The Chiefs' official roster lists Worthy at 5-foot-11. Swift's height is generally reported as being slightly shorter. The footwear Swift was wearing at the time likely contributed to the perceived height difference, leading to Worthy's amused comment, "Oh s---, she's taller than me."

Worthy later confirmed the encounter was his first time meeting the singer. He recounted the exchange to ABC 30, saying, "I just met her. It's the video going viral right now. I was like, 'Damn, she's tall. She's taller than me.'" He added that Swift recognized him as the Chiefs' first-round draft pick, initiating the conversation by asking, "Oh, you're the one who got drafted?"

Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, recently spoke about her unwavering support for his football career. "She's fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game," Kelce stated. The 35-year-old tight end is currently in his 12th NFL season, finishing the regular season with 823 receiving yards. While this marks his second consecutive year below the 1,000-yard mark, Kelce expressed his determination to continue pursuing his football aspirations, fueled by the support he receives.
