## Caption

Rory Hodges loves Taylor Swift. So much, in fact, that the 7-year-old carries a portable speaker to blast the pop star’s jams while she rides her bike around the Lake Elmo neighborhood where her family lives.

Meanwhile, her father, Andrew, is the family’s resident Chiefs fan. He grew up in Topeka, Kansas. “Being a Chiefs fan is kind of like the next thing after religion there,” he said.

But the gospel never reached his daughter, at least not until the reports started to surface that Swift was dating tight end Travis Kelce. Suddenly, instead of bolting when the Chiefs came on TV, Rory was sitting down with her dad to watch. Andrew Hodges said Rory quickly became a student of the game: asking questions, learning the rules and even trash-talking her friends’ teams, just like dad does.

Between Taylor Swift and Iowa basketball phenom Caitlin Clark, many sports-loving dads have a new chance to connect with daughters around a shared interest.
