Gracie Hunt, the heiress of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, has sparked rumors of a new romance following the apparent end of her relationship with real estate broker Cody Keith. The 26-year-old socialite shared a video on her Instagram story that showcased an embrace with an unidentified man at Arrowhead Stadium, a location that holds sentimental value for the couple. The post featured a caption quoting lyrics from Taylor Swift’s song “Invisible String,” suggesting a deeper connection: “After meeting seven and a half years ago in this place, all along there was some invisible string.”
This new development has raised eyebrows, particularly as Gracie’s relationship with Keith had been under public scrutiny for some time. Keith’s absence at significant events, including Gracie’s recent birthday celebration and the Chiefs’ Super Bowl game against the Philadelphia Eagles, has fueled speculation about their split.
In an intriguing twist, sources indicate that Gracie may now be dating a classmate of Taylor Swift, further intertwining the worlds of sports and pop music. The new suitor, who is also 35, hails from St. Louis, the same hometown as Swift and her family. Reports suggest that the pop superstar played a role in introducing the two, a development that adds a layer of intrigue to the budding relationship.
Gracie Hunt and Taylor Swift have shared a cordial rapport, especially since Swift began dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in the summer of 2023. The Hunt family’s close ties to Swift are highlighted by their generous birthday gift to the singer—a Judith Lieber Swarovski microphone purse valued at nearly $5,000, presented for her 34th birthday last December.
Gracie has openly expressed her admiration for Swift, acknowledging the significant impact the singer has had on the Chiefs’ fan base. In a January interview with People, she noted that Swift’s attendance at a Chiefs game in September 2023 had boosted the team’s following by an impressive 30 to 40%. “She is absolutely incredible as the whole world knows,” Gracie remarked. “It’s been such a special time to have her be a part of Chiefs Kingdom. She is just as beautiful and wonderful as you’d ever imagine her to be. So smart and intelligent.”
As Gracie embarks on this new chapter in her romantic life, the continued intertwining of sports and pop culture remains a captivating narrative, drawing fans from both worlds closer together. Whether this new relationship flourishes or not, it underscores the unique connections that can emerge from the intersection of celebrity and sport.
