qq. The room actually paused when Jerry Jones laughed—soft, surprised, almost boyish—before admitting he loves Taylor Swift and the electricity she brings to every stadium she steps into. No buildup, no hesitation; he went straight into it, praising her star power like it was a secret he’d been waiting to spill before the Thanksgiving clash with the Chiefs. His eyes lit up the way fans do when their favorite song hits, mixing Cowboys pride with a Swiftie’s excitement. But as he spoke, one question lingered—could her presence tilt the entire night’s energy?

Taylor Swift’s presence at NFL games has become a weekly spectacle, drawing new fans and driving ratings as the pop superstar supports Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce from the stands.
With Swift frequently making headlines alongside Kelce, her influence hasn’t gone unnoticed by NFL stakeholders — including Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, one of the league’s most prominent voices since he bought the franchise in 1989.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reveals his stance on Taylor Swift.
“I appreciate, by and through her Kansas City connection, the kind of interest she has brought to the NFL,” Jones said last month. “I can’t get enough Taylor Swift.”
Jones isn’t shy about his Swift fandom either.
“No one is a bigger fan of Taylor Swift than I am,” Jones said. “I can’t get enough Taylor Swift.”
Jerry Jones’ suite at AT&T Stadium is typically filled with a mix of high-profile political figures, celebrities, former Cowboys greats, business partners, and members of the Jones family. It is considered one of the most exclusive seating areas in the NFL, with roughly a few dozen seats terraced in multiple rows overlooking the field.
Notable past guests have included former U.S. presidents such as George W. Bush, political figures like Chris Christie, and global dignitaries such as Nelson Mandela. Jones also frequently hosts Cowboys legends (for example, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Tony Romo, Jason Witten, and others), corporate sponsors, and other VIPs tied to the team’s business operations.

Kylie Kelce torches Cowboys ahead of Thanksgiving clash with Chiefs
Kylie Kelce is showing some love to “Uncle Trav” while getting her digs in at the beloved birds’ NFC East rival, the Cowboys.
Kelce implored fans not to root for the Cowboys during their upcoming Thanksgiving Day game against the Chiefs, which also happens to be the team that her brother-in-law, Travis Kelce, plays for.
The beloved member of the Kelce clan was speaking on her podcast “Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce” when she also took aim at the Cowboys’ status as “America’s team.”
“Don’t root for the Cowboys and do root for the Chiefs. Let’s go, Uncle Trav,” she said. “Also, I’m so sick of the idea that the Cowboys are America’s team. So, they can kiss my ass and, you guessed it, get f–ked.”
Kylie Kelce heeds her “Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce” listners not to root for the Cowboys during their upcoming Thanksgiving game against the Chiefs.
The Cowboys have long held the moniker of “America’s team,” dating back to 1978 when it was first coined by NFL Films producer Bob Ryan for a highlight package.
It was narrated by legendary NFL Films voice John Facenda for a highlight reel of the 1978 season.
“The Cowboys are the Notre Dame of professional football. No matter where they play, their fans are there to greet them. Their faces are recognized by fans all across this country. The sum total of their stars are a galaxy. They are the Dallas Cowboys… America’s Team,” he said in the clip, per Bleacher Report.
Kelce’s rooting interest in the game also stems from the fact that the Chiefs will be playing the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

Travis Kelce is the brother of Kylie Kelce’s husband, Eagles great Jason Kelce.
During the podcast, she made sure to give Travis his due after he broke the Chiefs’ all-time touchdown record with his 21-yard touchdown catch during their 22-19 loss to the Broncos in Week 11.
“That is an unbelievable feat,” she said. “Something that will be very difficult to get dethroned from.”
