The daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt described Travis Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift as a member of ‘Chiefs Kingdom’ during the NFL Honors.

The Hunt family – owner Clark, wife Tavia and eldest daughter Gracie – walked the red carpet at the NFL Honors in Las Vegas on Thursday ahead of their team’s Super Bowl appearance this weekend.

While discussing the Chiefs making back-to-back Super Bowls, the Hunt family was asked if they had met Swift, with Gracie responding, “She’s smart, beautiful and so talented.” And we got to attend her Eras Tour concert this summer and it was so special to have her as part of Chiefs Kingdom.”

The Hunts weren’t the only ones with Swift on their brains during the show, as NFL Honors host Keegan-Michael Key made a few jokes about the pop star during his opening monologue.

All three members of the family gave a nod to Chiefs Kingdom with their clothing on Thursday evening.

Meanwhile, Kansas City heiress Gracie dazzled in a figure-hugging, knee-length dress with silver sequins. She represented her team with a bold red lip that she described as “that classic red lip thing you like,” referencing a lyric from Swift’s hit “Style.”

The Hunts weren’t the only ones discussing the singer, as host Keegan-Michael Key referenced Swift in his opening monologue.

First, Key mocked the NFL’s worst team by referencing Swift’s Eras Tour before speaking out about former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick with a mention of the pop star.

“Taylor Swift is currently in Tokyo. The only thing further from the Super Bowl is the Carolina Panthers,” Key joked.

“Who would have thought we’d see a season where Taylor Swift would play more playoff games than Bill Belichick?” Key added, getting huge laughs from the audience.

The question now on all Swift fans’ minds is whether she can return after her concert in Japan to be in the stands for the Super Bowl.

A recent rumor from former NFL quarterback turned radio host Boomer Esiason said Swift’s management will ask the NFL to pay for the 14-time Grammy winner’s plane from Japan to Las Vegas and her private luxury box.

“You should know that her people are in contact with the NFL. And her people are probably saying, ‘If you want her at the game, you have to pay for the plane back from Tokyo. And she needs her own suite,” Esiason said on his radio show this week.

“I’m telling you, dude. This is business, dude. This is all about business. How often are we, CBS, going to show her? And are we going to show an arrival photo?’ Esiason asked.

“What’s interesting is if the NFL is paying for all this stuff, it could be like, ‘Okay, we’ll take care of all that, but we want to be able to shoot you when you get to the stadium, whatever. Esiason added.
