Olivia Dunne and her boyfriend Paul Skenes know what it takes to win championships in New Orleans. The LSU gymnastics star has celebrated NCAA glory, and Skenes has hoisted a College World Series trophy.
But when it comes to Super Bowl 59, her support isn’t based on stats or team history-it’s all about Taylor Swift.
Olivia Dunne shows off Super Bowl alliance to Taylor Swift
Speaking to DailyMail.com in New Orleans ahead of the big game, Dunne revealed that she’ll be rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs as they take on the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome. The reason? She’s a devoted Swiftie.
“Tomorrow for the game, I am rooting for the Chiefs,”Dunne said at Sports Illustrated’s Super Bowl party.
“Unpopular opinion around here, which I’ve heard a lot about. But I’m very excited, and it’s my first Super Bowl, so it’s gonna be a great time.”
When pressed on why she’s backing Kansas City, Dunne kept it simple: “I’m a Swiftie…”
The social media sensation, who boasts nearly 13 million followers across TikTok and Instagram, has a personal connection to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Last year, she and Kelce teamed up as brand ambassadors for the energy drink Accelerator, spending time together while filming a commercial.
Despite working with Kelce, Dunne has yet to meet his superstar girlfriend-but she’s hoping that changes at the Super Bowl.
“I have not met Taylor, but I know Travis. We’re business partners, and he’s a great guy,”Dunne shared.
“And I’m sure Taylor’s amazing. I love her.”
On the possibility of meeting Swift at the game, Dunne didn’t hide her excitement: “I hope so!”
Dunne is attending the NFL’s biggest night alongside Skenes, who made waves in his rookie season with the Pirates in 2024.
While her boyfriend’s athletic achievements are impressive, Dunne often steals the spotlight with her show-stopping outfits.
From her fiery red dress at Skenes’ National League Rookie of the Year celebration to her stunning blue gown at the MLB awards banquet, the gymnast-turned-influencer knows how to turn heads.
This Super Bowl appearance is no different.
On Saturday night, Dunne lit up social media once again, posing for viral photos with ring girl Sydney Thomas and actress Emma Roberts at a Super Bowl party.
