Watch: Taylor Swift Congratulates Mecole Hardman Following Super Bowl Winner

Former Georgia receiver Mecole Hardman hauled in the game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl LVIII. International superstar Taylor Swift congratulated him after the game.

Regardless of how you feel about the NFL's relentless coverage of the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relationship, you have to admit it was cool seeing the 14-time Grammy winner congratulating former Georgia wideout Mecole Hardman after he hauled in the game-winning touchdown for the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII.

Hardman's OT winner gave the Chiefs their third Super Bowl win in the past five seasons. Video obtained by ABC Kansas City affiliate KMBC 9 shows Swift hugging Hardman following the game in Las Vegas.

"I'm so happy for you guys!" said Swift, embracing Hardman alongside her boyfriend - and All-Pro tight end - Travis Kelce. After catching just two passes in the Chiefs' three postseason games, Hardman caught three passes for 57 yards, including the game-winner in overtime. 

Hardman began the season on the New York Jets but was traded back to the Chiefs in a deal that included a couple of late-round 2025 draft picks. He scored the game-winner on a play the Chiefs call "corndog", that Tyreek Hill ran to deadly perfection during his time in Kansas City, With Hill now in Miami, the task fell to Hardman and he answered the call, earning his third Super Bowl ring in the process.
