In a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New Orleans Saints, Taylor Swift had multiple connections on the field. Khalen Saunders, a defensive tackle for the Saints, is the brother of Kameron Saunders, a backup dancer for Swift. Khalen intercepted Patrick Mahomes in the end zone one play after hitting Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce. The ESPN broadcast showed a photo of Kameron, Swift, and Kelce together in London when Kelce joined Swift as a dancer on stage. Khalen then intercepted the ball and returned it to the New Orleans 35-yard line. When asked whom his brother would be rooting for, Khalen mentioned that Swift is his brother’s boss, but he was there first. Khalen, who is in his second year with the Saints, was a third-round pick for the Chiefs in 2019 and won two Super Bowls with the team and Kelce before joining the Saints in 2022. This unique connection between Taylor Swift’s backup dancer and his brother playing in the NFL game added an interesting twist to the Monday night matchup.
