8-Year-Old Taylor Swift Fan Leaves Jason Kelce in a “Lifeless State” as She Makes an “Appeal” in Replacement to the Scholarship He offered Her and 12 Other Children
An 8-year-old girl drew up a game plan to meet Taylor Swift — and with a future Hall of Fame center leading the way, she scored a priceless viral moment.
Third-grader Ella Piazza parlayed determination and good luck to gain a brief but memorable audience with Swift — via the shoulders of shirtless Jason Kelce — at the Kansas City Chiefs-Buffalo Bills playoff game over the weekend.
“Jason went out of the suite … and then came over here, and then he picked me up, and then I saw Taylor,” a beaming Ella said Tuesday on NBC’s “TODAY” show. “It was, like, amazing.”
Ella, a devoted Swiftie from Rochester, New York, arrived at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park on Sunday with a sign she wanted to show her favorite singer.
Then as Ella approached the luxury box where Swift was sitting, she got an unexpected boost from Kelce, the brother of the 12-time Grammy winner’s boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The older Kelce, who was free on Sunday after his Philadelphia Eagles were eliminated from the playoffs six nights earlier, spotted Ella, picked her up and made sure she and Swift had their moment.
