In a delightful crossover between the worlds of sports and pop culture, former NFL linebacker and co-host of the popular podcast Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton, has officially declared himself a Swiftie after a recent meetup with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce — who also happens to be Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.
During a recent podcast episode and in a series of social media posts, Compton revealed that he and Kelce had a private conversation at an event where the topic quickly turned to music — specifically, Taylor Swift. According to Compton, Kelce’s passion and behind-the-scenes stories about Swift’s artistry and career left a strong impression.
“Before, I just knew the big hits,” Compton said. “But after talking to Travis, I realized Taylor Swift is on another level — as a songwriter, a performer, and just an absolute force. I had no choice but to dive in.”
Shortly after their conversation, Compton tweeted:
“Ten minutes with Kelce and I added 30 Taylor Swift songs to my playlist. Not ashamed. I’m a real fan now.”
The internet reacted swiftly (no pun intended), with fans flooding the replies with support, memes, and recommendations for which Swift album he should listen to next. Some even urged Compton and Kelce to attend The Eras Tour together as honorary Swiftie ambassadors from the NFL world.
This lighthearted moment only further cements Swift’s status as a cultural powerhouse — one who continues to bridge gaps across industries and bring people together in unexpected ways. With Will Compton now proudly joining the ranks of celebrity Swifties, it’s safe to say Taylor just scored another major touchdown — off the field.
