns out, he’ll be doing it with one of the world’s biggest celebrities in his corner.
