Biden is hosting the Kansas City Chiefs minus Taylor Swift to celebrate the team's Super Bowl title
President Joe Biden is hosting the Kansas City Chiefs at the White House to celebrate the NFL team's third Super Bowl victory in five years
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is welcoming the Kansas City Chiefs to the White House on Friday to celebrate the NFL team's third Super Bowl victory in five years.
The entire team was expected to participate in the event on the South Lawn, for the second time in two years. But one person whose presence was not anticipated was singer Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of tight end Travis Kelce.
Biden will honor the Chiefs for a come-from-behind overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in February. It's long-standing tradition for championship sports teams, both professional and collegiate, to be invited to the White House.
The Chiefs have won the Super Bowl three times in the past five years. In 2023, they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, first lady Jill Biden's favorite football team. She grew up near Philadelphia and attended the game.
