Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has lifted the lid on his first meeting with Taylor Swift on New Year’s Eve… admitting he was wowed by the popstar despite not previously being a big fan!
Tight end Travis Kelce has been dating one of the world’s most famous women since September, and despite her attending multiple games in 2023, it took until the final day of the year for many of the team to finally meet her.
Among the group on December 31 was the team’s kicker Butker, who has now opened up on the moment he was introduced to the ‘Bad Blood’ songstress.
‘I wouldn’t say I’m a Swiftie,’ Butker began in his interview with EWTN News in Depth. ‘She was just so humble and gracious.’
Incredibly, he went on to reveal that not only did she know lots about him, but gushed over his on-field ability.
