TikTok sensation and LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne said she is rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 as she is not only a big Taylor Swift fan but also business partners with Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce, Swift’s boyfriend.
Who is Livvy Dunne Rooting for in Super Bowl 59?
“I am rooting for the Chiefs. Unpopular opinion around here, which I’ve heard a lot about,” Dunne told the Daily Mail at Sports Illustrated’s Super Bowl party. “But I’m very excited, and it’s my first Super Bowl, so it’s gonna be a great time.”
When asked why she wants the Chiefs to pull off a historic three-peat, Dunne simply replied: “I’m a Swiftie. … I have not met Taylor, but I know Travis. We’re business partners, and he’s a great guy.”
Dunne has never met Swift, but she is hoping she gets to meet her either at the game or afterward. She would love to meet her at Caesars Superdome either way.
“And I’m sure Taylor’s amazing. I love her,” Dunne said. When asked about the possibility of meeting Swift at the Super Bowl, Dunne replied, “I hope so!”
The social media superstar, who has nearly 13 million followers across her TikTok and Instagram accounts, knows Kelce well as the two partnered to promote the energy drink Accelerator last year, for which they are both brand ambassadors.

Kelce and Dunne met last year during a commercial shoot, but Dunne has not capitalized on her newfound friendship with Kelce to meet her idol.
Dunne is expected to be at the game with boyfriend Paul Skenes, the MLB All-Star pitcher with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
‘It was incredible to watch him do what he does,’ she said about Skenes’ start to his career in the major leagues.
Dunne and Skenes will be watching on from the stands and not a special VIP skybox or private suite. They will be there to potentially witness history as the Chiefs bid to become the first team in history to win three straight Super Bowls.
Swift, who is heading to her second straight Super Bowl after watching Kelce and Kansas City last year in Las Vegas, enjoyed a double date with her man and good friends Brittany and Patrick Mahomes on Friday, Feb. 7.
The pop megastar was also seen with Kylie Kelce, the wife of Travis’ brother Jason Kelce, the night before the game in viral photos on social media.
