Taylor Swift has approved the Kansas City Chiefs’ decision to select Texas receiver Xavier Worthy in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night.
The pop sensation – and Travis Kelce‘s girlfriend – has become an avid Chiefs fan in recent months thanks to her high-profile relationship with the three-time Super Bowl winner.
And it seems like she’s keeping a close eye on Chiefs coach Andy Reid‘s preparations for next season, particularly which college prospects he’s recruiting.
That’s because Swift liked an Instagram post by the Chiefs that shows Worthy and his family celebrating the moment he was picked by Kansas City.
Worthy was not in Detroit but instead was sat at home with a large group of family and friends, who went wild when his name was called.

Worthy was all smiles and quickly put a Chiefs hat on before hugging his loved ones.
Ecstatic Chiefs fans celebrated the selection by jokingly telling Swift to ‘move over’ for their new recruit – weeks after he set the 40-yard dash record at 4.21 seconds in the NFL Combine
Worthy’s speed means he looks to be a formidable asset for Patrick Mahomes and Kelce and the team whipped up a frenzy on social media by sharing his record-setting 40-yard dash from the NFL Combine.
Worthy blitzed the dash in a stunning 4.21 seconds at the NFL Combine while at Texas.
Chiefs fans couldn’t wait to welcome Worthy to Kansas City and commented on the post: ‘Kid breaks the record and will get a Super Bowl ring in his first season.’
Another couldn’t help but make a reference to Taylor Swift – Kelce’s girlfriend: ‘Move over, Taylor. There’s another Swift coming!’
The Chiefs were supposed to pick last in the first round after winning their second consecutive Super Bowl and third in five years, but they managed to trade up with one of their biggest AFC rivals.
Swift became a regular at Chiefs games throughout last season alongside Kelce’s mom Donna
The Chiefs sent the 32nd pick along with a fourth-rounder and seventh-rounder to the Bills for No. 28, a fourth-rounder and a seventh-rounder.
It meant Andy Reid could hand Mahomes a potential gem in Worthy, who’s a speedy deep threat they’ve been lacking since Tyreek Hill left.
Worthy is more than just a deep threat, showing promise as a route runner and cutting down on the number of drops last season, when he caught 75 passes for 1,014 yards and five TDs.
‘Listen, I like the wide receivers we’ve got,’ Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, ‘but to go add somebody of this quality is important, or a good move to strengthen it. I don’t want to slight the guys we have but he’s a nice addition.’
‘We told Patrick,’ Reid said with a smile. ‘Patrick is curious. He loves this stuff. It doesn’t matter if it’s offense or defense. He just loves the draft. He’s texting away at us and we get back to him. He’s great with it.
‘It doesn’t hurt to have down-the-field speed. We’ve functioned without the great speed down the field and done well, but if you have an opportunity to get somebody you think is a good player, you probably need to take advantage of that.’

The Chiefs won the Super Bowl last year with a patchwork wide receiver corps, and they were in the market for help even before second-year pro Rashee Rice – their biggest breakout star of last season – got embroiled in legal trouble in Texas.
Dallas police allege that Rice was driving a Lamborghini well over 100 mph when he and a friend, who was driving a Corvette, lost control and began a chain-reaction crash that resulted in injuries to several people.
Rice left the scene without seeing if anyone was injured, but turned himself in when police issued warrants for his arrest. Rice has been released on bond, and Reid has said he would continue to participate in the Chiefs’ offseason program as the legal situation plays out.
The Chiefs signed Hollywood Brown in free agency, and tight end Travis Kelce has been every bit as productive as any wide receiver.
But otherwise, the Chiefs were faced with heading into the summer with Justin Watson, drop-prone Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore, and journeymen such as Montrell Washington filling out the receiver corps.
