New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is a fan of Taylor Swift, but believes a different NFL tight end should be at her side.

Kraft was seen speaking to a group in a video on social media this Saturday, where he discussed Swift's star status, as well as her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

“Think about it: she was 18, 19 years old. [years old] and he has done it quite well. Except she maybe she should have been dating Gronk. [former Patriots star Rob Gronkowski]. “He's more handsome.”

Kraft smiled as he made his joke, but he prefaced that little joke with a story about Swift's attendance at the Chiefs-Patriots matchup last regular season, one in which he gave him a gift.

“Taylor, your first stadium concert was on my birthday in 2010, June 5,” Kraft told the group. “We convinced her and her family that she could fill a stadium.

“So when he came to see the Chiefs play the Patriots this year in Gillette, I gave him a framed ticket from that concert, June 5, 2010.”

While Kraft may want Swift to date Gronkowski, the 34-year-old has been with his longtime girlfriend, Camille Kostek, a former Patriots dancer and current model, since he was in New England winning championships alongside Tom Brady .

Meanwhile, the romance between Swift and Kelce captivated the NFL this season, including the Chiefs' victory over the Patriots on Dec. 17, 2023, on the road at Gillette Stadium.

The Chiefs ended up going to the Super Bowl again this season, defeating the San Francisco 49ers in overtime to retain their title as NFL champions.

Gronkowski, who initially retired in 2019 before returning to the field with Brady in Tampa Bay, brought out the best in Kelce and the Chiefs before retiring again. He arrived in Super Bowl LV, where the Buccaneers defeated the Chiefs, 31-9, with Gronkowski scoring two touchdowns in the game.

While Gronkowski continues to enjoy life post-retirement with Kostek, Kelce took the long flight to Sydney, Australia to see Swift's Eras Tour, which was another international stop for him. He previously went to Buenos Aires, Argentina, during the Chiefs' bye week to also support Swift.
