Taylor Swift Cheers on Travis Kelce at Kansas City Chiefs Playoff Game
Good times flowing with Taylor Swift’s chosen family.
The singer's appearances at boyfriend Travis Kelce's games have been the subject of fascination for many ever since she first appeared at at Kansas City Chiefs game in the fall of 2023 and, now, Baron Corbin is shedding light on what it's like inside the VIP suite with Taylor.
After the former WWE star reconnected with the tight end at a local Kansas City charity event, Travis invited Baron—whose real name is Tom Pestock—to one of his games.
"He’s like, ‘Yo, come to a game. Let me treat you to a game [and] stay in my suite,'" Baron recalled on the Jan. 23 episode of Insight With Chris Van Vliet. "He’s like, ‘I own a suite there.’"
The 40-year-old ended up bringing two family members with him to a game last year that Taylor—who he called "super dope and super humble"—also ended up attending.
"They took us up to the suite, and then [one of my family members'] was like, ‘I wonder if Taylor’s going to be here,'" he recalled, "and as they say it, she was [walking] into the room."
"My brother’s freaking a little bit," Baron continued, "and she walks right up to everybody, gives them a hug [and] gave us a hug like it was like you were instantly family."

The former professional athlete went on to reveal what it was like having so many eyes on their suite, which gave him insight into what it's like to be Taylor.
"It was crazy ‘cause I [felt] like I was in a fishbowl and I wanted out of the suite," he explained. "It’s just mobs of people taking selfies of Taylor and just her existing. I’ve never been around someone like that."
"It’s a different magnitude," Baron, who "had conversations" with Taylor at the game, added. "You felt like everyone in the stadium is staring at you because you’re standing behind her."

In spite of the overwhelming attention Taylor receives by fans at Chiefs games, she doesn't call attention to herself within the confines of Travis' suite.
"She walked in with, like, maybe her security guard," Baron said. "But, no entourage. It’s all Kelce’s buddies from high school and home. They’re all super cool; they’re all humble and nobody’s got egos, but Taylor’s super dope."

And she’s just as low key outside the suit as Baron recalled spending time with the couple at their holiday party last year.
"Travis threw a little Christmas party [and] we hung out,” he shared. “She’s just a regular human being [who] is probably the most influential person in the world right now and unbelievably talented, writes all her own stuff. It’s so refreshing to see someone like that."
