ESPN’s Pat McAfee has revealed details from inside Taylor Swift’s private Arrowhead Stadium suite, including how enthusiastic she is while watching her Chiefs tight end husband, Travis Kelce.
“She is all in. She is, every snap, [it] was the most into-it suite we’ve ever been in,” McAfee, 39, said during the Tuesday, September 15, episode of The Pat McAfee Show. “Everybody in there was all in, I mean … then he had that 59-yard catch, oh my God, that is what being a football fan is like. Watching them experience the game was fantastic.”
The former NFL player shared further memories from inside the Kansas City venue when he and Swift, 36, watched the Chiefs win their Monday, September 14, NFL opener against the Denver Broncos, 31-10. He noted that while he did attend the Madison Square Garden wedding of Travis, also 36, and Swift in New York CIty on July 3, Monday offered McAfee his first chance to properly engage with the pop star.
“I got a chance to chit chat with Ms. Taylor Swift last night. Huge day,” he said before sharing a selfie he snapped with her with his show’s viewers. “[I said] ‘Ms. Taylor, is there any way I can get a selfie with you?’ and she said ‘Absolutely.’ She was so kind, so hospitable. Her mom [Andrea Swift] brought sugar-coated bacon strips, candied bacon.”
McAfee also recalled how Swift ushered him in for a warm hug when he entered the exclusive suite. “It was a thousand degrees so we walk all the way up there, shout to Jason Kelce, I’m dripping in sweat, my shirt is just drenched [and] we open the [door, and the] first person I see: Ms Donna Kelce and Taylor Swift,” he shared. “I look at Ms. Donna, I go ‘Legend, how are you?’ I go to Taylor, ‘Ms. Taylor,’ [and] she goes, ‘Pat, how are you,’ big hug she wants and I’m drenched. This is how I’m meeting Taylor Swift for the first time really … just sweat all over her.”
A production member of The Pat McAfee Show also added that the vibe inside the room was “absolutely rocking … so loud, hitting the roof every time.”
Swift was joined by Tom Cruise on Monday night, whom McAfee also recalled interacting with. “I potentially talked to Tom Cruise last night. I’ll tell you, I was dripping in sweat and he had a leather jacket on and didn’t have a single drop or bead of sweat anywhere. He doesn’t sweat. I had a big hearty laugh at that,” he said.
ESPN cameras had captured Swift chatting with Cruise, 64, another guest at Swift and Travis’ wedding, within the suite late in the first quarter.
