The first Monday Night Football game brought some of the biggest stars together as the Kansas City Chiefs hosted the Denver Broncos. Pop star Taylor Swift was in attendance to support her husband, Travis Kelce, in his first game of his 14th NFL season. In the suite, the 14-time Grammy winner sat and chatted with movie star Tom Cruise of Top Gun, Top Gun: Maverick and the upcoming Digger.
So, what do two people at the top of their craft talk about when they get together?
Cruise was on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night, telling the host what topics the duo covered, and you might be surprised. Football was one of the big subjects, with Cruise being wildly impressed with the knowledge Swift had built up since she started dating
the tight end in 2023.
"She was schooling me on football," Cruise said with a smile. "For real... First of all, she's a genius. I've been following her since she was a kid."

Cruise also had a chance to sit down with both Travis and Jason Kelce this week as the guest on their New Heights podcast, and he continued to say lovely things about Swift.
