Clark, a lifelong Chiefs fan, is also a noted fan of Swift’s music: In her 2024 Athlete of the Year profile in Time, she spoke about attending back-to-back Eras Tour shows at Lucas Oil Stadium, where she met Swift’s mother and Kelce. Swift gave Clark merchandise and invited her to join her for a Chiefs game.

Clark spoke about her Chiefs fandom on Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast earlier this month, telling Travis and Jason Kelce that she had been a Kansas City fan all her life.

“I’m a Midwest kid,” she said, explaining that her hometown of Des Moines, Iowa, is three hours from Kansas City, Missouri, and that she also had family there. “My dad was a big Chiefs fan growing up. People think I’m a bandwagon Chiefs fan, I’m like, ‘No, I was there before Patrick [Mahomes] and Travis [Kelce]. We were ride or die.”

Kansas City won, 23-14, with Mahomes now heading to his seventh consecutive AFC championship game. Kelce finished with 117 yards receiving and a touchdown.
