Rob Riggle, the well-known actor and comedian, recently shared his positive experience meeting Taylor Swift, girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce. Despite being a avid fan of the Chiefs himself, Riggle couldn’t help but gush over Swift, describing her as an “amazing person” whom he has had the pleasure of spending time with. Their hangout was described as “a lot of fun,” with Riggle expressing his admiration for the singer.
While Riggle may be recognized for his roles in popular TV shows like “Modern Family” and “The Office,” his unwavering loyalty to the Kansas City-based NFL team is no secret to his fans. Having been a Chiefs fan since childhood, Riggle reminisced about attending his first game in 1975, solidifying his dedication to the team. In fact, he even had the honor of being the drum honoree at the team’s recent game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Swift, who was in attendance at the game to support her boyfriend Kelce, was seen engaging in conversation with Kelce’s father in a VIP suite. The couple, both 34, have been together since 2023 and have been spotted enjoying various vacations together. Their relationship has been characterized by mutual admiration and support for each other’s successful careers, with Kelce attending Swift’s Eras Tour shows and Swift cheering on Kelce at NFL games.
In addition to his acting career and love for the Chiefs, Riggle has been actively involved in charitable endeavors. He has been participating in the “Kick off with Crown” (KOWC) program, sponsored by Crown Royal whiskey, to launch the Crown Royal Rig. This initiative involves touring NFL stadiums in an 18-wheeler to host epic tailgate parties, while also inviting NFL fans to help pack purple bags in support of the military charity organization, Packages from Home.
Riggle’s commitment to charitable causes stems from his military background, having served in the Marines from 1990 to 2013. With the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, Riggle served in various locations including Albania and Afghanistan, earning accolades such as the Meritorious Service Medal and a Combat Action Ribbon. His involvement in the Crown Royal collaboration is not just a nod to his military service, but also a genuine appreciation for the generosity and support provided to charitable organizations.
