Taylor Swift Going Viral For Reaction to a Big Play Not Made by Travis Kelce

One of the main plots throughout Monday’s show featured 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift, as she usually does whenever the Kansas City Chiefs play.

Swift was watching her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his Chiefs colleagues go to 5-0 on the season after defeating the New Orleans Saints 26-13. This was Swift’s third game of the 2024–25 NFL season. While Kelce recorded a season-high nine catches, there has been a clip of Swift seeming impressed circulating social media, and it’s actually not due to anything Kelce accomplished.

Rather, it was Saints defensive tackle Khalen Saunders who initiated the play that resulted in the now-viral video that has received over a million views. Due to JuJu Smith-Schuster’s inability to catch a deep throw late in the third quarter, the Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was intercepted by the seventh-year tackle, who began his career in Kansas City.

Saunders recovered the tipped ball and ran it out of the end zone, gaining 37 yards in the process. Swift, who was seen gleefully telling someone else in the room that Saunders is the brother of her backup dancer from the “Eras Tour,” also gave him props.

The NFL community went crazy over this interesting fact, and Swift’s tourmate Kameron Saunders was none too pleased with it either.

Giving his younger brother some credit for the interception, he said on Instagram, “PERIOD!!!!!,” expressing his belief that it was a brilliant play. The game’s play! “Who’s running the ball, that big boy/d-lineman?!”

In actuality, it was a momentous occasion for all those concerned, since Saunders’ first-ever interception in his career allowed his brother and Swift to congratulate him.

In addition to helping the Saints win the game, the interception turned out to be one of their few bright spots as quarterback Derek Carr had an unrelated injury. Regarding Kelce, who turned 35 on Saturday, he and the Chiefs intend to capitalize on their growing momentum in an attempt to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls.
