KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chris Jones might have just earned himself the title of the Kansas City Chiefs’ biggest Swiftie. The star defensive tackle turned heads Thursday when he strutted into his press conference singing Taylor Swift’s latest hit, “The Fate of Ophelia,” from her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.

Jones didn’t just hum a few notes — he owned the moment, smiling ear to ear as he belted out the lyrics before taking his seat. Cameras flashed, reporters laughed, and within minutes, clips of the impromptu performance were all over social media.

Fans, of course, were quick to react.

“Competing for the #1 Taylor Swift fan on the team,” one fan joked under a viral X post. Another added, “I know Trav plays the heck out of the album every single day in the locker room — 10/10 husband.”

Others took the opportunity to mix humor with football predictions. “LMFAOOO OH CJ just got Tayvoodoo — he gonna have 5 sacks against the Bills,” one user wrote ahead of Kansas City’s Week 9 showdown with Buffalo.

It’s no secret that Taylor Swift’s music has become a frequent part of Chiefs culture since her relationship with tight end Travis Kelce went public. But Jones’ entrance took it to another level, proving the Swiftie energy runs deep in Kansas City’s locker room.

“Swift’s music has been on repeat lately,” one player admitted after practice. “We don’t even fight it anymore. It’s part of the vibe.”

Some fans even suggested Swift might consider adding Jones to her next album after that performance. Given how comfortable he seemed behind the mic, the idea might not be as far-fetched as it sounds.

Chris Jones truly made an entrance on Thursday when he walked into his press conference. The Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle walked in and walked out singing Taylor Swift’s hit song “The Fate of Ophelia,” from her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl.

Just look at the smile on his face as he belted out a few of the lyrics!

And fans couldn’t get enough.

“competing for the #1 Taylor swift fan on the team,” one person commented.

“I know Trav plays the heck out of the album every single day in the locker room, 10/10 husband,” another fan wrote.

“LMFAOOO OH CJ just got tayvoodoo he gonna have 5 sacks against the bills,” another person predicted ahead of Kansas City’s Week 9 game against the Bills.

Swift will have to get Jones to join her on the next album after this performance!

Travis Kelce Celebrates 100th Touchdown With Taylor Swift Dance

While Jones was making headlines off the field, Travis Kelce delivered another memorable moment on it. During Sunday’s matchup against the Washington Commanders, the star tight end recorded the 100th touchdown of his career, a milestone that cemented his place among the NFL’s all-time greats.

The score also tied Kelce with franchise legend Priest Holmes for the most touchdowns in Chiefs history — an achievement fitting for a player who’s been redefining his position for a decade.

But it wasn’t just the touchdown that had fans talking. It was what came next.

After crossing into the end zone, Kelce broke out a dance that keen-eyed fans immediately recognized — a playful nod to Swift’s choreography from her “The Fate of Ophelia” music video. The song, already trending worldwide, has sparked a viral dance trend online, and Swifties instantly connected the dots when Kelce began mimicking the moves.

One fan even posted a side-by-side video showing Kelce’s celebration alongside Swift’s original dance. The caption read: “He really said this one’s for you, babe 🫶.”

Social media exploded. Within hours, the clip had racked up millions of views, with fans celebrating both the milestone and the sweet personal touch.

“Travis scoring his 100th touchdown and honoring Taylor at the same time? That’s peak romantic athlete behavior,” one X user wrote. Another added, “You just know Taylor’s screaming watching this.”

Kelce hasn’t commented publicly on whether the dance was intentional, but given his past record of cheeky on-field tributes, fans aren’t buying that it was a coincidence.

Chiefs Continue to Embrace the Spotlight

Between Chris Jones’ musical moment and Kelce’s milestone celebration, it’s clear the Chiefs are embracing the intersection of pop culture and football like no other team in the league.

The dynamic isn’t just fun for fans — it’s boosting team chemistry. Players have spoken about the positive energy Swift’s presence and music bring into the locker room. Even head coach Andy Reid, known for his calm demeanor, recently joked that “if it keeps them winning, they can sing whatever they want.”

Kansas City’s culture has always balanced intensity with personality, and this week perfectly showcased that spirit.

Jones’ performance brought laughter, Kelce’s dance brought celebration, and together they showed why this Chiefs team continues to dominate both the field and the internet.

At this point, the only thing left might be a halftime duet — Chris Jones on vocals, Travis Kelce on choreography — and maybe, just maybe, a cameo from Taylor Swift herself.

Because in Kansas City, football and pop stardom have never mixed better.
