It is very well known that Taylor Swift and the Swifties are the ultimate supporters of the Kansas City Chiefs, but recently two major celebrities have shown their support for the team. Singers Adele and Drake have come forward stating their support for the match with Drake even betting $1.15 million on the Chiefs. Adele also mentioned that she is looking forward to the upcoming Super Bowl LVIII.
The fourteen-time Grammy award winner Taylor Swift and pop superstar is a proud supporter of the Kansas City Chiefs. The reason? Her boyfriend Travis Kelce is the team’s star tight end. Swift and Kelce are one of the most powerful and influential couples in the world and they are not shy to demonstrate it. They also hope to celebrate a Super Bowl victory as the Chiefs take on the 49ers.
Drake and Adele Join Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl Squad
Adele has publicly expressed her desire for the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl in support of her friend Taylor Swift after rapper Drake placed a $1.15 million bet on the Chiefs, who are Swift’s favorite team. Adele said when performing the other day that she is a fan of both the Chiefs and Swift and thus wishes for them to win as they have made the game a bit more interesting to watch.
“I think I want the Chiefs to win. And all of you complaining about Taylor being at the games, get a f*cking life. She’s actually made it a bit more enjoyable to watch”
The Super Bowl is dubbed as a clash of the best teams throughout the NFL and also becomes a playground for celebrities and sports betting. This year the stakes couldn’t be higher, since Drake gambled away no less than $1.15 million on it, as stated in his Instagram. Drake — a longtime San Francisco 49ers fan — has bet on Swift, who supports the Kansas City Chiefs, saying he cannot bet against his friend, Taylor Swift.
Adele says she will be supporting the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl for Taylor Swift and defends her from football fans:
“All of you complaining about Taylor being at the games, get a f*cking life. She’s actually made it a bit more enjoyable to watch.”

In addition to Drake and Swift, Adele who has just released her comeback album 30 is also following the NFL match and enjoying Swift’s music. The only thing that will come to show is whether Adele’s wish becomes a reality. But one thing is for sure: with her comments, an extra element of mystery is brought to the coming Super Bowl. The Super Bowl will occur on Sunday, February 11, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. ET, at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The Super Bowl is a championship game that is played annually following the NFL, an American football league. It is among the most-watched sports in the whole world and also profits hugely. The championship game is played between the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference and the winner will be awarded the Vince Lombardi Trophy. As of 2024, 57 Super Bowls have been played with many more to come.
Drake: The Rap Star with a Gambling Habit
Drake, the Canadian rapper, and the billboard topper, is famous for his luxurious life and gambling habit. Drake‘s gambling spans multiple platforms. He has risked plenty of money on sports tournaments, from Super Bowls to UFC matches, frequently posting about them on social media.

He even collaborated with a cryptocurrency casino Stake in 2022. Some stakes such as his historic $1.15 million on the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, are yet to be decided. But his $700,000 loss, according to the New York Post, on UFC fighter Sean Strickland among others demonstrates the underlying risk of gambling and sports betting.

Placing multi-million dollar bets and gaining major mainstream media attention the platform has proven to be a good move for the superstar. However, Drake’s gambling comes without its share of controversy. Critics claim it endorses imprudent conduct and popularizes reckless behavior, mainly concerning the inexperienced fanbase.
