Taylor Swift left one fan mesmerized after she planted a kiss on her cheek while in a private suite at the Chiefs-Bills AFC Championship game in Kansas City on Sunday.
Nicole Viscount, a 29-year-old waitress in Rehoboth Beach, attended the game with her fiancé Craig Parmenter as special guests of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his older brother, former Eagles center Jason Kelce.
In an interview with Delaware Online, Viscount — who’s been a fan of Swift since age 11 and attended one of her concerts as a teenager — said she was determined to stay “cool, calm and collected” when she met Swift in Kelce’s family suite at GEHA Field.
Parmenter, 36, a former offensive tackle with the University of Cincinnati, is a former Bearcats teammate and roomante of the Kelce brothers.
“I’ll cry right now just thinking about it,” Viscount told the outlet. “I will probably never wash my face again.”
Viscount, clad in an Eagles hat, recalled Swift introducing herself as, “Hi, I’m Taylor.”
She refrained from telling the 14-time Grammy winner she idolized her since a young age.
“But I think she could probably tell just by looking in my eyes,” Viscount said, adding that Swift’s father, Scott, took notice of her Eagles hat.
Swift grew up in Reading, Pa.
The Dewey Beach native has since pinned the image to her Instagram page with the caption, “meet my bff, her name is Taylor” with a pink heart emoji.
Swift aggregators on social media reposted it with envy and messages such as “this fan is living my dream.”
Viscount explained how Swift was a supportive girlfriend when Kelce entered the suite to celebrate after the Chiefs beat the Bills and punched their ticket to Super Bowl 2025.
“Once he was in the room, all she did was follow him around to take pictures of him with his family and friends, make sure that he had something to drink and was having a good time,” Viscount said. “She was the literal definition of a supportive, happy girlfriend.”
Kansas City is the first back-to-back champion to return to the Super Bowl, putting the Chiefs on the brink of a historic three-peat.
Viscount first met the Kelce brothers last April during a recording of their “New Heights” podcast on alumni weekend at Cincinnati.
The couple’s whirlwind weekend was courtesy of Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, who hosted the couple at their home in the Philadelphia suburbs.
On Saturday, they attended the taping of Jason’s ESPN late night television show “They Call It Late Night” at Union Transfer in Philadelphia, before going to see Andrew Santino’s stand-up comedy show at The Met with Jason and Kylie.
The next day, they received a police escort to Lincoln Financial Field and hung out at Xfinity Live with Jason as filmed segments at the Eagles’ tailgates for ESPN.
Viscount and Parmenter then joined Kelce on a private jet to Kansas City, where they took in the Chiefs’ 32-29 victory over the Bills.
“We actually missed the Eagles game because his jet doesn’t have Wi-Fi yet, which was kind of upsetting,” Viscount said, laughing.
Since it was her first NFL game, they watched from the stands in seats on the 25-yard line, five rows behind the Chiefs’ bench, before going up to Kelce’s suite.
“It all kind of hit me. And then all day I was just giggling every once in a while because it all seems so surreal,” Viscount said. “Today, I’m just walking around my house trying to figure out how to be a normal person again.”
After meeting Swift, Viscount told Jason that it was the best day of her life and he laughed.
“And I was like, ‘I’m being serious,’” Viscount said.
“They are just the best guys. They’re so good at keeping up friendships from their childhood,” she added of the Kelce brothers.
