As this year's NFL season continues, check out all of the celebrities hoping that the Kansas City squad will make it to the Super Bowl once again.

Taylor Swift

Even though she's from Pennsylvania, Swift recently starting rooting for Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs over his brother Jason's team, the Philadelphia Eagles.

The "Bejeweled" singer fueled romance rumors about herself and Travis when she showed up for two Chiefs games on consecutive Sundays. When she first popped up at Arrowhead Stadium in late September, Swift dressed in the team's colors and wore her classic red lip to match.

Paul Rudd

The Ant-Man star grew up in Kansas City, and he's remained true to his home team. Ahead of the Super Bowl in 2023, in which the Chiefs played the Philadelphia Eagles, Rudd told PEOPLE that he expected the game to be "very stressful."

Luckily, Rudd's team came out on top! The Chiefs bested the Eagles and took home the championship.

"I can't believe it," Rudd said in a post-game interview with his son, Jack, for Fox Sports. "It was such a great game, and, wow, it all just feels so overwhelming and incredible."

Jason Sudeikis

Ted Lasso viewers think of Sudeikis as a coach on screens, but in real life he's just another fan! Having grown up near Kansas City, the actor doesn't hide his love for the Chiefs — and the team loves him back. In September 2023, Travis Kelce raved to PEOPLE about his love for Ted Lasso.

"Jason Sudeikis is one of my favorites," the Chiefs tight end shared. "He and his family always pop in for a game here and there."

Miranda Lambert

Lambert's Dallas Cowboys didn't make it to Super Bowl LVII, but the singer managed to show some love for her home state by cheering for the Chiefs.

"Let’s go @Chiefs!" she wrote on X in preparation for the 2023 Super Bowl. "Rootin for my fellow East Texan @PatrickMahomes," she added, shouting out the team's quarterback.

Brad Pitt

The Missouri-born A-lister showed his team spirit at the 2021 SAG Awards, where an attendee gifted him with a Chiefs hat. Pitt rocked the NFL swag as he snapped selfies with a cheering crowd at the event.

Heidi Gardner

Kansas City native Gardner wrote a lengthy Instagram ode addressed to the Chiefs when they made it to the Super Bowl this past February.

"I’ve waited for this day to come for my whole life. You’ve brought me so much joy. It’s been so fun to watch you play every Sunday. Watching you has brought me closer to my family and friends," the Saturday Night Live star captioned a photo of herself on the field holding a Patrick Mahomes jersey.

Eric Stonestreet

"I've been a Chiefs fan through all of it, even when we weren't as good as we are now," the Modern Family star told PEOPLE in 2022. "I'm dedicated."

Kevin Richardson

Richardson may hail from Kentucky, but his Kansas-born wife Kristin has swayed his football preferences.

"I grew up in Kentucky so I didn't have a pro football team to root for so I just started rooting for my favorite players," the Backstreet Boy told KSHB 41, a Kansas City news station. "It started with Terry Bradshaw, then Joe Montana and when he left San Francisco to come to Kansas City, that's when we started dating ... and I've been a fan ever since."

Rob Riggle

In January 2023, Riggle shared a photo and a video of himself in Chiefs gear to congratulate the team on their successful season.

"Congratulations @chiefs on another AFC Championship!!! I’m so proud of you guys!!! #lovekansascity #superbowl2023 #amazinggame," said the actor in his caption, which accompanied a clip of him dancing in a Patrick Mahomes jersey.

Henry Winkler

Winkler once voiced and starred in a Chiefs promotional video posted on the team's official Instagram. During his October 2022 appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, the Barry star shouted out his favorite player with high praise.

"Have you met Patrick Mahomes? I think he's one of my heroes," he said while Eisen was trying to discuss Winkler's own career. "His ability is such a cut above. He is so passionate in the way he plays."

Then Winkler playfully addressed #15 and offered him a homemade meal: "Patrick, hi!" said The Fonz himself. "We make a great chicken stuffed with ricotta spinach with an unbelievable reduction. It can be yours if you're here in L.A."

Henry Cavill

The Superman star became a super-fan of the Kansas City Chiefs when he moved from the U.K. to the U.S.

"I realized I had to pick a team. I said to myself, 'Superman is from Kansas.' It just made sense to me," the actor explained during a 2018 interview with Rich Eisen.

Melissa Etheridge

Kansas local Etheridge has attended many Chiefs games. She even performed at the team's AFC Championship game in 2019. The singer has also appeared on the NFL morning show Good Morning Football, and she's written her own music about her beloved team.
