New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is a fan of Taylor Swift, but he believes a different NFL tight end should be by her side. 

Kraft was seen speaking to a group in a video on social media this Saturday, where he discussed Swift’s star status as well as her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. 

"Think about it: She was 18, 19 [years old] and she’s done pretty well. Except maybe she should’ve been dating Gronk [former Patriots star Rob Gronkowski]. He’s better looking."

Kraft smiled while making his joke, but he prefaced that small quip with a story about Swift’s attendance at the Chiefs-Patriots matchup this past regular season – one where he gave her a gift.

"Taylor, her first stadium concert was on my birthday in 2010, June 5," Kraft told the group. "We convinced her and her family that she could sell out a stadium.

"So, when she came to view the Chiefs play the Patriots this year at Gillette, I gave her a framed ticket from that concert, June 5, 2010."

While Kraft may want Swift to date Gronkowski, the 34-year-old has been with his longtime girlfriend, Camille Kostek, a former Patriots dancer and current model, since he was in New England winning championships alongside Tom Brady.
