Taylor Swift hilariously reveals how she really feels about Travis Kelce’s rival after Super Bowl
Nearly a year after the Kansas City Chiefs won their second straight Super Bowl, Taylor Swift has spoken out about Travis Kelce’s on-field championship rival, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy.
Purdy came incredibly close to leading San Francisco to victory over Kansas City in February.
However, it was the Chiefs who defeated the 49ers in overtime, as Swift watched from a luxury suite at Allegiant Stadium, flying to Las Vegas just in time for the game after completing the Japanese leg of her ‘Eras Tour’ completed.
Kelce played for the Chiefs in the championship game, with Swift taking the field and kissing her boyfriend five months after their public romance began. The 14-time Grammy winner and host of ‘Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?’ are still going strong 15 months after they first appeared in public together.
While greeting patients at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City last week, Swift was asked if her song “Paper Rings” was about Purdy.
“I don’t mind Brock Purdy. He experienced a lot with me last February. I was really stressed for a second,” Swift said.

Purdy nearly stopped Kelce and the Chiefs from winning this year’s Super Bowl in Las Vegas
“Paper Rings” was released in 2019 while Purdy was still playing for Iowa State and four years before Swift started dating Kelce.
It’s written as a love song, with the paper ring in question being a wedding ring, not one that Kelce owns from winning a football championship.
The Monday before the 49ers’ loss to Kansas City, Purdy was asked by NFL RedZone host Scott Hanson on opening night of the Super Bowl, “It’s late in the fourth quarter, are you willing to disappoint Taylor Swift?”
Purdy quickly grinned and replied, “Yes. I’ll leave it at that.’
Swift’s romance with Kelce was one of the major storylines heading into last year’s Super Bowl and has been in gridiron circles ever since.
The Chiefs appear poised to make another deep playoff run this season at 13-1. The ‘Eras Tour’ ended earlier this month, meaning Swift has no major concerts planned before next year’s Super Bowl.
It’s also nice to hear that she doesn’t hold any grudges towards Purdy for almost taking away her moment in the Vegas spotlight with Kelce.
