The Kansas City Chiefs have some big names backing them!
Stars including Paul Rudd, Jason Sudeikis and Brad Pitt are loud and proud about their love for the Super Bowl LVIII champions, who are headed to Super Bowl LIX come Sunday. While some A-listers like Paul Rudd, Jason Sudeikis and Eric Stonestreet have been lifelong supporters, other big names such as Taylor Swift, Henry Cavill and Henry Winkler have recently been welcomed by the Chiefs’ fanbase with open arms.
Check out all of the celebrities who will be rooting for Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the rest of the Kansas City squad as they face off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 9 at the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

Even though she’s from Pennsylvania (and let’s not forget, has a lyric about “my Eagles t-shirt hanging from your door”), Taylor Swift started rooting for Travis Kelce‘s Kansas City Chiefs when the pair started dating in 2023.
The “Bejeweled” singer fueled romance rumors about herself and Travis when she showed up for two Chiefs games on consecutive that fall. When she first popped up at Arrowhead Stadium, Swift dressed in the team’s colors and wore her classic red lip to match.
She’s since been to 22 games (19 of which they won!) and celebrated with her boyfriend on the field when the team won the championship last year.

Supporting her bestie’s boyfriend at last year’s Super Bowl was Blake Lively, who was seen cheering and laughing alongside Swift while decked out in a Chiefs red tracksuit.

The Ant-Man star grew up in Kansas City, and he’s remained true to his home team. Ahead of the Super Bowl in 2023, in which the Chiefs played the Philadelphia Eagles, Paul Rudd told PEOPLE that he expected the game to be “very stressful.”
Luckily, Rudd’s team came out on top! The Chiefs bested the Eagles and took home the championship.
“I can’t believe it,” Rudd said in a post-game interview with his son, Jack, for Fox Sports. “It was such a great game, and, wow, it all just feels so overwhelming and incredible.”

Ted Lasso viewers think of Jason Sudeikis as a coach onscreen, but in real life he’s just another fan! Having grown up near Kansas City, the actor doesn’t hide his love for the Chiefs — and the team loves him back. In September 2023, Travis Kelce raved to PEOPLE about his love for Ted Lasso.
“Jason Sudeikis is one of my favorites,” the Chiefs tight end shared. “He and his family always pop in for a game here and there.”
Sudeikis’ dedication was on full display when he appeared on Peyton and Eli Manning’s Manningcast last November. As the Chiefs were down 10 – 14 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers going into the third quarter, the actor simply brushed it off, telling the brothers it’s all part of “setting up an incredible fourth quarter,” where Mahomes and the team would be sure to pull off a win. And they did.
