Pat McAfee is a well-known voice in sports, so watching an NFL game is nothing unusual for him. Since this was the Chiefs vs. Broncos game, it was obvious that Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce’s wife, Taylor Swift, would not miss it either. However, this game was special because the show host watched it alongside not only Kelce’s wife but also Hollywood’s evergreen superstar Tom Cruise.
Pat McAfee recalls the unexpected moments he shared with Taylor Swift and Tom Cruise while watching Travis Kelce play
During the Chiefs vs. Broncos game, Pat McAfee watched the matchup alongside Taylor Swift and Tom Cruise. Recently, through an X post, he shared how everyone in the suite was completely into football. In the post, the show host also recalled the moment he shared with the actor and pop star while watching Travis Kelce’s play.
On Tuesday’s episode, the host started, “I potentially talked to Tom Cruise last night. I got a chance to chit-chat with Miss Taylor Swift last night. Huge day… I’ll tell you, I was dripping in sweat.”
Pat McAfee revealed that when he met Donna Kelce, he greeted her by saying, “Legend, how are you?” Before he could greet the pop star, she simply hugged her, which the sports analyst jokingly described as a “sweaty hug.” He then talked about Tom Cruise and revealed that even after wearing a leather jacket, the actor had no sweat on his face. In a funny way, he said, “He’s the movie star. He doesn’t sweat, dude.”
Pat McAfee went on to explain how, after Travis Kelce caught a 59-yard pass, he went over to the newlywed Mrs. Kelce and asked for a selfie. She kindly agreed, and Taylor Swift was very hospitable.
For context, Taylor Swift married Chiefs star Travis Kelce on July 3, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and the American sports analyst attended their wedding.
