Tom Cruise recently opened up about his conversation with Taylor Swift at the Kansas City Chiefs game. He said that the singer-songwriter "schooled" him about football and praised her humor and writing.
Taylor Swift is married to Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. She was in attendance to watch their game against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Monday, September 14. The Chiefs won 31-10.
Swift was spotted sitting and having a conversation with Tom Cruise at the game. The actor appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday and spoke about meeting the singer. When Fallon asked him what they were talking about, Cruise said:
"She was schooling me on football. For real. Like, she was bringing the football. First of all, she’s a genius. I’ve been following her since she was a kid. Everybody there, all their friends, they’re a beautiful couple, you know, and magical in their own right. And everybody there in that booth. I haven’t been to a football game since pre-COVID, you know, when I was working and everything. So to get to hang out there and have that moment, it was a lot."
Tom Cruise said that Taylor Swift "didn't know anything" about football before meeting Travis Kelce. However, he added that she now knows everything. He also said that they spoke about music and movies, and added:
"She's funny. She's got such a great sense of humour. She is a brilliant writer, also."
According to the Daily Mail, there are rumors that Cruise and Swift might even collaborate on the Days of Thunder sequel.
