"I actually got a chance to meet her at Trav’s house and she was just super, super sweet," Gordon said. "And since then we’ve been super cool. I call her my sis. That’s my sis.

"I forgot that she was even Taylor Swift, that’s how she makes you feel. I wasn’t saying, ‘Oh my God, this is Taylor.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, this is one of my homegirls from back home.’ That’s how I felt. So I love it."

Gordon and Swift share a close bond and are often spotted cheering for their partners together at Kansas City Chiefs games. In November, Gordon celebrated her daughter's birthday and later revealed that she received a special handmade gift from Swift.

Fans might not see Taylor Swift cheer for the tight end in the upcoming Week 18 clash. According to an NFL insider, Kelce will likely be rested for the Chiefs final regular season game.
