Khalen Saunders may have had his star-making moment in the NFL on Monday night, intercepting Patrick Mahomes in the end zone and returning the ball nearly 40 yards to give the Saints good field position.
Saunders was uniquely pointed out in a video package right before the play as the brother of one of Taylor Swift’s backup dancers, Kameron Saunders, who is prominently featured on her ‘Eras Tour.’
Khalen Saunders is a former Kansas City Chief who signed with New Orleans last year.
On the play before the video package aired, Saunders tackled Swift’s boyfriend and his former teammate, Travis Kelce to the turf.
Swift and Kameron Saunders are both at the game at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kelce joined Kameron Saunders and Swift on stage on June 23 during one of the ‘Eras Tour’ shows at Wembley Stadium as a fellow back-up dancer.
Kameron has gone viral on social media several times during the ‘Eras Tour’ for his dance improvisations and his unique phrases he utters during ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.’
One of his improv lines of ‘Up yours, w****r!’ in London made Swift break on stage.
Khalen’s interception led to one of two Saints touchdowns in the game, a Derek Carr pass to Foster Moreau.
Saunders and Kelce did win two Super Bowls together with the Chiefs in 2020 and 2023. The Chiefs stayed undefeated with a 26-13 win over the Saints.
