Taylor Swift’s budding new romance with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has been given the ultimate seal of approval by none other than the daughter of the team’s Chairman and CEO – who has labeled the pair the ultimate ‘power couple we can all cheer for’.
Superstar singer Swift, 33, all but broke the internet when she turned up to watch the NFL tight end’s team defeat the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead stadium on Sunday.
Following weeks of speculation that the musician and the Super Bowl winner have begun dating, the pair delighted fans as they were finally spotted together for the first time while leaving the stadium at the end of the match.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com about the budding romance, team CEO Clark Hunt’s daughter Gracie Hunt gushed over the pair, saying: ‘Travis and Taylor are definitely a power couple we can all cheer for! Taylor Swift’s music has touched the hearts of millions (mine included) and Travis is a great guy.’

The entrepreneur was one of many who loved seeing the hitmaker cheer on her new love interest so passionately as she continued: ‘Her enthusiasm cheering on Travis yesterday was contagious and made everyone smile.’
The former Miss Kansas USA did not reveal whether she got the chance to meet Taylor on the day, however, she may well get a second chance to do so when the Chiefs head to New York City – where Taylor resides – for their game against the New York Jets this coming weeked.
As ‘a Chiefs cheerleader from birth’, Gracie added that she was also excited to see how the romance might help the team win over new fans across the globe.
‘Taylor’s massive following spans across continents, and her fans are known for their unwavering support,’ the influencer and philanthropist gushed.
‘With Travis’ undeniable talent, and Taylor’s massive global fanbase, I hope that the Swifties will join Chiefs Kingdom in cheering for the red and gold.’
Having watched Taylor’s tour performance at the stadium just months before, Gracie admitted it was a joy to see that star return to the venue to support the team.
‘I learned that she would be attending the morning of the game and was absolutely thrilled to have her back to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium after watching her rock the Eras Tour stage there this July’, she concluded.
With the exception of walking out of the stadium together and then driving away into the night in a convertible, neither Taylor nor Travis has commented about the way their romance is developing.

However, the stars appear to be aligning for the duo since the pop star’s next concert coincides with the NFL star’s week off in November.
Taylor is currently enjoying a break from her Eras Tour following a whirlwind few months travelling across America and the UK, with a South American leg coming up in November.
Interestingly, the first date back – November 9 in Buenos Aires, Argentina – is the exact week Kelce will be away from the NFL during the Chiefs’ bye week.
That has raised the possibility that, should their relationship still be ongoing in a month’s time, he would be available to travel to South America with his new lover.
Talk of their romance first started when Travis revealed on New Heights, the podcast he hosts with his brother and fellow NFL star Jason, 35, that he had hoped to get the Cruel Summer singer’s attention at her KC concert via a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it.
Unfortunately Taylor had left the stadium before he could get it to her, but she found out about it after the conversation went public.
As speculation began to grow, his brother Jason Kelce — who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles — stoked the flames further during an interview on Audacy’s 94WIP Midday Show.

Aside from being a popular Instagram sensation and football enthusiast, Gracie has also launched a major career as a pageant queen, and was crowned as Miss Kansas USA in 2021
The Eagles center explained to the hosts that, ‘I don’t really know a lot about Travis’ love life. I try to keep his business kind of his business, stay out of that world.’
Jason then added: ‘Having said that, man, I think they’re doing great and I think it’s all 100 percent true, and I hope this thing goes a mile — no, I’m joking, I don’t know what’s happening.’
Shortly after, Travis addressed romance rumors that had begun circulating between him and Swift during an interview on The Pat McAfee Show.
The host brought up the speculation that was ‘being talked about by the whole entire world right now.’
The professional NFL star admitted to McAfee, ‘It’s life, baby. I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court.’
Clearly his invitation did the job as the Bad Blood hitmaker was seen getting into the game as the Kansas City Chiefs battled the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
She gleefully cheered on her rumored boyfriend as she joined his mother, Donna, in the stands in a special VIP section.

With the exception of walking out of the stadium together and then driving away into the night in a convertible, neither Taylor nor Travis has commented about the relationship
The Grammy winner sported a red and white-colored ensemble to show her support for the recent Super Bowl champions and appeared to be having a blast with Kelce’s mom as they shouted and cheered on the team and tight end.
The pair then left the stadium together in his vintage convertible and proceeded to hang out at a private afterparty as Prime Social Rooftop in Kansas City.
Any relationship between the two busy professionals would have to be long distance.
The Grammy winner is scheduled to continue more shows on the North American and South American legs of her Eras tour through November 26.
She is set to head to Asia, Australia and Europe beginning in February 2024 with scheduled dates through August.
Travis and the Chiefs are set to tackle weekly games through at least January 7, and if the season goes well, could vie for another Super Bowl victory in February.
