A glimpse into apartment life!
Watching the Kansas City Chiefs play on the field, it’s hard to overlook the fun going on in the star-studded field shown on the screen as the players cheer the team on.
Chariah Gordon — who is the fiancee of Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. — is no stranger to the suite, known for giving fans an inside look when she posted a PDA-filled pic of herself with her partner alongside Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in October 2023.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Gordon talks about his friendship with the pop superstar and the fun they had together watching their loved ones play in pursuit of a third consecutive Super Bowl title this season.

Since officially joining the Chiefs Kingdom last year amid her relationship with Kelce, fans have loved seeing the global superstar relax and have fun at games, though Gordon notes that she’s always been incredibly down-to-earth.
“She’s like that… She’s fun, loving, sweet,” Gordon says of the “So High School” singer. “We’re having a good time and we’re here to support our men. She’s just one of the sweetest people ever… that’s just it.”
Their supportive intent has been on full display since last season, which culminated with Gordon’s fiance Hardman scoring the winning touchdown in Super Bowl 2024. The women were seen jumping, hugging and screaming with excitement.

While Gordon respectfully chooses to keep her relationship with Swift “private,” she hasn’t been shy about sharing their sweet moments in the suite on social media. In fact, she admitted to PEOPLE that she didn’t expect her iconic October photo to go viral the way it did.

“I just thought we looked cute and I posted it,” Gordon says of the photo, which shows Swift kissing Kelce next to her and Hardman. “I didn’t have any [any] thought about it, honestly. I didn’t know it was going to be this big.”
“I had no expectations,” she continued. “I just posted really honestly because we had a good time and it was a really nice photo.”
“I didn’t know I was breaking the internet!” she jokes. – I was unaware of all that.
In fact, Gordon admits she was initially “licked” when the post started blowing up. “It kind of made me feel like I did something wrong,” she says, but adds, “But I know I haven’t because it’s just a pretty photo.”
Ultimately, Gordon had no intention behind the photo. “Honestly, I didn’t think, I just did it and it turned out to be something incredibly big.” She clarifies, “I mean, it’s just good times with good people that I care about — and that’s just it.”

After the first photo arrived, Gordon and Swift had some fun recreating the couple’s iconic goals taken earlier this year. “Part: ii <3..." Gordon captioned an Instagram post from September.
“It was more like, ‘Let’s just recreate something that we did. I think it would be funny,'” Gordon tells PEOPLE of the thought process behind the next post. “And it was,” she says, adding, “It was just something to relive that special moment in time that they all shared together.”
In the new photos, Swift planted another kiss on Kelce’s left cheek while placing her hand on his right cheek. Meanwhile, Gordon hugged Hardman.
Of course, fans spoke up in the comments on the post. Many even thanked Gordon for “blessing” them with the photos, calling her the “content queen” for sharing.
“Chariah is breaking the internet part II. You are our MVP ❤️,” one user wrote. “THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE CHARIJA 🫡❤️❤️❤️❤️,” wrote another.

In response to one fan who said she’s “feeding all of us Swifties here,” Gordon tells PEOPLE that the fan’s comments made her laugh. “When they say that, it cracks me up because I’m literally just living my life.”
She explains, “I’m not intentionally thinking, ‘Oh, hey, let me feed them.’ I’m just enjoying myself — but I love Swifties!” She adds, “They show me nothing but love and I appreciate that because it’s genuine across the board.”
Gordon, in fact, surrounded herself with Swifties last weekend when she traveled to Indianapolis to support the final leg of the U.S. leg of the pop superstar’s Eras Tour on Friday, Nov. 1 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
“Go sister!!!!!!” Gordon wrote on her Instagram Stories, along with a series of heart-shaped eye emojis alongside a video of Swift performing on stage. She shared another video in which she was seen singing “You Belong With Me.”
