Tom Cruise and Taylor Swift made headlines on Monday when they sat next to each other at the Kansas City Chiefs’ first game of the season. But what were the two megastars talking about?

“She was schooling me on football. For real,” Cruise revealed to Jimmy Fallon during an appearance on “The Tonight Show” on Thursday. But that wasn’t the first time Cruise and Swift have had a meeting of the minds — he was spotted at her Eras Tour in London in 2024, and when the pop star married Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in July, Cruise was in attendance.
