Taylor Swift’s budding new romance with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has received the ultimate seal of approval from none other than the daughter of the team’s chairman and CEO — who has labeled the pair as the ultimate “power couple we all can cheer for’.
Superstar singer Swift, 33, almost broke the internet when she showed up to watch the NFL team’s defeat the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.
After weeks of speculation that the musician and the Super Bowl winner started dating, the pair delighted fans when they were finally spotted together for the first time as they left the stadium at the end of the game.
Gracie Hunt, the daughter of team CEO Clark Hunt, spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com about the budding romance, saying: ‘Travis and Taylor are definitely a power couple that we can all cheer for! Taylor Swift’s music has touched the hearts of millions (including mine) and Travis is a great guy.”

The entrepreneur was one of many who loved seeing the hitmaker cheer her new love on so passionately as she continued: “Her enthusiasm as she cheered on Travis yesterday was infectious and made everyone smile.”
The former Miss Kansas USA did not reveal whether she got the chance to face Taylor on that day, but she may get a second chance when the Chiefs head to New York City – where Taylor lives – for their competition against the New York Jets next week.
As the Chiefs’ “cheerleader since birth,” Gracie added that she was also excited to see how the romance could help the team win over new fans around the world.
“Taylor’s massive following spans continents, and her fans are known for their unwavering support,” says the iinfluencer and philanthropist gushed.
‘“With Travis’ undeniable talent and Taylor’s massive global fan base, I hope the Swifties will join Chiefs Kingdom in cheering on the red and gold.”
Gracie had seen Taylor’s tour performance at the stadium several months earlier and admitted it was a pleasure to see that star return to the venue to support the team.
“I heard she would be there the morning of the game and was absolutely thrilled to have her back at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium after seeing her rock the Eras Tour stage there last July,” she concluded.
With the exception of walking out of the stadium together and then riding off into the night in a convertible, neither Taylor nor Travis have commented on how their romance is developing.

However, the stars appear to have aligned for the duo as the pop star’s next concert coincides with the NFL star’s week off in November.
Taylor is currently enjoying a break from her Eras Tour after a whirlwind few months touring America and Britain, with a South American leg in November.
Interestingly enough, the first date – November 9 in Buenos Aires, Argentina – is the exact week Kelce will be away from the NFL during the Chiefs’ bye week.
That has raised the possibility that, should their relationship still continue in a month’s time, he would be available to travel to South America with his new lover.
Conversation about their romance first began when Travis revealed on New Heights, the podcast he hosts with his brother and fellow NFL star Jason, 35, that he had hoped to catch the Cruel Summer singer’s attention during her KC concert via a friendship bracelet with his phone. number on it.
Unfortunately, Taylor had left the stadium before he could get it to her, but she found out after the conversation went public.
As speculation began to grow, his brother Jason Kelce – who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles – further stoked the flames during an interview on Audacy’s 94WIP Midday Show.

In addition to being a popular Instagram sensation and football enthusiast, Gracie has also launched a major career as a pageant queen and was crowned Miss Kansas USA in 2021.
The Eagles center explained to the hosts, “I don’t really know much about Travis’ love life. I try to keep his business kind of his business, stay out of that world.”
Jason then added, “That said, man, I think they’re doing a great job and I think it’s all 100 percent true, and I hope this thing goes a mile – no, I’m kidding, I don’t know what’s happening.’
Shortly after, Travis addressed romance rumors that began circulating between him and Swift during an interview on The Pat McAfee Show.
The host brought up the speculation that is “being talked about around the world right now.”
The professional NFL star admitted to McAfee, “It’s life, baby. I threw it there, I threw the ball in her court.”
Clearly his invite worked as the Bad Blood hitmaker took part in Sunday’s game as the Kansas City Chiefs battled the Chicago Bears.
She happily cheered on her boyfriend as she joined his mother, Donna, in the stands in a special VIP section.
Gracie admitted she was excited to see how the romance could help the team win new fans around the world as Swifties come out in droves to support the Chiefs.
With the exception of walking out of the stadium together and then riding off into the night in a convertible, neither Taylor nor Travis have commented on the relationship.
The Grammy winner wore a red and white colored ensemble to show her support for the recent Super Bowl champions and appeared to be having a blast with Kelce’s mother as they shouted and cheered for the team and the tight end.
The pair then left the stadium together in his vintage convertible and hung out at a private afterparty as Prime Social Rooftop in Kansas City.
Any relationship between the two busy professionals should be a long-distance relationship.
The Grammy winner will continue more shows on the North American and South American legs of her Eras tour through November 26.
She will depart for Asia, Australia and Europe from February 2024, with scheduled dates through August.
Travis and the Chiefs will play games weekly through at least January 7, and if the season goes well, they could be competing for another Super Bowl victory in February.
