During the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New Orleans Saints on Monday, Taylor Swift had connections on the field through defensive tackle Khalen Saunders, who is the brother of Swift’s backup dancer Kameron Saunders. Kameron had previously danced with Swift during her Eras Tour. Khalen intercepted Patrick Mahomes in the third quarter, just after delivering a big hit on Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The ESPN broadcast showed a photo of Kameron, Swift, and Kelce together in London where they had danced onstage during one of Swift’s performances. Khalen’s interception led to a significant play for the Saints. He mentioned that Swift is his brother’s boss, but he was a fan of her music before Kameron began working with her. Khalen, who is 28 years old, has been with the Saints since 2022 after spending four seasons with the Chiefs, winning two Super Bowls with Kelce. This game highlighted the connections between the music industry and football, as well as the personal relationships that can influence player performance on the field.
