Chiefs Owner Clark Hunt Dispels Notions of Publicity Stunt, Celebrates Genuine Happiness for Swift and Kelce

Kansas City Chiefs owner, Clark Hunt, recently shared his admiration for Taylor Swift, emphasizing her captivating personality and charisma.

In an interview with CNBC before the team’s second-round playoff game, Hunt expressed his joy for Swift’s relationship with star tight end Travis Kelce.

Having had the opportunity to meet Swift at one of the games she attended this year, Hunt couldn’t help but praise her, stating, “She’s just as sweet as she can be.”

He also highlighted the privilege of witnessing Swift’s performances at Arrowhead Stadium twice during her ongoing Eras Tours, labeling her as “one of the most amazing artists of our time.”

Hunt acknowledged the attention drawn to the Chiefs since Swift and Kelce started dating in September, noting the significant growth in the franchise’s female audience.

Contrary to speculations of a publicity stunt, Hunt asserted, “It’s very real. And as I said, the most important thing is we’re happy for the two of them.”

The Chiefs owner dismissed claims that the couple’s public appearances were mere marketing strategies, emphasizing the genuine and organic nature of their relationship.

He reflected on the initial skepticism from NFL fans, recalling remarks like, “Oh, it’s a marketing stunt.” However, Hunt emphasized the authenticity of Swift and Kelce’s connection.

As the Chiefs gear up for the AFC Divisional round matchup against the Bills, it remains uncertain whether Swift will travel from her $18 million New York townhouse to support Kelce and his teammates.

If she does attend, there’s a possibility of a frosty reunion with potential brother-in-law Jason, who expressed intentions to visit upstate New York after his team, the Philadelphia Eagles, bowed out in the wild-card round.

Recent reports suggest that Swift may not share the warmest relationship with Jason and his wife, Kylie. However, despite potential family dynamics, Swift and Kelce are reportedly happy and enjoying their time together.

The popstar is gearing up for the resumption of her Eras Tour in Japan next month, and the couple is still exploring the path of their romance, having navigated the last four months without major hiccups, aside from a minor first fight.
