After cheering for the touchdown-scoring play with her arms in the air, Swift brought them down and held up all ten fingers. This is likely a direct salute to Pacheco, who wears the number ten on his jersey.
The musical superstar and celebrity icon has been in attendance for all three of the Chiefs' games during the NFL playoffs after appearing at several of their regular season games as well.
She has been a bit of a good luck charm for them as they have a solid 8-3 record in games that she attends. They are hoping she will witness their ninth win, as that would get the defending champions back to yet another Super Bowl.
