Gracie and Ava Hunt, the daughters of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark, may be in line to take over the the franchise one day, but for now, they’re simply VIP members of the Chiefs Kingdom. One other such individual is Taylor Swift, the international music superstar who also happens to be dating the team’s legendary tight end, Travis Kelce.
Swift has become close friends with members of the team community such as Brittany Mahomes, wife of superstar Chiefs quarterback Patrick, and Chariah Gordon, who is engaged to wideout Mecole Hardman Jr. She’s also developed a relationship with the Hunts, as she made sure to send some early Christmas gifts to the two girls.
One popular gift among “Swifties” this holiday season is the Eras Tour Book, commemorating Swift’s two-year mega-tour across the United States and world. In fact, the Kansas City stop of the tour was reportedly the catalyst for her and Kelce’s connection, so it’s safe to say that the book is a particularly fitting present for the Hunt girls. In addition to the book itself, Swift included autographed notes for both Gracie and Ava, highlighting the fans’ part in what has been an unforgettable tour for Swift and the music world.

The Hunt girls wasted no time becoming friends with one of their favorite music stars after she began cozying up to their family’s franchise- Gracie posted a series of photos of herself and Swift nearly a year ago in an Instagram post for the singer-songwriter’s 34th birthday. They both took to social media once more to thank Swift for the gift as well. Last year, the Hunts had some holiday presents ready for Swift as well, but this year, she beat them to the punch- we’ll see when and how her gesture will be reciprocated as we get deeper into December.
Gracie, 25 years old, is a former Miss Kansas pageant winner, and even had a strong performance as a Miss USA contestant. Since then, she’s prioritized philanthropy, using her family’s funding and platform to promote inclusivity through sport. Her sister Ava is 19 years old, and a cheerleader at Southern Methodist University, better known as SMU, where she and the Mustangs will hope to win the ACC title game in their first season as a member of the conference, and reach the College Football Playoff.
As for the Chiefs, things are going just about as well as they have ever since Swift began attending games. They’re 11-1 and in the driver’s seat to win the AFC for a third consecutive year, perhaps en route to an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl title. If they make it to New Orleans, with the Eras Tour finally over, we can fully expect to see Swift in attendance, right next to the Hunts in the friends and family suites.
