Taylor Swift admits 'freaking out' when Chiefs drafted Xavier Worthy in 2024

Travis Kelce's girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was very excited during last year's NFL draft. The Kansas City Chiefs acquired wide receiver Xavier Worthy in their first-round pick. He became the centre of attraction after running the 40-yard dashing 4.21 seconds, making him the fastest player in combine history.

In her appearance on the 'New Heights' podcast on Wednesday, Taylor Swift reflected on her excitement after the chiefs drafted the speedy wide receiver. She used this as a reference to showcase her passion and love for the sport.

"I fell in love with it," Swift said as per Kevin Patra. "I became obsessed with it. I became like a person who was running through the walls of my house screaming, 'We drafted Xaiver Worthy!' And my friends are like, 'Who body snatched you? What do you mean 'WE' drafted Xavier Worthy?'" (10:19 onwards)

Travis Kelce joined in on the excitement, saying that he also initially did not believe that Chiefs traded up to get the ex-Texas Longhorns player in the first round.

"I couldn't believe it either," Kelce said. "I'm like, wait, is she right? I had to look this up. I'm like, did she get the wrong information here? But yeah, we traded up."

During his debut with the Chiefs, Xavier Worthy started 13 of the 17 matches he played. He produced a total of 638 yards and six TDs receiving , helping Andy Reid's side reach Super Bowl LIX. In the final against the Eagles, the Wide Receiver recorded 157 yards and two TDs receiving. Sadly, Chiefs lost the match, 40-22.

Reid stated that he was happy with the way the couple had progressed since they started dating in 2023.

"My grandkids will be all over it. I'm happy for them. Both of them care about each other and what a plus that is. The older you get, you want these guys to have someone they can settle down with. I think it's a neat deal for both of them."
