Saints’ Khalen Saunders, brother of backup dancer Taylor Swift, records the first interception of his career against the Chiefs

On Monday night, the worlds collided as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the New Orleans Saints and Taylor Swift was in attendance high above Arrowhead Stadium.

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs drove down the field again in the third quarter. Mahomes threw a pass intended for wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Instead, the ball flew out of the veteran’s hands and into the arms of defender Khalen Saunders.

Saunders rumbled in for a 37-yard return that helped set up the Saints’ touchdown pass from Derek Carr to Foster Moreau. The interception was Saunders’ first of his career and became an interesting answer to a possible trivia question in the future.

Saunders is the brother of Kameron Saunders, one of Swift’s backup dancers on the pop star’s “Eras Tour.”

The 6-foot, 324-pound defensive tackle played for the Chiefs from 2019 to 2022 – before Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship really took off in the 2023 season. He played in all 17 games for the Saints last season and appeared in two games this year.

Kameron Saunders was apparently in Kansas City to watch his brother’s team take on his boss’s team.

“PERIOD!!!!! Gameplay! The big boy/D-lineman runs the ball!!!!” wrote the proud brother on his Instagram Stories.

It was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing game for the Saints.
