Kansas City Chiefs owner and CEO, Clark Hunt, is bonafide Swiftie.
This week, Hunt opened up about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship while making an appearance on a special NFL Playoff edition of Mad Money, telling the show’s host Jim Cramer that their romance isn’t just for cameras. “It was purely organic,” Hunt explained. “When they were just starting off dating, there were a lot of people saying, ‘Oh, it’s a marketing stunt.’ But no, it’s very real. And as I said, the most important thing is we’re happy for the two of them.”
When asked specifically about the “Taylor Swift phenomenon” that has infiltrated the NFL, Hunt said it has made for a “very fun year,” adding that the Chiefs fanbase has definitely grown.
“I’ve had a chance to meet her at one of the many games that she’s attended this year, and she’s just as sweet as she can be,” he continued. “I also got to see her play here twice this past summer, and what an incredible performer. Just one of the most amazing artists of our time.”
Back in December, Hunt’s eldest daughter, Gracie, also commented on Swift and Kelce’s romance, sharing a similar sentiment as her father during an interview on the Outkick the Morning podcast. “First of all, I think we’re all so excited to see two such phenomenal people happy,” she said. “I mean, it’s so easy for us to cheer for and for the entire world to cheer for because they’re wonderful for each other, and it’s just been so fun to watch this love story unfold.”
