Saints' Khalen Saunders, brother of Taylor Swift backup dancer, records 1st career interception vs Chiefs

FOX Sports' Peter Schrager joins Colin Cowherd to break down how the Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated despite losing their key players.

Worlds converged on Monday night during the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the New Orleans Saints with Taylor Swift in attendance high above Arrowhead Stadium.

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs were driving down the field again in the third quarter. Mahomes threw a pass intended for wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Instead, the ball went off of the veteran’s hands and into the arms of defensive lineman Khalen Saunders.

Saunders rumbled for a 37-yard return, which helped set up the Saints’ touchdown pass from Derek Carr to Foster Moreau. The interception was a career first for Saunders, and it became an interesting answer to a potential trivia question down the road.

Saunders is the brother of Kameron Saunders, who is one of Swift’s backup dancers on the pop star’s "Eras Tour."

The 6-foot, 324-pound defensive tackle played for the Chiefs from 2019 to 2022 – before the Swift-Travis Kelce relationship took off during the 2023 season. He played in all 17 games for the Saints last season and has appeared in two this year.
