Brock Purdy was perhaps one or two plays away from helping the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl championship against the Kansas City Chiefs with a seemingly nervous attitude. Taylor Swift present.
Swift, who is dating Chiefs star Travis Kelce, appeared at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, on Thursday and was asked if the song “Paper Rings” was about Purdy.

“I don’t mind Brock Purdy. He put me through a lot last February. I was really stressed for a second,” says Swift said while signing an autograph for a child.
Purdy was 23-of-38 with 255 passing yards and a touchdown pass. The fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Jauan Jennings put the 49ers ahead by three points with 11:22 remaining.
The teams traded field goals to force overtime, and San Francisco went up by three points early in overtime. Patrick Mahomes had the last laugh, however, and his three-yard pass to Mecole Hardman gave Kansas City the championship.

Swift and Kelce celebrated on the court with a few kisses.
Swift’s song “Paper Rings” was taken from her album “Lover,” which was released in 2019.
For what it’s worth, Purdy was still at Iowa State when “Lover” was released to the masses. He took over as the 49ers’ starting quarterback during the 2022 season and won his first 10 regular season starts.
