Khalen Saunders may have had his star moment in the NFL on Monday night, when he intercepted Patrick Mahomes in the end zone and returned the ball nearly 40 yards to give the Saints good field position.
Saunders was uniquely identified in a video package just before the piece as the brother of one of Taylor Swift’s backup dancers, Kameron Saunders, who features prominently in her “Eras Tour.”
Khalen Saunders is a former Kansas City Chief who signed with New Orleans last year.
During the play before the video package aired, Saunders tackled Swift’s friend and his former teammate, Travis Kelce, to the grass.
Swift and Kameron Saunders are both at the game at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kameron Saunders is one of Swift’s backup dancers on her global stadium ‘Eras Tour’
Kelce joined Kameron Saunders and Swift on stage at one of the ‘Eras Tour’ shows at Wembley Stadium on June 23 as a fellow backup dancer.
Kameron has gone viral on social media several times during the ‘Eras Tour’ for his dance improvisations and his unique phrases delivered during ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.’
One of his improv lines from “Up yours, w****r!” in London ensured Swift’s breakthrough on stage.
There’s more to come.
