Chris Jones Hilariously Vibes to ‘Fate of Ophelia’ at Chiefs Press Conference & Taylor Swift Approves
Chris Jones is pledging allegiance to his teammate’s famous fiancée, and Taylor Swift is loving it.
In a sweet moment from a recent press conference, the Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle walked into the room with the pop star’s Billboard Hot 100-topping single “The Fate of Ophelia” blasting on his phone speaker. “… on the land, the sea …,” Jones sings along to Swift’s voice with a big smile on his face in a video posted to TikTok on Thursday (Oct. 30).

As he exits the junket, Jones once again presses “play” on the track and bops his head to the beat, cranking up the volume on his phone. “Y’all take care!” he says before leaving the room as reporters laugh.
One of the thousands of people who saw the clip was Swift, who gave her stamp of approval by dropping a “like” on the video. The 14-time Grammy winner has liked a number of TikToks featuring the single, including one post of a group of little girls performing original choreography to “Ophelia” at a wedding and another of a young boy reciting the song’s lyrics.
Jones is far from the only person enjoying “The Fate of Ophelia,” which dropped Oct. 3 as part of Swift’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl. The track has ruled at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for three weeks so far, and the pop star is gunning for a fourth aided by the recent release of a stripped-back version titled “The Fate of Ophelia (Alone in My Tower Acoustic Version).”
No. 95 also isn’t the only person on the Chiefs who’s a fan of the Shakespeare-inspired love song. At the team’s game against the Washington Commanders on Monday (Oct. 27), Travis Kelce celebrated his historic 100th touchdown by doing some of his fiancée’s “Fate of Ophelia” choreography in the end zone.
The moment was even more special as Swift herself was in the crowd to cheer on the tight end, who now ties Priest Holmes for the most regular-season TDs in the Chiefs’ history. Despite her busy Showgirl rollout — and possibly wedding planning — the singer has been present at many of Kelce’s home games this season.
