In a candid revelation that’s taken fans by surprise, Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) opened up about a private exchange he had with Taylor Swift during the Kansas City Chiefs’ shocking Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The rapper, whose real name is Colson Baker, shared the inside scoop during his August 6 appearance on ABC News Live, shedding light on the mood shift that took place in Travis Kelce’s luxury suite as the game slipped away from the reigning champions.
“Legendary Night” Takes a Turn
MGK, who was among the celebrity guests watching the game from Kelce’s box, recalled how Swift was initially brimming with excitement.
“I was in Travis’ suite, and at the beginning of it Taylor was like, ‘Hell yeah we’re gonna come watch you perform,’ like it’s gonna be crazy tonight,” MGK recalled.
But as the Eagles surged ahead, hope began to fade — even for the pop icon.
“By the third quarter, dude, I was looking at that score, I went up to Taylor I was like, ‘Y’all aren’t coming tonight, huh?’” he said with a laugh.
Taylor Swift, clearly disappointed by how the game was unfolding, replied, “I don’t think so man. I’ll see if I can get him to get out but I don’t think [so].”
A Bond Beyond the Spotlight
Despite the crushing loss, MGK took a moment to reaffirm his close relationship with the NFL star and his admiration for Swift.
“That’s my dawg,” he said of Travis Kelce. “He’s from Cleveland. He’s from right next to where I’m from.”
MGK has consistently spoken highly of both Swift and Kelce in the past. During a Hot Ones Versus episode earlier this year, he not only doubled down on his loyalty to Kelce — even jokingly offering $1 million for him to join the Cleveland Browns — but also made it crystal clear that he holds Taylor Swift in high regard.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you have got to be out of your motherf---ing mind if you think I want any smoke with that fanbase,” he said when asked to say three mean things about Taylor.
“Also, Taylor is a saint and very nice to me, and Travis is my bro.”
A Glimpse Into Taylor Swift’s Off-Camera Persona
While Taylor Swift has been the center of NFL headlines for her relationship with Travis Kelce, this rare glimpse into her candid side during a high-stakes game adds a new layer to the narrative. Far from her polished public persona, Swift’s honest exchange with MGK shows how invested she is — not just as a partner, but as a passionate supporter.
Whether she’s lighting up the stadium or offering heartfelt moments behind the scenes, Taylor Swift continues to captivate — even in defeat.
