“Good answer,” replied Swift. “You do this.”

At every Chiefs game Swift attended, fan photos captured her cheering on Kelce and his teammates. At the Super Bowl in February, he brought a roster that included A’s Blake Lively, Lana Del Rey, Ice Spice and many more to complete the Missouri team.
Purdy, however, had no qualms about Swift’s focus on the opposition.
“When it comes down to it, Brock, and it’s almost the end of the fourth quarter, are you willing to disappoint Taylor Swift?” the sportscaster asked Purdy before the big game.
Smiling, Purdy replied, “Yeah, I’ll leave it at that.”
Purdy almost got his wish as Super Bowl LVIII came down to the wire — and overtime. In the end, the Chiefs won 25-22. Swift celebrated with Kelce on the court, marking the moment with a sweet kiss on the sideline.
