"She's taller than me." The Chiefs' roster lists Worthy at 5-foot-11. By most accounts, Swift stands around one inch shorter than the Chiefs wide receiver.

"It's the video going viral right now. I was like, 'Damn, she's tall. She's taller than me.'"  Worthy added that Swift recognized him because Kansas City selected him in the first round of April's draft.&nbsp; "We were on the field, and she walked right past me and said, ‘Oh you're the one who got drafted?" Worthy said. "So, we met like that. It was cool."  Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, recently said the pop star continues to support him. "She's fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game," Kelce said earlier this month. Kelce, 35, is playing in his 12th season in the NFL. He appeared in 16 of 17 games and finished the year with 823 receiving yards.

"I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams," Kelce added.&nbsp; Kansas City has advanced to the last seven AFC title games. The Chiefs will take on the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl Feb. 9 in New Orleans. The Chiefs are vying for an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl championship.
