Thanks to her high-profile relationship with Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift has already taken over the NFL.
The 14-time Grammy winner is a regular at Arrowhead Stadium, supporting Kelce at Chiefs regular-season home games and all playoff games, but could she be about to take over another sport?
The NHL posted a video on TikTok on Wednesday of Seattle Kraken assistant coach Jessica Campbell — the first-ever female coach in NHL history — and during a rapid-fire question-and-answer session, Campbell revealed that she is a confirmed Swiftie.
“What do you listen to pregame?” the interviewer asked.

Campbell didn’t even take time to think about the question before blurting out “Taylor Swift.”
Swift was also Campbell’s answer to two more follow-up questions — “Who was your first concert?” and “Which celebrity are you dying to meet?”

Campbell was promoted to the Kraken coaching staff on July 2024 after two seasons as an assistant coach with the Coachella Valley Firebirds, the Kraken’s American Hockey league affiliate.
She was also a decorated player before making the jump to coaching, starring for the Cornell Big Red from 2010 to 2014, and she won several medals including gold at the 2010 World U18 Championship and 2014 4 Nations Cup, and silver at the 2015 World Championship, 2015 4 Nations Cup, and 2009 World U18 Championship while skating for Team Canada.
