Taylor Swift's Gift To Kansas City Chiefs Coach Is Exploding On Social Media

Thanks to her relationship with tight end Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift has formed various relationships with people connected to the Kansas City Chiefs. Proof if this was when the musician gave Dave Merritt, one of the team’s coaches, a personalized gift lately.

Swift has become a delightful presence in the Chiefs’ locker room, especially known for her thoughtful baking. Following the team’s recent nail-biting victory over the Carolina Panthers, defensive backs coach Dave Merritt shared his surprise at receiving homemade “victory Pop-Tarts” from Swift. This gesture not only showcases her culinary skills but also her growing connection with the team, particularly through her relationship with tight end Travis Kelce.

Merritt expressed his excitement on social media, sharing a photo of the treats and noting how special it was to receive them. However, his pride was humorously tempered when his wife revealed that Swift had been baking for various team members throughout the season. Despite not being the only recipient, Merritt remained charmed by Swift’s generosity, describing her as a “sweet young woman.”

Swift’s baking has become somewhat of a tradition within the Chiefs organization. Earlier in the season, head coach Andy Reid mentioned that she had prepared homemade Pop-Tarts for the offensive linemen, further solidifying her role as a beloved figure among the players. Reid humorously lamented his lack of Pop-Tarts, highlighting the camaraderie that Swift’s baking has fostered within the team.

In addition to the Pop-Tarts, it’s been reported that Swift has also made cinnamon rolls for Kelce, adding a personal touch to his pre-game meals. This blend of personal and professional has made her a cherished part of the Chiefs’ culture, with players and coaches appreciating her efforts as they pursue another championship.
