Chris Pratt has been a Swiftie 'from day one,' says wife watches NFL because of her
You can count Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger’s among the households that are more invested in the NFL thanks to Taylor Swift.
“I’m a huge fan of Taylor, from day one, bro,” Pratt tells USA TODAY while promoting his Super Bowl commercial with Pringles. “I’m a country music fan and I know that’s where she originally started. I remember her and that song ‘White Horse’ coming out and being like, ‘This kid’s really got something.’”
“White Horse” was Swift’s second single from her second album, “Fearless,” which came out in 2008. The LP won album of the year at the Grammys, the first of Swift’s eventual record-setting four wins in the category.
Pratt went on to call her, “maybe the most important person on the planet.” The Seattle Seahawks fan actually found himself in the same conversation as Swift’s boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. An initial teaser for his Pringles commercial only showed a close-up of a person with a mustache. Some speculated that Kelce was starring in the commercial, but the snack brand later revealed that Pratt was in the ad, playing the role of “Mr. P.”
“I was flattered,” Pratt remarked of the speculation. “Where do the similarities stop?”
Kidding aside, he’s enjoyed watching Kelce’s season unfold on multiple levels.
“What a performer,” Pratt said of Kelce. “Then, also everything that’s been going on in his love life and how that’s sort of gotten my wife and her friends interested in a game that possibly they wouldn’t have been interested in it before. It's been pretty amazing.”

Pratt contemplated a trip to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl with Schwarzenegger because she’s “the biggest Usher fan on the planet.” However they’ll watch the game, and his halftime show performance, from home.“(Katherine) said, ‘No I think I just want to watch at home so I can see his face up close,’” Pratt jokingly recalled. “She knows all the lyrics to every Usher song.”
