Chiefs Coach Dave Merritt 'Thought He Was Special' When Taylor Swift Sent Him a 'Victory' Gift After Recent Win

Kansas City Chiefs defensive backs coach Dave Merritt is the latest lucky recipient of one of Taylor Swift's famed homemade pop tarts, but it sounds like his spirits were a little crushed when he discovered that he wasn't the first to earn the honor of her culinary expertise.

"Taylor Swift baked homemade victory Pop Tarts [for] me!" he wrote excitedly in a new post on X, revealing that he "thought [he] was SPECIAL" until his wife, Yolonda, pointed out that the singer has a penchant for gifting members of the team a variety of sweet treats.

"Sweet young woman regardless!" he added.

He also included a photo of Swift with one of his daughters and a photo of the box that his pop tarts came in, which were specifically labeled as "VICTORY POPTARTS!" in black marker. On the bottom, she added, "Congratulations! Love, Taylor."

It's not clear which victory earned the box of pastries, as Swift hasn't been in attendance since the Nov. 4 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the team has won two of their three games since.

Presuming they were sent for the latest win on Sunday, Nov. 24, fans were impressed by the "Style" songstress' stamina to get through "performing 3 consecutive shows this weekend" and then wake up on Monday morning only to "BAKE DOZENS of pop tarts."

"M’am I haven’t even put my folded laundry away from Sunday. 🤦🏻‍♀️🫠," one added.

"You got victory Pop Tarted?" another fan replied excitedly, calling the gesture "epic," while someone else cheered, "That’s one awesome Team Mom ya’ll got!"

Others applauded Swift's generosity, with one declaring, "This is why Taylor has the fan base that she does. She is humble, gracious & generous! Name me one other person of her fame level that is baking goods & sewing baby blankets for people. She is right person to be the most famous woman in the world. Class act & a great role model!"
