Fans will get to see "a little peek" into Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship in the new ESPN series, The Kingdom, Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt tells PEOPLE

Clark Hunt may be the owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, but even he learned a little something about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship while watching The Kingdom.
Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at the premiere of the six-part ESPN series about the NFL team on Sunday, Aug. 24, Hunt, 60, shared how The Kingdom gives fans a “fun … little peek into Travis' relationship with Taylor” and shares a “unique” aspect of it that neither of them has opened up about before.
"There were definitely some elements of that where there were some new things that we learned,” Hunt says on the red carpet during the exclusive screening, which was held at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City.
"We all lived the experience of having her join the Chief's Kingdom a couple of years ago, and hearing the recounting of her coming to that first game, really from her perspective, I thought was really unique," Hunt adds.
Swift, 35, attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game on Sept. 23, 2023 alongside tight end Travis’ mom Donna Kelce. The game took place at the Arrowhead Stadium, with the Chiefs beating the Chicago Bears 41-10 with the help of a touchdown from Travis, 35.

Swift and Travis then went on to confirm their romance the following month when they stepped out holding hands at a Saturday Night Live afterparty in New York City.
Hunt’s comments come after the pop superstar made a record-breaking appearance on Travis and his brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast on Aug. 13 and revealed the “insane” football question she asked Travis on their first ever date.
“On our first date, I legitimately asked him what it was like when the Chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl and he looked across the field across the line of scrimmage and saw his brother standing on the other… five feet in front of him on the field,” Swift recalled.
In 2022, the Chiefs went head-to-head in the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles when Jason, 37, was still on the team before he retired.

Jason noted that such a look between the brothers “didn’t happen,” as that’s not how the game works and Swift praised Travis for being “so non-judgmental” about her lack of football knowledge.

“[Travis] didn’t even look at me. Like, I now know what an insane question that was. He was like, ‘Actually, I’m on the offense and my brother’s on the offense, and I’m only on the field at the same time as the defense.’ I thought everyone was on the field at the same time,” Swift said, adding that she “fell in love” with football, and is now “obsessed” with the game.
