Scott Swift, Taylor Swift's father, speaks briefly about becoming a Chiefs fan

Taylor Swift's father Scott Swift is perhaps one of his daughter's biggest supporters, and he's seemingly warming up to the idea of ​​becoming a Kansas City Chiefs fan as well.

When asked by paparazzi if he was a Chiefs fan before Taylor, 34, started dating the team's tight end, Scott, 71, played coy with his answer.

“I'm a football fan – of all teams,” Scott said on Friday, February 2 per Page sixbefore adding that Chiefs coach Andy Reid used to be part of the Eagles. (Before Taylor's romance with Travis KelceScott and the Swift family were devoted Philadelphia Eagles fans.)

Scott was also spotted at the airport days earlier by a Swiftie who was heading there TikTok to share a snippet of their sweet interaction. When Scott opened his suitcase in the video, eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed he had packed a Chiefs lanyard.

“There's my Chiefs thing,” he is heard saying in the clip as he hands the fan a handful of guitar picks with Taylor's Midnights album cover.

The lanyard appears to be the same one he wore while standing at the front desk with Kelce, 34 Eras tour in November 2023. After Scott's subtle support went viral, Kelce later made fun of him and his brother Jason Kelce's “New Heights” podcast that he convinces the Swifties “one by one” to join the Chiefs Kingdom.

“I got him on the right side, baby,” Travis said during a November 2023 episode, as 36-year-old Jason, who is a center for the Eagles, was not happy to see Scott wearing Chiefs merchandise.

“What are we doing?” he joked. “Are you going to let your devilish good looks and relationship with your daughter distract you from a life of fandom, Scott? Ridiculous.”

Travis laughed and replied, “I could have convinced him the night before at dinner when I met him. … Maybe who knows?”

Travis claimed that Scott is “a huge football guy” and played the sport in college. “I think he was a center linebacker,” Travis said. “He's a tall guy.” Jason noted that he hoped to “talk to Scott about some store.”

In December 2023, Taylor took her dad along to cheer on Travis as the Chiefs took on the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts — and he was wearing Chiefs gear. While on the stadium's jumbotron, Taylor blew a kiss to the camera as her father proudly pointed to his Chiefs jersey.
