Kelce and Swift shared a moment on the field after Kansas City won the AFC title on Sunday
McAfee admitted that, like many, he questioned how genuine the relationship is in the beginning. However, he argued that Sunday’s interaction should put an end to any and all doubts about the romance.
‘At the beginning I could see [why],’ McAfee admitted. ‘She’s releasing a movie, he’s on 14 commercials, are we getting worked right now? The NFL shoving it down our throats? I’m sick of seeing it. Every commercial, him. Every game, her.
‘But did you see them after the game yesterday? They’re in actual love. I’m so happy that the world got to see that.’
Swift first attended Chiefs games in September and quickly became a staple in broadcasts as her colossal fanbase caused both the NFL and Kansas City’s viewership and social media presence to spike.

Kelce and the Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas
With the Chiefs having punched their ticket to the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers in two weeks, the 12-time Grammy winner reportedly plans to be in Las Vegas for the game despite having a concert in Tokyo the evening before.
McAfee ended his statement by telling fans how they should embrace Swift’s presence in the football world. And though fans may still question why the NFL grants Swift so much screen time during games, McAfee insists that the league has great reason to do so.
‘From the beginning I thought to myself, these two might be perfect for each other,’ McAfee said. ‘Taylor’s a part of the football world now, this is good news not bad news.’
‘But a lot of people gonna say ‘well how many times is CBS gonna show Taylor Swift at that Super Bowl?’ Well, she’s a global phenomenon, she’s selling out stadiums in all of these countries, in which this is their first game, I assume they’re gonna show Taylor a lot.’
