Taylor Swift has become a familiar face at Kansas City Chiefs games, often seen passionately supporting her partner, Travis Kelce.
While fans get glimpses of her cheering from the stands, a rare insight into what Taylor Swift is like during the game was recently shared by former WWE superstar Baron Corbin, known off-stage as Thomas Pestick.
Ex-WWE Star Shares Taylor Swift Interaction At Chiefs Playoff Game
Corbin, a longtime Chiefs fan and a friend of Kelce, was invited to watch a game from the tight end's private suite, where Swift also happened to be. Speaking on the "Insight With Chris Van Vliet" podcast, Corbin shared the memorable experience of sharing a suite with the pop icon.
"So, we went [and] they took us up to the suite, and then my uncle or my brother, one of the two, was like, ‘I wonder if Taylor’s going to be here,’” Corbin recalled. “And as they say it, she walks into the room. My brother’s freaking a little bit, and she walks right up to everybody, gives them a hug, gave us a hug—it was like you were instantly family.”
Swift’s down-to-earth demeanor clearly left a lasting impression, making everyone in the suite feel welcome and comfortable, Corbin noted.
How Taylor Swift Is Redefining the WAG Lifestyle
Taylor Swift’s relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce is making waves beyond the football field. According to Sharelle Rosado, star of the hit show “W.A.G.s to Riches" and the ex-fiancée of former NFL star Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, Swift is helping to redefine the perception of WAGs (wives and girlfriends of athletes), shining a spotlight on their strength, unity, and individuality.
“I love giving Taylor Swift as an example,” Rosado told Page Six. “Ever since her and Kelce started dating, it changed the outlook of what a WAG is, and it just has been becoming better and better.”
Swift, celebrated for her trailblazing career as a singer-songwriter, has brought attention to the vital role WAGs play in supporting their partners while building their own identities. Rosado highlighted how Swift’s influence has fostered camaraderie among WAGs, stating, “You’re now starting to see more of the wives and girlfriends doing things together more, being out there more, and showing that. It’s now showing the woman in the spotlight just as much as the husband.”
Taylor Swift Is A 'Fun Girl'
Describing Swift as a “fun girl,” Rosado expressed admiration for her energy and charisma. “I feel like she would shut sh-t down,” she said enthusiastically, even jokingly proposing, “We need to bring Kelce to the Dolphins then!”
Rosado’s comments reflect a broader cultural shift in how WAGs are perceived. Once seen as merely supporting figures to their superstar partners, they are now being recognized for their individuality, ambition, and influence. Swift’s entrance into the WAG world not only brings unmatched star power but also validates the importance of these women in their partners’ lives and careers.
Rosado’s appreciation for WAGs extends to her own career. Through her show "W.A.G.s to Riches," she offers an inside look at the complexities of their lives, from dealing with public scrutiny to balancing high-profile relationships. The show underscores the grit behind the glitz, showing that being a WAG is far more than a glamorous title—it’s a role that demands resilience, unity, and strength.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce continue to captivate fans with their undeniable chemistry, and their charming game day ritual is the latest proof that they’re the ultimate power couple. Former Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader Stefanie Hill recently shared some behind-the-scenes details about the duo’s sweet pre-game tradition, and fans are loving the insight.
Hill, who spent six seasons cheering for the Super Bowl-defending Kansas City Chiefs, has witnessed everything from championship wins to the blossoming romance between the pop superstar and the NFL tight end.

In a TikTok video, Hill reflected on the beginning of Swift and Kelce’s love story and revealed the special way Swift shows her support for Kelce on game days. “All those pictures of her game day outfits walking down red tunnels are right next to the players’ locker rooms, which is right next door to the Chiefs cheer locker room,” she explained. "There were so many close encounters."
She added, “At the end of the game, she would always meet Travis by the locker room.”
As the Chiefs head into the AFC Championship game, Swift is expected to be in attendance, cheering on Kelce as she has done throughout the season.
