Harrison Butker, the Kansas City Chiefs kicker, may have a secret crush on pop star Taylor Swift. Recent statements suggest a change of heart after meeting the singer, and it appears his fan base is growing with Swift’s burgeoning romance with teammate Travis Kelce.
Harrison Butker reveals his inner Swiftie
A few months ago, Butker had the opportunity to meet Taylor Swift at a New Year’s party. The setting was festive, and Swift was with her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Butker recalled the encounter, emphasizing Swift’s humility and graciousness. The pop sensation made an impression on him as a global superstar and a down-to-earth individual.
When asked whether he considers himself a fan of Taylor Swift, Butker hesitated. “I wouldn’t say I’m a Swiftie,” he responded.
However, as he reflected on their initial meeting, he seemed to reconsider. “She was just so humble and so gracious,” he added. Perhaps meeting Swift left a lasting impact on Butker, prompting him to question his Swiftie status.
Swift, known for her keen observations, was reportedly impressed by Butker’s skills on the football field. She marvelled at his ability to kick the ball through the uprights, recognizing the athleticism required for his position. Butker’s nerves hinted at a newfound admiration before meeting Swift, leading him to admit, “Maybe I am a Swiftie.” [H/T Parade.com]
As Swift and Kelce’s relationship continues to blossom, Butker shares his hopes for their future. “I hope they get married and start a family,” he said. The father of two expressed genuine warmth toward the couple, envisioning a life together beyond the spotlight.
Taylor Swift’s presence at Chiefs games last fall marked the beginning of her public relationship with Kelce. In turn, Kelce has supported Swift during her international Eras Tour. Their shared experiences—both on and off the field—have forged a unique connection between the NFL player and the pop superstar.
