A look inside the suite life!
When watching the Kansas City Chiefs play on the field, it’s hard to overlook the fun being had in the star-studded box shown on screen as the WAGs of the players cheer the team on.
Chariah Gordon — who is the fiancée of Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. — is no stranger to the suite, famously giving fans a glimpse inside when she posted a PDA-filled pic with her partner alongside Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in October 2023.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Gordon opens up about her friendship with the pop superstar and the fun they’ve been having together while watching their significant others play in pursuit of a third consecutive Super Bowl title this season.
Since officially joining Chiefs Kingdom last year amid her relationship with Kelce, fans have loved seeing the global superstar let loose and have fun at games, though Gordon notes that she has always been incredibly down-to-earth.
“That’s just who she is… She’s fun, she’s loving, she’s sweet,” Gordon says of the “So High School” singer. “We have a good time and we are there to support our men. She’s just one of the sweetest people ever… that’s just that.”
Their supportive intent has been on full display since last season, which culminated with Gordon’s fiancé Hardman scoring the game-winning touchdown at the 2024 Super Bowl. The women were seen jumping, hugging and screaming in excitement.
“I just thought that we looked cute and I posted it,” Gordon says of the photo that pictures Swift kissing Kelce alongside her and Hardman. “I didn’t have [any] thought into it, honestly. I didn’t know that it was going to be that big.”
“I had no expectations,” she continued. “I just really honestly posted because we had a good time and it was a really nice photo.”
“I didn’t know that I was breaking the internet!” she jokes. “I was oblivious to all of that.”
In fact, Gordon admits that she initially “freaked out” when the post started to blow up. “It kind of made me feel like in a sense, I did something wrong,” she says, though adds, “But I know I didn’t because it’s just a nice photo.”
Ultimately, Gordon had no intention behind the photo. “I think honestly, I was not thinking, just did it and it turned out to be something tremendously huge.” She clarifies, “I mean, it’s just good times with good people that I care about — and that’s just that.”
