Taylor Swift is going gaga over Mecole Hardman getting another Super Bowl ring in the recent ceremony. Not only that, but the city of Bowman, Georgia has also left no gaps in celebrating their hometown hero. Now, the Chiefs’ receiver has his legacy framed in the city for a long time to come.

The WR went on Instagram to share a story that is inspirational on so many levels. In his 5 seasons in the KC team, he’s won 3 Super Bowls. It’s only right that his city celebrates him and gives him the love that he deserves.

Hardman uploaded an Instagram Story where he shows a big plaque of himself that is installed in the city he’s from. “Welcome to Bowman, Gerogia. Home of Mecole Hardman Jr. 3 Time Super Bowl Champion,” said the memorabilia. There’s a picture of him during his time at the Georgia Bulldogs which highlights his long journey. “From Granite Bowl to Super Bowl.”

Mecole Hardman signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs and Taylor Swift couldn’t be more hyped for his return. Hardman has been getting Swift’s support for a very long time now. But coming back to the Chiefs ring ceremony, the artist behind The Tortured Poets Department wrote, “AND WE GET ANOTHER YEAR OF MECOLE,” in an IG Live hosted by Clariah Gordon, Hardman’s significant other.

Now that he’s won the Super Bowl LIV, LVII, and LVIII, it’s time for him to reap the fruits of his labor and be the international star that he is right now. Maybe a friendship with Taylor Swift is an added benefit, and this was certainly not the first time he interacted with the singer.

The time Mecole Hardman impressed Taylor Swift with his inner magician

Mecole Hardman’s game winning touchdown catch at Super Bowl 2024 might not be as impressive to some people, but Swift thinks that the Chiefs receiver has magic hands. After winning the game, the Chiefs wideout had some celebratory moments with Taylor Swift and safe to say that she won’t be forgetting him for quite some time.

“Yeah, she was just like, I think she was like, good job. Proud of you. Good game. Like, man, it was crazy. Then she said something about those magic, they said, you and these magic tricks. Because when I first met her, I would do a magic trick with the cards. I got a few tricks I can do with the cards. And she was just like, this is crazy,” told Mecole Hardman on The Pivot Podcast.

A surprising thing about Hardman is that he went to play for the New York Jets in the middle of 2023 season and came back after playing 5 games with the New York team. Guess it didn’t pan out in the east coast for him. But Hardman might have been glad that he got admitted to the Chiefs again and returning might have been the best decision he could have made at the time.
