And many fans believe that Khalen played a role in the A-list couple first connecting last year.
Khalen is a hugely successful NFL star in his own right.
The 324-pounder was selected by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft .
In four years with the team, he played in 38 games and recorded 81 tackles and 4.5 sacks.
After his rookie deal with the Chiefs expired, he signed a three-year pact with the New Orleans Saints worth a maximum of $14.5 million.
After leaving the Chiefs, the 27-year-old described the free agency process as “emotional as hell.”
Khalen recently revealed that he was most likely the biggest Swiftie on the Saints squad.
“Might be me; I’ve got my brother performing on the tour with her. I’ve been to a couple of shows, been to a couple of events out there in Vegas,” he said .
“I’m just having a good time supporting my brother. I might have title on that one.”
Khalen has described himself as a “dancing panda.”
“I’m the biggest guy on the defensive line, and I know I’m an athlete,” he said .
“So, that just goes to show, all of our guys, we’ve got a bunch of dancing pandas in there.
“A lot of guys quick, nimble on their feet.”

Last season, Khalen started all 17 games for the Saints and had a career-high 57 tackles.
He failed to log any sacks despite having 3.5 the year before, however.
When asked about his one-field skills, Saunders said: “I’m a big body, I’m more of a run player.
“Big body. You know, I definitely use violence in my hands and stuff like that.
“And also, just athleticism. Just raw athleticism. I take pride in being an athlete.”
