Taylor Swift had more than one connection on the field in Monday's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints.

Khalen Saunders, a defensive tackle for the Saints, is the brother of Kameron Saunders, a backup dancer for Swift – who was in attendance Monday night during her highly publicized Eras Tour.

And Khalen intercepted Patrick Mahomes in the end zone in the third quarter — one play after he delivered a big hit to Swift's friend Travis Kelce.

The ESPN broadcast had just featured a photo of Kameron, Swift and Kelce together in London, where Chiefs tight end Kelce joined Swift on stage as a dancer during one of her performances. On the next play, Khalen made his second career interception and ran the ball back to the New Orleans 35-yard line.

When asked by reporters later in the week who his brother would support, Khalen said Swift was his brother's boss, but he got there first.

Khalen Saunders, 28, is in his second year with the Saints. He was a third-round pick of the Chiefs in 2019. He played four seasons with Kansas City and won two Super Bowls with the team (and Kelce) before moving to New Orleans in 2022.
