MGK opened up about a private conversation he had with Taylor Swift while the Kansas City Chiefs were losing the 2025 Super Bowl.
During an appearance on the Wednesday, Aug. 6, episode of ABC News Live, the pop-punk artist and rapper — whose real name is Colson Baker — recalled how he initially thought the Big Game was going to be a “legendary night” for the Chiefs. Instead, the Philadelphia Eagles won.
“I was in Travis [Kelce’s] suite, and at the beginning of it Taylor was like, ‘Hell yeah we’re gonna come watch you perform,’ like it’s gonna be crazy tonight,” MGK, 35, said during the interview. “By the third quarter, dude, I was looking at that score, I went up to Taylor I was like, ‘Y’all aren’t coming tonight, huh?'”
He added: “She was like ‘I don’t think so man. I’ll see if I can get him to get out but I don’t think [so].'”

MGK then commented on his bond with the NFL tight end, 35.
“That’s my dawg,” the “cliché” artist said. “He’s from Cleveland. He’s from right next to where I’m from.”

MGK has opened up about his admiration for Swift, 35, and Kelce in the past.
During an episode of Hot Ones Versus in April 24, he was asked multiple questions by Trippie Redd — with whom he collaborated on the Genre: Sadboy EP — about the couple while eating spicy wings.
First, Redd, 26, referenced a previous offer MGK had made to hand over $1 million ($500,000 in cash and the same amount as a donation to their high schools Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights) if his friend Kelce left the Kansas City Chiefs and joined the Cleveland Browns.
Then, he told MGK: “Burn that bridge by saying three mean things about Taylor Swift.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, you have got to be out of your motherf—ing mind if you think I want any smoke with that fanbase,” the “vampire diaries” performer responded, staring directly at the camera while mentioning the Swifties.
MGK added: “Also, Taylor is a saint and very nice to me, and Travis is my bro.”
After the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the 2024 Super Bowl, Swift and Kelce spent time with MGK and his now-ex Megan Fox at an afterparty at Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World Las Vegas.
MGK’s new album Lost Americana is due Friday, Aug. 8.
