It’s a new era in sports television. One where a former NFL punter, Pat McAfee, is one of the biggest names on ESPN, and conversations about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce dominate the airwaves. This includes Swift’s late night social media behavior that caught McAfee completely off guard and led him to make a bold proclamation about her relationship to the Kansas City Chiefs star.

Chiefs receive Super Bowl rings, Swift joins in

“Taylor, congrats on your first Super Bowl,” McAfee said during a monologue about the Chiefs’ ring ceremony that took place on Thursday night.

He emphasized that Swift was “a part of it all” as the Chiefs made the storybook run to Super Bowl LVIII behind star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, with Swift appearing at many games to cheer on Kelce.

But what stunned McAfee the most about the ceremony was what Taylor did on social media in the meantime. Still on the UK leg of her International Eras Tour, Swift finished a show in Liverpool with a 6-hour time difference and then hit Instagram to celebrate.

She put a flurry of comments on an Instagram Live stream of the Super Bowl ring ceremony, hosted by Mecole Hardman‘s partner, Chariah Gordon.

The controversial ESPN host, maligned last week for calling Caitlin Clark “white b*itch,” seems to be shipping the Chiefs power couple and predicting a happy ending. He spoke profusely about how happy Travis seems and Taylor’s genuine interest in the success of the team.

“When you talk about two greats being this in love, it’s great for society,” McAfee said wistfully. “If we’re hearing more so high school songs about love and happiness, that’s good for the world!”

His co-hosts jumped in by taking the ring conversation a step further: “What if Trav’s ring has ‘Will you marry me?’ on the inside of it and the Chiefs set it up that way and he’s gonna propose with the ring.”
