Vice President JD Vance said he’s concerned the NFL will favor the Kansas City Chiefs now that Travis Kelce is engaged to Taylor Swift — and is even “worried they’re going to have a Super Bowl wedding.”
“I will say as a football fan − as a Cincinnati Bengals fan − I hope that the NFL does not put a thumb on the scale for the Kansas City Chiefs just because Travis Kelce is now getting married to maybe the most famous woman in the world,” Vance told USA Today.

The Ohio-born vice president feared the NFL would be biased toward the Chiefs so the newly-engaged couple could have a storybook love story on and off the field. Kelce is the Chiefs’ tight end.
“You guys can’t sort of have this, I’m worried they’re going to have a Super Bowl wedding thing this season,” Vance added. “Can’t do it. The Kansas City Chiefs have to follow the same rules as everybody else.”
