“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship, and we’re happy to have it,” Donovan said. “It’s been nothing but good for us. I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is: Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She is an authentic fan, and that matters to our fans and our fanbase, and it matters to us and we try to respect that.”
Swift has been granted permission to join the NFL community, with Chiefs president Donovan discussing ways to incorporate her at home games. Swift’s popularity has led to the team incorporating her into their lineup, a move that has been met with mixed reactions. “We’re not trying to capitalize on this. We’re trying to celebrate it, but it’s not about doing too much or showing her every touchdown or anything like that,” Donovan said.

According to Donovan, Swift has been accepted by the Kansas City fans because she is a genuine Chiefs fan. She finds time from her hectic schedule to support not just her boyfriend but the entire squad, showing fans that she is really keen on the Chiefs, and this is one reason why the Chiefs Kingdom loves her so much. This Sunday, the Chiefs are going to play the Carolina Panthers when Patrick Mahomes is likely to bang in touchdowns.
