If you like tracking celebrity sightings at sporting events, it is a busy time to follow the Kansas City Chiefs. Especially as they take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl on Sunday in New Orleans.

Taylor Swift has attended numerous games while supporting her partner, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. As such, particularly last season, we saw many of her very famous friends (including Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively as well as Cara Delevingne and Keileigh Teller) at Kansas City games.

It was not long ago that a mic’d up Paul Rudd was the most excited while celebrating on the field with the players after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. He and his son also gave the most adorable interview following a big victory.

But it wasn’t the first time that the famous actor celebrated on the field after Kansas City won the Super Bowl. Rudd was also joined by Eric Stonestreet (the actor who played Cameron in Modern Family) when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2020.

Here are some of the other most notable names rooting for Kansas City:

Travis Kelce presented ‘Best Comeback Athlete’ award at 2023 ESPYs

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce presented the award for “Best Comeback Player” at the 2023 ESPYs on Wednesday night with Saturday Night Live star Heidi Gardner. Donning an all-white suit, Kelce took the stage after a comical introduction by popular podcaster and former NFL punter Pat McAfee.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray won the award, beating out a field of bonafide legends like Jon Jones of the UFC, Alyssa Thomas of the WNBA, and New York Mets pitcher Max Verlander.

Murray’s recent NBA championship win was sure to lift him over the competition in this category. However, all the nominees had exceptional campaigns in their respective sports after returning from injury.

Perhaps the committee that decided Kelce should participate in the ceremony to grant this award chose him specifically because of his bounce-back campaign with the Chiefs in 2014, when he made his first career start in Kansas City after missing his rookie season due to injury.

Jason Kelce made a hilarious cameo during Travis Kelce’s Saturday Night Live episode

Jason Kelce made a FANTASTIC SNL cameo while Travis Kelce hosted.

It wasn’t just Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce who got to have a Saturday Night Live moment this weekend.

While the Super Bowl 57 winner hosted the long-running variety series and appeared in numerous skits, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce appeared in a skit with his brother.

We’ll let you find out how the skit unravels below, but real-life Chiefs fan Heidi Gardner gets plenty of moments to play off of both Kelce brothers as Jason Kelce cameos toward the end of the clip.

It’s not just the Manning brothers anymore who can hold their own with Saturday Night Live. The Kelce brothers can, too.

Alright, that’s pretty good. The Kelce brothers got plenty of spotlight during Super Bowl 57, and it seems like they could be paving a path for themselves after their playing days are over for very successful media careers.

So, yes, what we’re saying is, ESPN needs a Kelcecast one of these days.
