This Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader has a special Hawaii connection

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Look for a cheerleader with Hawaii ties at the Super Bowl!

For the second time, Kaiser High School graduate Ariane Lewis will head to the Super Bowl as a Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader!

“I didn’t expect it last year. So, I definitely didn’t expect it this year!” exclaimed Lewis.

The 25-year-old danced hula in her audition and got picked to be on the team in 2022. The Oahu native is now in Las Vegas with a packed schedule before the big game!

“We’re typically there anywhere between four to six hours before the game,” Lewis said.

“We do our field rehearsal, we try to practice all the routines that we’re going to do on the field and then from there, we’ll get ready again and then greet some fans around the stadium.”

Having the “Taylor Swift effect” she says, is a plus.

“It’s so electric. Some fans would ask have you spotted her yet? Have you seen her while she’s been here? I actually did get to meet her for a moment and it was really cool.

“She’s super nice and very down to earth. It’s been great having her around.”

Lewis misses Hawaii’s warm weather and has ono food cravings.

“Zippy’s for sure is the number one spot!”

She’s sending her energy to all the fans back home who’ll be watching the biggest game in football: “Be ready to do the chop with us! We will be singing loud at the Allegiant Stadium!”
