During a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New Orleans Saints, Taylor Swift had multiple connections to the field. Khalen Saunders, a defensive tackle for the Saints, is the brother of Kameron Saunders, a backup dancer for Swift. Khalen intercepted Patrick Mahomes in the third quarter, immediately after delivering a hard hit to Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The ESPN broadcast featured a photo of Kameron, Swift, and Kelce together in London, where Kelce had danced with Swift during one of her performances. Khalen’s interception led to a significant play for the Saints. In an interview, Khalen mentioned that Swift was his brother’s boss but that he was there first. Khalen is in his second year with the Saints after playing four seasons with the Chiefs, where he won two Super Bowls alongside Kelce. The game showcased the unique connections between the players on the field and the music industry, demonstrating the diverse interests and relationships that can cross over into the world of professional football.
