Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy reacts to meeting Taylor Swift: 'She's taller than me'
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was enchanted to meet Taylor Swift when he made a stark observation about the superstar singer and songwriter.
Following the Chiefs' 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC championship game on Sunday, cameras caught Worthy's reaction to seeing Swift on the field to celebrate with her boyfriend and Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce.

"Oh s---," Worthy said to someone off camera. "She's taller than me."
Swift is listed at 5-foot-10, while Worthy is listed at 5-foot-11 on the Chiefs' roster. It should be noted that Swift was wearing heels on the field, as was stated in the video. So it's unclear who is taller — but either way, Swift and Worthy have similar heights.
In an interview with ABC 30 Fresno, Worthy was asked whether he had met Swift before.
"I just met her," Worthy said. "It's the video going viral right now. I was like, 'Damn, she's tall. She's taller than me.'
Worthy continued about the interaction with Swift:
"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."
