WWE star Baron Corbin has revealed what it's like to sit next to Taylor Swift as she cheers on Travis Kelce for the Kansas City Chiefs.
The singer is expected to be at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday night when Kelce and the Chiefs take on the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game. The winner will advance to the Super Bowl in New Orleans on February 9.
Corbin, real name Tom Pestock, joined Swift at Kelce's suite at Arrowhead in December 2023 after meeting the Chiefs star at a charity event, with Kelce subsequently inviting him to a game.
In an appearance on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet,” Pestock revealed that he took his brother and his uncle to the Dec. 10 game against the Bills in Arrowhead, which the Chiefs lost 20-17.
“We're kindred spirits now,” he said of Kelce. “We went…and then my uncle or my brother said, 'I wonder if Taylor's going to be here,' and as they say, she was in the room.
“My brother goes a little crazy, but she just walks up to everyone and gives them a hug. And gives us a hug. It was like instant family,” he said.

“But it's weird, because I wanted to get out of that suite for a bit. Dude, it's just groups of people standing outside the suite taking selfies of Taylor.
'That was a different magnitude. You felt like everyone in the stadium was staring at you because you were behind her.
'I've had conversations with her. Super dope, super humble. Sober. And they're all Kelce's friends from high school and back home, and they're all super cool. Nobody has egos there.”
Pestock added that he went to a Christmas party with Swift and Kelce after the game.
“Travis threw a little Christmas party. We hung out and went to the bar,” he said. 'I don't know what she drank, but she'll go.
“She's just an ordinary person and probably the most influential person in the world right now. And incredibly talented.'
The excitement surrounding Swift and Kelce's relationship was particularly high that day in December, with the couple not making their relationship public until September of that year.
Swift and Kelce are hoping the score doesn't repeat itself this weekend as the Bills return to Kansas City.
While Josh Allen and his team emerged victorious that day in 2023, the Chiefs defeated the Bills in the playoffs later in the season, with Kelce scoring two touchdowns.
Last weekend, Kelce scored a touchdown in an outstanding performance as the Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans 23-14 to advance to the playoffs.
The Bills, meanwhile, won a dramatic game at Highmark against the Baltimore Ravens, with Ravens tight end Mark Andrews dropping the ball as he was about to enter the end zone for a two-point conversion to tie the game in the final seconds.
The winner of Bills vs Chiefs will meet the winner of Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders in New Orleans.
