Chris Jones’ inner Swiftie was on full display when he walked into the Chiefs’ press conference room on Thursday.
The three-time Super Bowl champion defensive lineman was jamming out to “The Fate of Ophelia” from Taylor Swift’s new “The Life of a Showgirl” album, blasting the song on his phone when he walked into the room full of reporters.
“One hundred on the land, the sea,” Jones started belting out with a grin when he walked up to the microphones.
“How ya’ll doing?” the three-time All-Pro Second Team member then asked as reporters chuckled in the background.
Swift, of course, holds a special place in Chiefs kingdom, with the global pop icon engaged to superstar tight end Travis Kelce.

Astonishingly, one reporter had to ask Jones what song he was singing before he walked out of the room.
Jones put the song back on before exiting the room with a big smile and bopping his head to the tune.

Jones also made news on Thursday when he revealed that he had received some of Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s wife’s pasta.

The 31-year-old first put the idea out into the universe after the Chiefs shut out the Raiders 31-0, telling reporters after the Oct. 19 game that he told Spagnuolo that “everybody should have pasta.”
Someone asked Jones about it on Thursday, and he confirmed that he had gotten his wish.
Chris got his pasta! 🍝
After the defense shut out the Raiders, Chris Jones told Coach Spags that his wife should make her famous pasta to celebrate.
He says, “O-M-G, she’s serious in the kitchen. I’ve been very nice to Spags lately… My profanity has completely stopped.” 😂 pic.twitter.com/FWUHgQCZit

“I did get pasta,” he said. Mrs. Spags is an amazing cook. Oh my god, if you guys ever had the chance or opportunity to taste her homemade sauce…O-M-G, she’s serious in the kitchen. I’ve been very nice to Spags lately.”
He joked that “I hope I continue to receive pasta.”
The Chiefs only allowed one touchdown against the Commanders in Week 8, and if they can contain the Bills’ offense on Sunday, Jones may have another case for more pasta.
