“This is a real thing you were in Buffalo at a playoffs game, the Chiefs and the Bills were playing, and you’re in the luxury box with Taylor Swift,” host Jimmy Kimmel said to the comedian, as a large snap of the two at the event appeared on the screen.

“Yes,” Carmichael said nonchalantly, before Kimmel added, “That was not set up, that wasn’t part of the show,” referencing the actor’s new docuseries.

“No, I should have asked for it to be on the show. No that’s my best friend. Taylor Swift is my best friend,” he quipped.

Carmichael joked: “I’m not her best friend but she’s my best friend. Can you think of a better friend to have than Taylor Swift. I called my former best friend and said ‘you’re out’ Taylor’s in. You’ve never invited me on your jet to a game.”

“She very smart and interesting,” Carmichael gushed.

“So, she just called you and said, ‘Do you wanna come to the game with me?’” Kimmel asked.

“Ya, and she knows more about football than I do,” Carmichael said of the superstar, who has been dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce since July 2023.

“She does? Did you ask her questions about football?” Kimmel queried, to which The Carmichael Show alum teased, “Ya, I’m the girlfriend in that situation.”
