EntertainmentSportsEagles die-hard Rob McElhenney cheekily ribs famous Chiefs fans Taylor Swift and Paul Rudd before Super Bowl

As the two teams go head-to-head on the turf, there will be famous faces dotted all around Caesars Superdome, watching it all unfold.

Kansas City have won back-to-back Super Bowl titles, and could become the first team to win three-straight in New Orleans.

Other celebrities including Paul Rudd, Caitlin Clark and Jason Sudeikis are well known Chiefs fans, and could also be in attendance at the game.

Meanwhile, in the green corner are the likes of Rob McElhenney, Bradley Cooper and Kevin Hart, who are all die-hard Eagles fans.

Hart even had a rather embarrassing moment at the Super Bowl seven years ago, which he will no doubt look to avoid this year.

With so many famous faces expected to head to Caesars Superdome on Sunday, McElhenney turned up the heat on his Chiefs-loving celebrity rivals with a cheeky message.

In an interview with People magazine, the Wrexham AFC co-owner was asked which team has the ‘better’ famous fan base.

“The Chiefs may have Taylor Swift, but we have Rob McElhenney and Bradley Cooper. Who has the better deal there?” the host asked him.

“We also have Quinta Brunson, too. Between Quinta, Bradley, myself and Kevin Hart, I’d like to believe that’s some heavy hitters,” McElhenney responded.

“They’ve got Taylor and Paul Rudd… I guess they’re charming and successful.

“But I think, just numbers-wise, we’ve got them… right? Go Birds!”

The Eagles will be hoping their fans – famous or not – can be a factor in helping them get over the line on Sunday.

Philadelphia head into the Super Bowl as slight underdogs, with Kansas City favored to secure the win.

But anything can happen on the night, and those wearing green will be hoping to bring the Vince Lombardi Trophy home for the second time.

“There’s no city like Philly when it comes to sports,” wide receiver DeVonta Smith said this week, praising Eagles supporters.

“We have the best fans, it’s the best sports city.”
