White House congratulates 'all the Swifties out there' following Kansas City ... trends now
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre congratulated 'all the Swifties out there' after the Kansas City Chief's Super Bowl win but she couldn't say if Taylor Swift would join boyfriend Travis Kelce when the team gets honored by President Joe Biden.
'The President was able to catch some of the game and, on his behalf, I want to extend a big congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on their third Super Bowl win in just five seasons. And also congratulations to all the Swifties out there,' she said Monday at her daily press briefing.
Kansas City's come-from-behind win came amid an online conspiracy theory the Chiefs would win a 'rigged' Super Bowl in order to help Biden win a second term in the White House.

The last time the Chiefs played the San Francisco 49ers was in 2020 and, that same year, Biden defeated Donald Trump in the presidential election. The two men are on track for a 2024 rematch.
The winning team traditionally gets an invitation to the White House. Jean-Pierre couldn't say when the Chiefs would arrive or if Swift would be with them, noting it is up to the team on who to invite.
'That's going to be up to the to the Chiefs and, obviously, their decision to figure out who's going to come with them when they come. And as you know, it's a White House tradition. I can't I can't speak to attendance and who will be here, but we look forward to having them here,' she said.
She said she didn't know if the players could bring a plus one.
Swift endorsed Biden in 2020 and she is said to be a top target for the campaign to have on their side in this year's general election.
The 'Shake it Off' singer traveled halfway around the world from her tour stop in Japan to Las Vegas to cheer on her boyfriend's team. Afterward, she took to the field to give him a congratulatory kiss. The couple also joined players at a Vegas club to dance the night away.
After the game, which Kansas won 25-22 in overtime, Kelce said it's on to the next feat.
'I´m going to go ahead and enjoy this and everything that just happened,' he said. 'This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I´ve been able to go through three times now. It gets sweeter and sweeter every time.
'You know the goal has always been to get three. But we couldn´t get here without getting that two, and having that target on our back all year.'
