What Taylor Swift told Chiefs star Mecole Hardman after watching him score the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl
Popstar Taylor Swift was one of the many who congratulated Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman after scoring the game-winning touchdown at Super Bowl LVIII.
Sunday’s game in Las Vegas went down to the dying seconds of an overtime period. With the San Francisco 49ers up, 22-19, Patrick Mahomes found Harman on the right flank to secure their second straight title.
After the game, Hardman shared a moment with the 14-time Grammy winner as they celebrated with Travis Kelce and the rest of the team. Swift and Harman shared an embrace as Swift expressed her joy for the former Georgia Bulldog.
‘Absolutely, absolutely,’ Swift said after the hug. ‘So happy for you guys.’
The two continued to talk as the celebrations went on. While cameras could not pick up much of the conversation, Swift appeared to describe the game-winning play as Hardman did not hold back his smile.
