Taylor Swift may have revealed her second favorite Kansas City Chiefs player, and it may not be the husband of her new good friend Brittany Mahomes and team quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Kansas City’s starting running back Isiah Pacheco drew a lot of admiration from Swift as she stood in a luxury box well above the field at Highmark Stadium and he scored the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter.
After Pacheco found a hole in the offensive line and Bills defensive back Micah Hyde stood up to get into the end zone, he got a celebratory push from Swift’s friend and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The cameras then panned to Swift, visibly excited and cheering, as he chanted his name. The 12-time Grammy winner then flexed her fingers and extended all ten digits, in honor of Pacheco, who wears No. 10 for Kansas City.
Pacheco’s touchdown proved to be the final score of the game in the Chiefs’ 27-24 Divisional Round victory over the Bills.

Pacheco scored the game-winning touchdown early in the fourth quarter of the playoff game
Swift sat in a luxury box with Jason, Kylie, Donna and Ed Kelce while Travis was on the field. Also in the exclusive suite were Brittany Mahomes, as well as Swift’s close friend, model and actress Cara Delevingne.
The game in Buffalo was the first time Swift met Jason and Kylie, who were at the game because Jason’s team, the Philadelphia Eagles, were eliminated from the postseason during the Wild Card round.
Apparently Swift felt comfortable in the luxury box cheering the entire game.
However, there’s no doubt that Swift was excited about Pacheco’s touchdown.

Pacheco’s score, combined with Travis Kelce’s pair of receiving touchdowns, accounted for all three end zone trips for the Chiefs in the game.
The Chiefs play the Ravens in the AFC Championship on Sunday in Baltimore.
Swift has never played a show in the city of Baltimore on any of her six tours, sometimes opting to play a show in nearby Washington DC.
