Controversial Chiefs star Harrison Butker teamed up with conservative commentators Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly on Thursday night.

The 29-year-old Kansas City kicker, who sparked an outcry from liberals earlier this year with his personal religious and political beliefs, attended Carlson’s live show with special guest Kelly at the city’s T-Mobile Center.

After the show, which was part of Carlson’s first-ever national arena tour, the Super Bowl winner went backstage to meet the media personalities.

They even captured the moment with a photo of the conservative trio, which was shared on the host’s Instagram and reposted on the NFL player’s story.

Butker’s meeting with his “friends” came just a day after Kelly launched a scathing attack on Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of his Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce.

The former Fox News host brutally criticized Swift after the Pop star, 34, publicly supported Vice President Kamala Harris, 59, after their debate with Donald Trump78, on Tuesday evening.

Kelly claimed that the singer and her boyfriend Kelce, also 34, were “the epitome of an elite snob” who couldn’t care less about the fate of American children because they were too busy “jetting around the world” and “sitting in their mansions.”

The media personality then criticized the Grammy award winner She described her statement, which she shared with her 284 million followers on Instagram, as “disgusting”. In it, she claimed that the hitmaker and the NFL star were “too obsessed with their money” to focus on the growing problems in the country.

“You can kiss your sales to the Republican audience goodbye, Taylor. I hope you enjoyed them while you had them,” Kelly said.

In her lengthy Instagram post, Taylor vowed that she is “making sure to watch and read everything I can find” about “Trump and Harris’ policy proposals and plans for this country.”

She said she plans to vote for Kamala because she believes the 59-year-old “fights for the rights and causes that I believe need a fighter to represent them.”

She also praised Kamala’s running mate Tim Walz for “advocating for LGBTQ rights, IVF and women’s rights to their own bodies for decades.”

Butker has courted controversy this year with his own views on women’s and LGBTQ+ rights.

In her lengthy Instagram post, Swift praised Harris’ running mate Tim Walz for “advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”

A few months after helping the Chiefs to their second consecutive Super Bowl victory, he sparked outrage when he told Benedictine College graduates that they should look forward to becoming wives and mothers rather than successful professionals.

He later reiterated the views expressed in the speech and refused to back down from his views as a devout Catholic.

He was also criticized for attacking the LGBTQ+ community and President Joe Biden for his views on abortion. A petition calling on the Chiefs to remove him from their roster eventually garnered nearly 240,000 signatures.

Last month, he implored Trump’s running mate JD Vance, and by extension the former president, to persuade the Republican Party to reverse its stance on abortion.

Kelce has previously defended Butker, but the kicker’s latest stunt could endanger the peace in the Chiefs camp.

Shortly after his girlfriend expressed her support for Harris, it was reported that Kelce would soon make a sensational election announcement of his own.

Kelce has not commented in support of his girlfriend, but it has been suggested that the NFL star shares a similar stance.

“Well, you know, the Taylor Swift rumors are interesting to me because I was told a few days ago that Travis Kelce had also reached out to the Harris campaign when the rumors were first announced and said he wanted to be here the night (Kamala) speaks,” CBS’ Gayle King said last month during the DNC.

This is not the only political divide that could jeopardise the Chiefs’ third win of the season, after it emerged that Swift and her best friend Brittany Mahomes – the wife of quarterback Patrick – are also on opposite sides of the American political spectrum.

Brittany, who has been married to the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback since 2022, sparked a fit of anger from liberals last month when she “liked” a post by Donald Trump on social media.

The close friends’ differing political views have raised concerns about what this might mean for their young friendship.

But despite the controversy, Brittany and Taylor dispelled any rumors of bad blood when the Mahomeses appeared alongside the singer and Kelce at the US Open on Sunday.

A source exclusively told DailyMail.com that they “respect that they have different views” and made a “pact” last month to avoid political discussions. The couple also appeared to be friendly throughout their interactions on the court.

Meanwhile, Mahomes himself played the peacemaker, giving a thoughtful response when asked about his political stance earlier this week.

“I don’t want my platform to be used to support a candidate – one way or another – I’m using it to register people, do their research and make the best decision for themselves and their family,” the quarterback told reporters on Wednesday.

“Every time I’m asked these questions, I’ll come back to it because I believe that’s what makes America great.”
