In a new interview published on Aug. 29, the professional wrestler, 39, praised Swift, 34, for being “so humble” as he spoke about meeting the singer for the first time at a Kansas City Chiefs game last season. Swift had attended in support of her boyfriendTravis Kelce.

Corbin continued, “But the biggest takeaway for me is when you are around her, she doesn’t act like a star. She acts like a normal amazing person. She is very sweet.”

The WWE star and former football player’s meeting with the Grammy winner was captured in a photo hepostedof the pair together at a Chiefs game on X (formerly Twitter) on Dec. 10 2023, which subsequently went viral. Swift and Kelce had been publicly dating for around three months at the time.

“To see someone so humble and how they carry themselves in that way, it’s nice to see. It really teaches you that when people have an ego they shouldn’t. You look at how the biggest star in the world acts. You should be the same.”

Comparing Swifties to WWE fans, Corbin joked that “they are similar.”

“They are both diehards. If someone comes at Taylor, her whole army takes them down. The same happens when someone comes after a WWE superstar,” he added.
