Kansas City Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt has shared her family’s pre-game plans ahead of their historic Super Bowl clash against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans. The Chiefs aim to become the first NFL team to achieve a rare "three-peat" in the Super Bowl era.

The game has drawn global attention, with pop icon Taylor Swift set to cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce, and President Donald Trump becoming the first sitting U.S. president to attend the event.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Gracie revealed the Hunts’ gameday routine: “We’ll wake up, get a workout in, then attend an early morning church service to get our heads right. After that, we’ll tailgate with friends and family before kickoff.” Exuding confidence, she added, “It would mean everything to win three straight titles.”

The stakes couldn’t be higher for the Hunt family, who co-founded the Chiefs. Gracie’s week took an unexpected turn when President Trump openly praised quarterback Patrick Mahomes, calling him “a pretty good winner” and hinting at his support for Kansas City. “That wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card,” Hunt quipped. “But it’s incredible.”

Meanwhile, rumors swirled around Travis Kelce’s potential retirement. The 35-year-old tight end, a future Hall of Famer, hinted he could walk away if the Chiefs secure victory. Earlier in the week, Kelce mentioned possibly playing “up to three more years,” but NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported a decision may come before free agency in March.

“I love this game, but I’m preparing for life after football,” Kelce said during media events. His possible exit adds emotional weight to the game, especially with Swift among the 80,000 fans in attendance.

As the Hunts balance tradition and pressure, Gracie remains focused: “We’re staying grounded. Faith, family, and then football—that’s how we handle moments like this.” With history on the line, the Chiefs’ quest for a dynasty continues under the bright lights of the Superdome.
