The presence of Taylor Swift at Kansas City Chiefs games has made a lasting impact, with fans describing her as approachable and down-to-earth.
Baron Corbin, a longtime Chiefs supporter and former wrestler, shared his experience meeting the superstar at one of Travis Kelce’s games during an appearance on the Insight With Chris Van Vliet podcast on Thursday, January 23.
Corbin recalled attending the game with his uncle and brother, and he mentioned how they were all wondering if Taylor Swift would be at the game. Just as they discussed it, Swift walked into the room. His brother, visibly excited, couldn’t contain his reaction as she approached their group, greeting everyone with hugs. Corbin described the moment as if they were “instantly family,” emphasizing how warm and welcoming Swift was.
He continued to share his awe of the pop star, expressing how surreal it felt to be in her presence. “I felt like I was in a fishbowl, and I wanted out of the suite.” Corbin noted the frenzy that surrounded Swift, with fans taking selfies and crowding around her. Despite the attention she garnered, he admired how Swift handled it gracefully. He described the situation as overwhelming, with the sensation that everyone in the stadium was focused on their every move as they stood behind her.
However, Corbin was quick to praise Swift for being “super dope and super humble.” He pointed out that despite the large crowd, Swift was still approachable, walking in with just a security guard and no entourage. The Chiefs players, including Kelce, were all very humble, Corbin noted, and it was refreshing to see Swift in such a genuine setting.
Corbin also mentioned attending a Christmas party thrown by Kelce, where Swift was just as down-to-earth. He described her as a regular person who happens to be “probably the most influential person in the world right now.” He also admired her remarkable talent, saying it was refreshing to see someone so successful yet so grounded. “She’s unbelievably talented and writes all her own stuff,” Corbin added, making it clear that Taylor Swift’s humility and authenticity left a lasting impression on him.
