Taylor Swift explained football to comedian Jerrod Carmichael during the Chiefs postseason

Taylor Swift explained football to comedian Jerrod Carmichael during the #Chiefs’ playoff game against the #Bills.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ celebrity wing notably added music superstar Taylor Swift last season. Her presence could help Chiefs Kingdom grow, as she’s already started recruiting more famous friends to games.

During Wednesday’s interview with Jimmy Kimmel on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show, comedian Jerrod Carmichael revealed his friendship and experience with Swift at this year’s divisional-round game against the Buffalo Bills.

“That’s my best friend. Taylor Swift is my best friend,” said Carmichael, explaining that the pop star invited him to sit in her suite in Buffalo for the game. “I’m not her best friend, but she’s my best friend.”

The infamous suite was showcased often throughout the game because Travis Kelce’s brother Jason celebrated shirtless and chugging beers with fans. Carmichael, who doesn’t typically follow football, says Swift taught him while watching the game.

“She knows more about football than I do,” Carmichael said, admitting Swift’s knowledgable explanation. “Yeah, I’m the girlfriend in that situation.”

The Swift and Carmichael connection was also visible at the Chiefs’ visit to Foxboro against the New England Patriots. So it’s almost safe to say the star of the upcoming HBO show ‘Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show’ could become the latest celebrity member of Chiefs Kingdom.

The victory tour is underway for the Kansas City Chiefs following their Super Bowl LVIII victory. The media appearances around the country allow each player to share their story after completing the rare back-to-back title championship.

The latest appearance involving Super Bowl hero Mecole Hardman involves him getting on the basketball court. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Hardman has been added to Friday night’s NBA Celebrity All-Star game in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The annual showcase featuring celebrities, influencers, and sports figures is a light-hearted game that is more about fun than competition. Hardman will join ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith’s team facing off against another celebrity group led by Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe. Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, and Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons will also participate.

Hardman is well known for his fantastic speed on the football field, so seeing how it translates on the basketball court will be a treat. The 2024 Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN.

WATCH: Legendary actor Morgan Freeman says he’s a big Chiefs fan

Legendary actor Morgan Freeman says he’s a big Kansas City #Chiefs fan and not interested in Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift.

The Kansas City Chiefs have numerous celebrity fans who are proud members of the Chiefs Kingdom. Each has strong opinions and never hides their fandom whenever asked publicly.

The usual names of Paul Rudd, Eric Stonestreet, and recently vocal fan Henry Winkler show their support often. A new celebrity name to be added is legendary actor Morgan Freeman, who revealed during an interview with CBS Mornings his love for the team but not the consistent Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift romance talks.

“I don’t think about them… at all,” said Freeman regarding Kelce and Swft’s relationship. “It’s great to watch Pat (Patrick Mahomes) run. You know, escape. He’s got a rifle for an arm; that’s all good. That’s what I’m interested in.”

Freeman appeared on the national talk show to discuss the new Netflix documentary series, “Life on Our Planet.” He narrates the series, which is executive-produced by Steven Spielberg.

Taylor Swift to attend Chiefs’ Week 6 matchup vs. Broncos on Thursday night

Taylor Swift will reportedly be in attendance at Arrowhead Stadium for the #Chiefs’ Week 6 matchup against the #Broncos.

The Kansas City Chiefs will have Taylor Swift in attendance for their Week 6 matchup against the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. News of Swift’s arrival in Western Missouri broke on Twitter when Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas posted a welcoming note to his official account on Thursday morning.

While Swift’s attendance is sure to excite fans around the country and draw a new audience to the Chiefs’ first divisional matchup of the 2023 season, it is unclear whether her close acquaintance, All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce, will play his usual role in Kansas City’s offense.

Kelce sustained an ankle injury on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, and while he is expected to play in the Week 6 tilt, his contributions may be limited.

Expect Swift’s presence at Arrowhead Stadium to be the subject of numerous headlines throughout the game and for her reactions to any big plays to dominate the television broadcast.
